The Glagolitic alphabet or Glagolitsa (in Russian and Bulgarian , Serbian : is the oldest Slavic alphabet. It was established in Great Moravia by St. Cyril.
Summary |
The Slavic alphabet was introduced into the kingdom of Great Moravia in the ninth century by Saints Cyril and Methodius for the purpose of evangelizing the people of Great Moravia, but was also used for the evangelization of the Balkans. It takes its name from the old Slavic word meaning glagoljati "talk." It is found in Croatia , in Bulgaria and even to Montenegro. It was banned by the pope and disappeared almost completely in the tenth century.
In 1248 , the Bishop of Senj , however, was authorized by Pope Innocent IV to use the old-Slavic Glagolitic alphabet and the liturgy. A number of stelae written in Glagolitic the eleventh century , whose Baka stele and the stele Valun , probably older and less wealthy, but written in two languages and two scripts (Old Slavic Glagolitic and Latin) and many missals including some incunabula , actually prove the persistence of this writing in the liturgy of Croatia until the eighteenth century. The Glagolitic gave birth to the Cyrillic alphabet developed by the disciples of Cyril.
