O radu na Animalističkom leksikonu u okviru projekta Kulturna animalistika: interdisciplinarna polazišta i tradicijske prakse
Working on the Animalistic Dictionary within the Project Entitled Cultural Animal Studies: Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Traditional Practices

Summary/Abstract: One segment of the project Cultural Animal Studies: Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Traditional Practices (IP-2019-04-5621) funded by the Croatian Science Foundation relates to the collection, classification and analysis of animalistic lexical material from Croatian Glagolitic texts. The analysis includes selected Croatian Glagolitic codices from the 11th/12th century to the 16th century, with special attention given to miscellanies, an understudied type of Croatian Glagolitic manuscripts. The material was collected from the Dictionary of the Croatian Redaction of Church Slavonic, as well as our four-year work on the project from the following sources: The First Breviary of Beram (Ljubljana) (14th century), The Second Breviary of Beram (Ljubljana) (15th century), The Academy Breviary (end of the 14th century), The Paris Miscellany (1375), The Vinodol Miscellany (beginning of the 15th century), The Petris Miscellany (1468), The Ivančić Miscellany (14th/15th century), The Ljubljana Miscellany (15th century), The Tkon Miscellany (16th century), and the Cyrillic Libro od mnozijeh razloga (1520). The animalistic lexical material from these invaluable sources is the basis of the future historical animalistic dictionary. The aim of this paper is to present how entries will be organized, as well as the ideas, problems, and the motivation behind the dictionary, a unique endeavor in Croatian lexicography. This dictionary will enable future study of Croatian zoonymic lexicon, i.e. it will reveal which old names for animals have been preserved only in certain varieties, and which have become part of standard Croatian.
