For the past 50—60 years the paleoslavonic lexicography has made a great progress and has gradually established itself as an independent specialized lexicographic discipline in the field of diachronic lexicography. The progressive development in this field is observed from the second half of the 19th century starting with the Miklošić’s lexicon. Emphasis is on the development of the paleoslavonic lexicography in the 20th century, especially in its second half when the work is coordinated towards realization of several great projects: lexicographic processing of the oldest preserved Old Slavonic manuscripts, making a big Old Church Slavonic dictionary and a new Church Slavonic dictionary. The study gives a brief overview of the accomplished achievements, especially the dictionary of the so called canonic Old Church Slavonic texts from the 10th and 11th century. A special emphasis is put on the importance and contribution of the four volume Dictionary of Old Church Slavonic language for the development of the paleoslavonic lexicography. Furthermore, the situation on the work of the Church Slavonic dictionaries of different recensions is presented. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of further work in this field.

Paleoslavistička leksikografija u zadnjih šezdesetak godina bilježi značajan razvoj i postupno se konstituira kao samostalna specijalizirana disciplina u okviru dijakronijske leksikografije. Ističe se razvoj paleoslavističke leksikografije u 20. stoljeću, osobito u njegovoj drugoj polovici. Rad se na ovom području usmjerava na realizaciju nekoliko važnih projekata. To je leksikografska obrada najstarijih staroslavenskih rukopisa, izrada velikoga rječnika staroslavenskoga jezika i novoga rječnika crkvenoslavenskoga jezika. U tekstu je naglašeno značenje četverosveščanoga Rječnika staroslavenskoga jezika za razvoj paleoslavističke leksikografije, a zatim se govori o suvremenome stanju radova na ovom području.
