Glagolitic manuscript

The Glagolitic manuscript refers to texts written in Glagolitic script, the oldest known Slavic alphabet, created in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius. This script was used to translate religious works into Old Church Slavonic, making Christianity accessible to Slavic peoples. The manuscripts, often religious in nature, feature unique characters designed to represent sounds in the Slavic language. Although less commonly used today, Glagolitic remains significant for its role in Slavic literacy and culture, contributing to the development of later Slavic scripts, including Cyrillic.
