The lexicographical works of Štefan Kociančič (1818-1883) comprise two manuscript volumes of glossaries with Macedonian and Bulgarian words, composed as a preparation for the translation of traditional folk songs from the Anthology of the Miladinov Brothers (published in Zagreb in 1861), which was also completed by Kociančič. In this article, the cultural and historical role of Kociančič's manuscripts in South Slavic cultural connections will be highlighted.
