Abstract

In this paper the author analyses the stylistic features of the texts written on the island of Silba between 1613 to 1808. All the texts are written in an administrative, functional style except for a booklet titled Libar, which is written in a literary style typical of rhetorical texts. The author concludes that the style of these Croatian pre-revival documents was conditioned by their purpose, which naturally accounts for the stylistic characteristics of each of the texts.He also notices that there is a mixture of different styles within the same document, which may be explained by the fact that the information was not entered in a uniformed pre-set pattern, so the clerks unconsciously made some of their own personal observations. And this is what makes these documents unique and so different.
