SENJ GLAGOLITIC STONE TABLET

ANTE GLAVIČIĆ

Abstract

The author reports about the Senj glagolitic stone tablet finds, whose fragments were found in secondary use while the Nehaj fortress gate was under restoration in 1965. It was established by reconstruction that those fragments belonged to the upper left part of the alter stone partition-wall (pluteus). In view of the fact that its construction, decoration and letter ducts bear complete resemblance to the famous Baška stone tablet, it was so dated back to the period around the year 1100. It is likewise supposed that Senj glagolitic tablet was the part of St. George chapel, whose basal finds were discovered in the ground-floor of Nehaj fortress. Accordingly, it is further disserted upon some other questions linked to the topography of medieval Senj. There is also an abridged report on Nehaj fortress restoration, which has heen duly reconstructed and adjusted as a Museum of Senj Uskoks.
