Glagolitic monuments

Glagolitic monuments are historical artifacts or sites that feature the Glagolitic script, the oldest known Slavic alphabet developed in the 9th century. These monuments include inscriptions, stone markers, and churches where the script was used for religious texts and record-keeping. They are significant for understanding early Slavic literacy, culture, and Christianity’s spread in Eastern Europe. Preserved monuments provide insights into medieval society and demonstrate the importance of written language in cultural identity and religious practice. Their study helps us appreciate the linguistic and historical roots of Slavic peoples.
