Josip Voltiggi

Josip Voltiggi

Josip Voltiggi or Josip Voltić (1750 - 1825) was a linguist from Istria.

In 1803, he published his "Grammatica illirica", in "Ricoslovnik illiricskoga, italianskoga i nimacskoga jezika s’ jednom pridpostavljenomm grammatikom illi pismenstvom: sve ovo sabrano i sloxeno od Jose Voltiggi Istranina" (A dictionary of the Illyrian, Italian and German languages with a grammar and orthography), in Vienna.

Because of his Pan-Slavic views, he was subject to harassment from the Austrian police. He died in a hospital and in great poverty (najvećoj bedi).
