A survey of glagolithic documents from the Pazin region

Abstract

The Author presents a survey of Glagolithic documents written on parchment and paper (not including stone monuments and graffiti). The term »Pazin region« used in the title denotes a wider area than the historical Pazin County or than the ex Commune of Pazin; it includes, e.g., Kožljak, Veprinac and Mošcenice). The survey starts with the »Pazin Fragments« from the beginning of the 14th century (they contain apocryphs, legends, homilies), and continues with documents of archivistic significance (e.g. the »Istarski razvod«, which is an international diplomatic document, the notarial protocol of Andrija Matković from Draguć, wills and selling contracts which have survived as single copies of notarial books, registers of births, marriages and deaths, private letters, minutes of rural communities). He discusses their significance, but also gives the place of keeping for every single document, with the history of their edition and the bibliography.
