Macedonian Language in Dictionaries of 16 and 17 century Hieronimus Megiser

[George S.]

can you just look at the book like a reference ?It may not mention Macedonia more than we think.?Can we get only the pages that it mentions Macedonia digitised only?THis nook looks like it can be gotten only at a uni or national library.Either way its a great find.The thousands of euros quoted is a bit excessive ,Perhaps if we can access it in its digitised value.Just an access.As getting a copy is too cost prohibitive.

The book is made free now and digitalized. It is not the same book as the one mentioned in the introductory post (the mentioning of Macedonian is not in the 2 dictionaries i was looking for, but in this book), but both are available now in digital format and it is free to use for research. I will try to find the link and post it here. And i think Macedonian is mentioned only once in the book.

ramo so ramo that's it we got the kolo ,well done ramo you've settled that one nicely.We'll go for the digitised one.Thanks if you can find the link.

[Sovius]

One small step for Macedonia. One giant faceplant for Greece.

[Risto the Great]

Wow, I wonder how many Greeks can understand that.

Not just Greece. Bulgaria also. They also have funny theories about the language.


This is the digital version of the book.

ramo the language of the Macedonians was ;is Macedonian.The greeks tried to alter our standing by the use of derogarotory terms,same as the Bulgarians.Use of deniability etc.

[Daskalot]

Here is the page from the book from 1603 . Macedonian is listed as language.

Ramo thank you for sharing this. And thank you for not letting this be forgotten, and kept going forward with this until you had results to share. Bravo to your determination and persistence.

[Soldier of Macedon]

Ramo thank you for sharing this. And thank you for not letting this be forgotten, and kept going forward with this until you had results to share. Bravo to your determination and persistence.

Indeed, well done to Ramo for his persistence with this source, it was certainly worth it given the clear reference to our language as Macedonian as early as 1603.
