Croatian Jesuit and the most famous 17th' century Croatian writer in the Croatian Kajkavian dialect Juraj Habdelich authors the small but very popular Croatian-Latin bilingual Dictionar ili Réchi SzlovenOzke (Dictionary or Croatian Words) published in Graz in 1670. The term SzlovenOzki relates to the Kajkavian dialect of the Croatian language, but author dedicates the book to the scholarly youth of the Croatian (literally Horvatſzkoga) and Slovenian (Szlovenſzkoga) nation, because at that time both languages were very close. The dictionary consists of 11326 entries, and has been completely transcribed into the digital text and related database as well as into the standard resolution black and white digital photographs.

Bartol Kašić. Manuscript without a title (Croatian (Cakavic) - Italian dictionary). Rome, 1599.
Although not undersigned, there is a strong scientific evidence that this manuscript was written in Rome, around 1600, by Croatian Jesuit Bartol Kašic who prepared this dictionary as a supplement for Croatian language learning to his Croatian grammar, published in 1604.(Institutiones linguae illyricae, Rome 1604.). Although it remained in the manuscript form, it was also scientifically proved that this dictionary was used as a basis for preparation of Croatian first bigger dictionary with the left Croatian side, the Thesaurus of the Croatian language or the Dictionary published by Italian Jacobi Micalia in Loretto and Ancona 1649-1651. The dictionary consists of 3613 entries and the digitized text is made searchable as well as browsable.
