Abstract

The authors establish the possible root of origin of the Glagolitic alphabet form a symbolic point of view. Using a multidisciplinary approach the authors connect the apparently unrealated concepts as the proto-elements, alchemy and script, fusing them as one analytical model. Takin into consideration the cultural-historical heritage of all Slavic nations, including Croatians as well, they expalin the work of Konstantin Ciril in an intracultural sense. In this way, Glagolitsa is presented as the spiritual entity trasfused into the material – the letter.
