Abstract
The author has discovered a few archiv documents in Archivio di Stato in Venice which relate to the preparation and printing of the Glagolitic Missal of 1528 known as Pavao Modrušanin's Missal. On the basis of these newly discovered documents he concludes that Bartolomeo Zanetti "da Bressa" was editor (publisher) of the Missal and that he has made a contract for the printing of 1000 copies of "officietti schiavoni". After the work on the Missal was completed B. Zanetti worked in Rijeka with Šimun Kožičić Benja on the printing of Glagolitic books. From these documents it is obvious that the Glagolitic Missal of 1528 was ordered by father Bernard of Dubrovnik "Raguseo" and Ivan Bokina, the late Bartol, a nobleman from Cres and the inhabitant of Venice.
The Missal was ordered in a few hundred copies and a part of the edition was completed by the beginning of August 1528.
