Breviarum Glagoliticum

Breviarum Glagoliticum (Glagolitic Breviary, Glagoljski brevijar) is a manuscript breviary from the early 15th century that is kept at the National and University Library in Zagreb. It consists of 183 leaves, measuring 32 cm by 20 cm and featuring text structured in two columns and 29 lines.  The initials are drawn in red and decorated by the Early Croatian three-strand pattern and floral motifs. Some of them depict saints, such as the one portraying St. Jerome holding a church in his hand, and the one picturing St. Catherine. At the end of the breviary’s text there is a barely legible note written in cursive Glagolitic. Digitized copy is available on the portal of the Digital Collections of the National and University Library in Zagreb.
