Abstract
The lexicographical production of Giovanni Tanzlingher Zanotti is at present known from four extant manuscripts, out of which the Zadar ms. lacks a date. Some formal characteristics put the Zadar ms. closer to the Zagreb ms. while distinguishing it from the Padua ms. The relation between the versions contained in the Zagreb and Zadar mss. is therefore analysed here. We will concentrate mainly on numerical and formal criteria, in order to minimize the risk of interpreting the contents of the two versions. Only when the proposed method will have produced a result it will be possible to interpret the differences and similarities between the two versions as a reflex of changing attitudes of the author toward his lexicographical endeavour.
