Наблюдения върху езика на Житието на св. Екатерина в хърватската книжнина от XV в.
Notes on the Language of the Vita of St Catherine Written in Vernacular Croatian

Summary/Abstract: The paper offers observations on the language of a hagiographic text written in vernacular Croatian. It survives in a manuscript of the 15th century but in all likelihood was written earlier. The work is a translation from Latin written down with Latin script. The language displays features of the Croatian dialects in northern Dalmatia. It presents a relatively early attempt to render ecclesiastical literature in vernacular. The paper discusses vernacular features and suggests that some language peculiarities may have been due to a possible influence of Croatian Glagolitic literature.
