In 2019, a previously unknown Vegliote manuscript written by Marcantonio Impastari was discovered by chance in the Biblioteca Civica in Trieste. The manuscript was composed between 1892 and 1897 and mainly consists of already known linguistic material, primarily that published by Antonio Ive in the article L’antico dialetto di Veglia (1886). In addition, it also contains new material and/or variations of already known materials, as well as a list edited by Impastari of presumed Vegliotisms in the Venetian dialect of the island of Veglia (modern Krk in Croatia). Since Impastari not only copied Ive’s article but also included unknown material in his manuscript, the present contribution provides, in addition to a critical publication of the manuscript, also an analysis of his method of processing his sources. At the same time, using the etymological method, the presumed Vegliotisms in the Venetian dialect of Veglia are examined. The manuscript is undoubtedly of utmost interest to Vegliote language studies.
