Summary/Abstract: This research is based exclusively on data from manuscripts and Lovretić’s autobiography. It is an addition to previous studies about Lovretić by Balentović and Lechner; it confirms their results, systematizes the life and work of Lovretić, and presents him as a precursor of Croatian ethnology. Lovretić did not merely collect data and systematize it according to a ready-made pattern; rather, he advanced his own conception of writing which — as is documented in certain archives — helped Antun Radić, the founder of Croatian ethnology, to construct his Osnova (Notes and Queries...) for collection and study of materials on folk life.
