Croatian OmniScriptum Croatian Literature: Croatian Language, Old Church Slavonic, Bosnian Cyrillic, Ivo Andri¿, Valun Tablet, Viktor Car Emin

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Croatian literature is a definition given to the compilation of novels, short stories, poems and other various work of written kind entirely attributed to the medieval and modern culture of the Croats and the Croatian language. The medieval prose was written in two languages; the Old Church Slavonic, which later evolved into Bulgarian, and Latin. It used three alphabets; the Latin alphabet, the Glagolitic alphabet and the Bosan¿ica (Bosnian Cyrillic). The oldest examples date as far as back to the 9th and 11th century and are concluded as the early backbones of the Croatian literature. Ba¿ka tablet (Glagolithic letters), often regarded as a birth certificate of the Croatian language, shows post-pointed recension of the old Slavic dialect and is also the first mention of the Croats in the Croatian Language. The inscribed stone slab records King Zvonimir's donation of a piece of land to a Benedictine abbey in the time of abbot Drzhiha. It provides the only example of transition from Glagolitic of the rounded Macedonian type to the angular Croatian alphabet.
