The aim of this thesis is to analyze the Croatian folk calendar Danica Zagrebečka (1834. ‒ 1850.) by Ignac Kristijanović (1796. – 1884.) with a particular focus on the analysis and classification of ethnological and literary content in Danica Zagrebečka. In the introductory part of the work, the socio-cultural context of the development of folk calendars is set, and then the Kajkavian folk calendar Danica Zagrebečka is described. Folk calendars played a significant role in the enlightenment and literacy of the people. The reading provided in the folk calendars was adapted to the folk, their needs, experiential-cognitive possibilities, and aesthetic requirements. On the pages of Danica Zagrebečka, in addition to a calendar and an educational section that provides practical advice, we can also find a variety of literary readings, such as oral poems, proverbs, and riddles, translations and adaptations of Aesop's fables, anecdotal stories, short stories, folk songs, etc. The ethnological section includes an analysis of the calendar and the educational part in which practical advice was given (instructions related to the rural economy, interpretation of the weather, health and hygiene advice, and nutrition). Emphasis was placed on Kristijanović's activity, connection with the folk, and an attempt was made to answer the question: How did he incorporate the people's everyday life into Danica zagrebečka? The Literary section includes textual analysis of literary content in Danica (oral poems, proverbs and riddles, translations and adaptations of Aesop's fables, anecdotal stories, short stories, etc.) and their genre classification. An attempt was made to answer the following questions: What literary contents does Kristijanović import into the folk calendar? In what relationship were the selected literary texts with the assumed recipients? How does Kristijanović deliver certain authors' works, and how does he adapt them to the recipients?
