Abstract: The study deals with the dictionaries and lexicographic work of Josef Franta Šumavský, a Czech patriot of the first half of the 19th century. Dictionaries had their specific place in the axiological hierarchy of Czech patriots – they became the means for the formation of a modern Czech world in the functioning German-speaking culture in the Czech lands. J. Franta Šumavský began as a copyist of Jungmann’s Slovník česko-německý [Czech-German Dictionary]. From the Jungmann brothers, he obtained material for Slovník německo-český [German-Czech Dictionary], after which he compiled his own Slovník česko-německý [Czech-German Dictionary]. For the rest of his life, he tried to publish Všeslovanský slovník [All-Slavic Dictionary], the pinnacle as well as the utopia of the patriotic world of the 1850s.
