Branimir's Glagolitic inscription

Branimir's Glagolitic inscription is a medieval script carved into a stone, dating from the 9th or 10th century, associated with the Croatian ruler Branimir. It uses the Glagolitic alphabet—the oldest known Slavic script—to record a message or dedication. This inscription is significant because it reflects early Slavic literacy and Christian influence in the region, serving as an important artifact for understanding the development of Slavic writing, culture, and religion in medieval Croatia. Its presence demonstrates the spread of literacy and the use of the Glagolitic script in official and religious contexts.
