The language of the Glagolitic Primer by Juraj from Slavonia

Dragica Malić ; Institut za hrvatski jezik i jezikoslovlje, Zagreb

Abstract

The author analyses language characteristics of the first known Glagolitic Primer that has been recorded in the Latin manuscript codex of the end of the 14th century by the professor of the Sorbonne (Paris) Juraj of Slavonia (Georgius de Sclavonia, Georges d 'Esclavnie). The primer contains the Glagolitic alphabet with the names and numerical value of the letters as well as the most important Christian prayers. All texts have been transcribed in the French Latin script of the time. The prayers are written in a typical Croatian Church Slavonic recension and some obvious traits of the Čakavian substrate. Other records by Juraj in this codex point to its non-Čakavian origin.
