M. Daukša’s spelling principles: on the problem of relative chronology of <i>Postilla</i> and <i>Cathecism</i>
In the article, the spelling variance of M. Daukša’s Postilla and Cathecism is statistically analyzed. The stability of basic rules is demonstrated, but a greater diversity in secondary features allows to conjecture “Cathechism” to be written (and not just published) earlier than “Postilla”. There is evidence in spelling pecularieties that “Postilla” was indeed published in two stages.
