Zapovjed brodovnih obava Bože Babića iz 1878. godine
Zapovjed brodovnih obava by Božo Babić, from 1878.

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the book Zapovjed brodovnih obava u hrvatskom, njemačkom i talijanskom jeziku (Ship Commands in Croatian, German and the Italian Language) by Božo Babić, published 1878 in Bakar, Croatia. Božo Babić was one of the greatest names of the Croatian maritime lexicography. This book is a little special dictionary of ship commands in Croatian, Italian and German. Nineteenth century's ship commands are separated into 14 semantic groups, in which the author demonstrates all the events on the sailing ship from hoisting the sail and handling of the ship under all kinds of winds, to riding at anchor. Babić offers the Croatian commands instead of Italian and German official commands, and instead of common jargon spoken by Croatian seamen - a kind of combination of Croatian and Italian.
