Ivan Belostenec
Edit Profile
Career
In 1616 he joined the Paulists. Belostenec was a prior of Pauline monasteries in Lepoglava, Svetice at Ozalj and Sveta Jelena at Čakovec, and also a visitator (lat) in Istria. Belostenec wrote poems (which are lost) and sermons (Ten Commandments About The Eucharist, 1672).
His main work was a bilingual dictionary Gazophylacium, seu Latino-illyiricorum onomatum aerarium (Gazophylacium or Illyrian-Latin treasury of words.
The other copy of the book has the name Gazophylacium illyrico-latinum). The work remained unfinished.
Gazophylacium was finished and prepared for publication by two Paulists - Jerolim Orlović and Andrija Mužar, it was published in Zagreb 1740.
Membership
Except for its richness of words, (about 40,000 words on 2,000 pages of text) Gazophylacium is also important for its trilingual concept (kajkavian-chakavian-shtokavian) characteristic for the members of the Ozalj literary-linguistic circle.
