The price and prestige of the 15th century Glagolitic books
The author investigates the 15th century Croato-Glagolitic codices, primarly missals and breviaries. He is specially interested in their financial value and tries to determine their average price from contemporary documents. He stresses the fact that in the 15th century manuscript the Glagolitic codices were greatly appreciated especially by the clergy. He mentions some well-known scribes from that period and follows the fate of certain famous glagolitic books. On the bases of numerous examples the author concludes that the average price of a Croato-Glagolitic codex was 21 ducats, approximately the same as the price of Latin codices of that time. Hence, in the 15th century Glagolitic books had the same value and price as contemporary Latin books.
