Glagolitic codices
Glagolitic codices are ancient books written in the Glagolitic script, the oldest known Slavic alphabet, created in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius. These codices, primarily religious texts, played a crucial role in spreading Christianity and literacy among the Slavic peoples. The script is distinctive for its ornate and complex characters. Glagolitic codices are significant for understanding early Slavic culture, language, and history, and they highlight the importance of preserving religious and cultural heritage during a time of conversion and social change in Eastern Europe.
