Croatian terminology has a long and rich history that can be traced back even to the end of the 13th century and the appearance of the first legal texts containing administrative and legal concepts from this period. The origins of modern terminology work in the Croatian language, however, have to be dated to a later period in history, i.e. to 1849, and regulations issued by the Austrian Empire stating that all legislation had to be translated from German into the national languages of the empire, of which Croatian was one. As is the case with many languages, legal terminology was the first instance of domain-specific vocabulary created in the Croatian language. Arising from the need to use one’s own language in various domains, the first case of terminology planning was led by Bogoslav Šulek, often referred to as “the father of Croatian terminology,” who was called in 1848 to work on the development of the Croatian terminology that was to replace Latin as the dominant language. Šulek’s revolutionary work resulted in his highly influential two-volume dictionary, Hrvatsko-njemačko-talijanski rječnik znanstvenoga nazivlja [Croatian-German-Italian Dictionary of Scientific Terms], which was published in 1874 and 1875 (Šulek 1874–1875).
