Joakim Stulić

Then he moved to Rome, where he studied theology at the central Franciscan site of learning in the Aracoeli monastery for three years.

Stulić returned to Dubrovnik and started his lexicographic work around 1760, which would last for half a century, until 1810.

Stulli started looking for new material and a suitable printing press in the early 1770s, when he visited Rome, Venice and Vienna in 1772 and 1773.

The second part came out four years later (1805) in Dubrovnik (Rjecsosloxje u komu donosuse upotrebljenia, uredna, mucsnia istieh jezika krasnoslovja nacsini, izgovaranja i prorjecsja).

Stulić's dictionary is the largest work of older Croatian lexicography (more than 4,700 pages and around 80,000 words).
