Croatian Glagolitic manuscripts

Croatian Glagolitic manuscripts are handwritten documents created using the ancient Glagolitic script, the earliest known Slavic alphabet developed in the 9th century. In Croatia, this script was uniquely preserved and widely used from the 12th to 18th centuries for religious texts, legal documents, and liturgical writings. These manuscripts are valuable for understanding Slavic language, culture, and Christianity's spread in the region. They often feature beautifully decorated initials and are considered cultural treasures, reflecting Croatia's rich medieval history and its role in early Slavic literacy and religious life.
