Abstract
A fragment of a stone tablet with an inscription in the Cyrillic script called Bosančica was found at the cemetery of St. John in Livno, which is now part of the archaeological collection of the Franciscan Museum and the Gorica-Livno Gallery. The tablet is broken off on the left side (the beginnings of the verses of the inscription) and a large part on the right side (the ends of the three verses of text), while the preserved part of the inscription is so damaged that it is impossible to read it unequivocally. Therefore, the sole option is to read what can be read and to try, at least partially, to interpret and decipher the destroyed parts of the text. Most likely, the text is about the medieval noble Duke Vlatko Kovačić (14th to beginning of the 15th century) from Livno.
