Abstract
The Pula fragment of the 15th century Glagolitic Missal
The newly discovered Glagolitic fragment is a part of another typical but lost Croatian Glagolitic Missal. The fragment has the mass on Saturday after the fourth Sunday of Lent with beautiful Biblical readings form Is 49:8-15 and Jn 8:12-20 and other appropriate prayers and parts of Psalms as well as the begining of the mass on Passion Sunday. The language and paleography indicate that this text is from the 15th century. Reconstruction of bifolia shows the original dimension of the Missal: 20.5 cm x 27 cm. The fragment was a cover to an unknown booklet. Its dimensions are also reconstructed: 9,5 cm x 17 cm. Paleography and codicology analyses reveal a skillful and knowledgable scribe of the established scriptorium in Grobnik where the priest Martinac of Lapac wrote the Second Novi Breviary in 1495. The transliteration of the Glagolitic text and the Latin parallel text are provided. An index of all word occurrences in the fragment is given in alphabetical order for further lexical studies.
