Summary/Abstract: Proper names are among oldest language monuments. Divković’s work represents a suitable corpus for onomastic research since, being a part of Franciscan production, it had its share in the process of standardization of the Croatian language to the Stokavian base. Since the texts of the Divković’s work are mostly translational and compilatory, proper names – mostly hagionym – are elaborated from the language –in- contact point of view, while the foreign name, that is a Croatianized name, is called a model, i.e. a replica. The analysis results demonstrate limitation in the adjustment of foreign names while an advance towards writer’s freedom diverts to the possibility of adopting Italian reading in phonological adjustment of proper names.
