A Contribution to the Istrian Archival Glagolitic Heritage (The Glagolitic Alphabet at the State Archives in Pazin and the Parish Office of Beram)

Abstract

This paper is primarily based on the newly discovered particle of the Glagolitic written heritage of central Istria - a fragment of the Glagolitic record from the Register of Marriages of Muntrilj, found in 2014 during the arrangement of the archives of the Parish Office of Beram. The first part of the paper provides a concise overview of the Glagolitic documents held in the State Archives in Pazin to give insight into the breadth and richness of the preserved Glagolitic material. In the second part the authors report on their archival fieldwork as well as on the transliteration of the found fragment.
