Glagolitic inscriptions

Glagolitic inscriptions are ancient markings carved or written on surfaces, created with the Glagolitic alphabet—one of the earliest Slavic scripts developed in the 9th century. These inscriptions served religious, ceremonial, or commemorative purposes, often found on stone monuments, church walls, or medieval manuscripts. They provide valuable insights into early Slavic literacy, culture, and Christianization efforts. While many inscriptions are worn or fragmentary, they help historians understand language development and regional history, preserving the spiritual and societal expressions of early Slavic communities.
