1911), a language advisory book characterized by the departure from lexical normativisms advocated by Croatian Vukovians. Andrić also gave a valuable contribution to lexicography in Šta je šta ("What's what", 1938, together with Iso Velikanović) – the first picture dictionary of Croatian. At the invitation of the President of Matica hrvatska Tadija Smičiklas in 1894, he edited and published six books of Croatian folk songs, followed by a treatise on the motifs, language and ethos in Croatian folk poetry. Of 603 works published by Zabavna biblioteka he personally translated more than 60 novels and short stories, as well as the same number of dramas – mostly from French, German and Russian. Critics have called Andrić a polyglot and erudite whose literary-historical and essayistic work surpassed his fictional works.
