Summary/Abstract: In 1832, a Latin grammar book Knjixica Rucsna was published in Osijek by the Bosnian Franciscan Ambroz Matic. Ambroz Matic taught Latin and mathematics in Kraljeva Sutjeska and, for teaching purposes, he compiled an arithmetic and a Latin grammar textbook written in Croatian. The paper studies the content concept of Knjixica as pragmatic amendments to Marijanovic's Latin grammar. The Croatian text analyzes the spelling and grammatical terminology while it singles out some translational lexical solutions that did not take remain in the Croatian language.
