Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses Jonke’s research and professional work in the field of lexicography pointing out the most important contributions. Although lexicographic activity was not the primary research and professional interest of Ljudevit Jonke, he left a number of remarkable contributions in the field. Jonke’s lexicographic activity can be divided in two periods. In the first period, during and shortly after the Second World War, he wrote a major study on Patačić’s dictionary and contributed to Hrvatska enciklopedija with large number of lexicographic entries. In the second period, from the middle of the fiftieth to the beginning of the seventieth years of the last century, he wrote about actual achievements of the Croatian lexicography and contributed to Enciklopedija Jugoslavije with lexicographic entries.
