Originally published in German under the title:’ Das Dalmatische’. Vienna : A. Höler, 1906. Matteo Giulio Bartoli (born Nov. 22, 1873, Albona d’Istria, Austria-Hungary [now Labin, Croatia]—died Jan. 23, 1946, Turin, Italy) was a linguist who emphasised the geographic spread of linguistic changes and their interpretation in terms of history and culture. In an important early study, Das Dalmatische (1906; “Dalmatian”), he documented and analysed the now-extinct Romance dialect of the Adriatic island of Veglia (Krk).
