Summary/Abstract: Czech and Slovak studies are familiar with the Czech and Slovakized Czech grammar textbooks dating back to the first half of the 16th century. Authors of these textbooks, written in Latin, structured them on the model of Roman grammarians Donatus and Priscian and tried to apply the same principles and means to describe the category of verbal aspect. Grammar textbooks by Laurentius Benedictus Nudozierinus, Daniel Krman, Pavel Doležal (Doleschalius), and Anton Bernolák are being compared in terms of the description of the verbal aspect. The work of Daniel Krman, especially, often overlooked by scholars due to its existence only in a manuscript form, is presented here partly as a link between Nudozierinus and Doležal, partly as an exception in understanding the aspect because of its stronger ties with the classical tradition.
