Sažetak
The oldest datum on the Glagolitic activity in the Šibenik area refers to the first half of 13th century. The first preserved Glagolitic documents from this area are the 14th century clippings from Prvić, one of them maybe from 13th century. In 17th century a large number of priests saying mass from Glagolitic missals were active, so that the largest number of preserved Glagolitic documents derive from that period. In Šibenik’s Varoš a Roman-Catholic seminary was founded by I. T. Mrnavić, its headmaster, for training Glagolitic priests.
The present researches into the Šibenik Glagolitic scripts have registered 350 preserved documents of different contents from registers and anagraphs to testaments and non-clerical letters.
It seems that the focus of the Glagolitic activities was at Prvić-Luka, where the Franciscan friers (Tertiaries) were active since old times. From 17th century a Glagolitic tombstone is preserved along with two records in stone of less importance, one of which (lintel) originates from 1563.
The last Glagolitic record on the Šibenik territory is kept in the Rogoznica church. On a stone column close to the main altar a commemorative note is chiselled in saying that in the year of our Lord 1894 the northern aisle was constructed. The beauty of these angular Glagolitic characters of this record seems to eternalize the singnificance of the folk speech and folk writing on the territory of Šibenik.
