Abstract

Bishop Antun Mahnić (1850-1920) was born in Slovenia and was appointed the Bishop of Krk in 1896. Initially, he thought of himself as an opponent of the Glagolitic script, but through a thorough study of church documents and papal bulls, he recognised the legitimacy of Old Church Slavonic liturgy. In 1902, he founded the Old Church Slavonic Academy (Academia Palaeoslavica Veglensis) – the third scientific institution in the South Slavic region. By 1927, the Academy had published twenty-seven titles, educated priests in the Old Church Slavonic language, and preserved the Glagolitic tradition. Mahnić also founded the Kurykta printing house back in 1899 as a media instrument for spreading conservative Catholic values.
