This paper analyzes the language described in the grammar of Ardelio Della Bella in relation to the language of one of the books on which he based his grammatical description – Suze sina razmetnoga by Ivan Gundulić. The research is based on the nominal forms in both works. Similarities and differences are commented for each of the declensions, systematically for all cases. It is very important to distinguish real and apparent differences, since some of them are influenced by the form of Della Bella’s literary model.
