Summary/Abstract: In order to show the influence Dobrovský’s Institutiones... had on the contemporary grammars of the time, it was necessary for the author of this study to define the type of Church Slavic described in the book. As the first part of the Institutiones... is a comparative study of the Slavic languages he focusses on the grammar proper. The analysis shows that Dobrovský describes an older type of Church Slavic present in the first printings and used especially in Ukrainian typographies. The influence is manifest in all Church Slavic grammars published in the 19th century in Austria or Hungary with the exception of Eumén Szabó’s grammar (in the works of Tirol, Zaharijadis, Lutskay, Joannovics and Dobrjanskij). The Serbian authors (Tirol, Zaharijadis, Joannovics), describing the Russian recension of Church Slavic, have been less influenced.
