The paper addresses the dialectological work of the academician Petar Šimunović (published works and unpublished manuscripts), primarily his works on the dialects of Central Dalmatian islands and dialects in the Buzet region, as well as his lexicographic contributions to the Croatian and Slavic studies. We conclude that his analyzed works, to present date, contain the most systematically collected and processed data on these dialectological points.
