	Ancient Scripts: Glagolitic
		The students of St. Cyril might have found Glagolitic "undignified and unsuitable for ecclesiastical use" (Hersey) because of its cursive shapes, and derived Cyrillic from an already liturgical script.
		In Croatia, though, it continued to be in use until the 19th century in church.
		The Croatian Glagolitic is quite similar in to Old Church Slavonic Glagolitic, but it has less letters and the shape of its characters are much more rectangular.

		Glagolitic singing is unique due to the position of Glagolitism in the organization of the Western Church as well as the cultural tradition of three languages (Old Church Slavonic, Latin, Croatian) and three scripts (Glagolitic, Croatian Cyrillic and Latin).
		Glagolitic singing lasted parallel with the Latin tradition: from the 9th to the 17th centuries in the narrower sense, and up to the 20th century in wider terms.
		Today Glagolitic chant is studied on the basis of documents (the most important dating from 1248 and 1252), liturgical roles in rubrics, rare note records, but mostly sound recordings and transcriptions (mgt.

		Although the Latin holds the chief place among the liturgical languages in which the Mass is celebrated and the praise of God recited in the Divine Offices, yet the Slavonic language comes next to it among the languages widely used throughout the world in the liturgy of the Church.
		This older alphabet, which still survives, is called the Glagolitic (from glagolati, to speak, because the rude tribesmen imagined that the letters spoke to the reader and told him what to say), and was used by the southern Slavic tribes and now exists along the Adriatic highlands.
		The Slavonic which is written in the Glagolitic characters is also the ancient language, but it differs considerably from the Slavonic written in the Cyrillic letters.

	CROATIAN GLAGOLITIC SCRIPT (Site not responding. Last check: )
		After that period, the Glagolitic script on the entire area of that Slavic corpus east of, roughly speaking, rivers Krka and Vrbas was replaced by the Cyrillic script (present at least since the 11th century), with very rare Glagolitic "excursions" further to the east.
		On the western pole, the regions of Istria, Kvarner, Lika, northern Dalmatia, Glagolitism was also present from the earliest times (11th, 12th century: The Plomin Tablet, the Valun Tablet, the Krk island inscrption, the Baška tablet?), but for all that it is precisely in the beginning of the 13th century that Glagolitism experienced vigorous momentum.
		In segments, this type of Glagolitic script will continue to develop until the 16th century, but as early as in the mid-13th century the eye of the average reader will no longer be able to distinguish the differences in the script between certain fragments.

		The corpus of Glagolitic manuscripts and documents is a unique collection of manuscripts, legal texts and documents, literary works and records, written in Glagolitic script and Croatian and Old Slavonic languages.
		Thousands of manuscripts and records preserved are only a part of the rich Glagolitic tradition, flourishing between the 11th and 19th centuries in Southern and Central Europe, mostly in Croatia, where a specific angular type of the script was developed.
		The existing Glagolitic corpus is essential to an understanding of cultural and spiritual processes and interactions in medieval society, and of the formation of distinct national cultural traditions, rooted in a common heritage.

		Glagolitic script was used by Roman Catholic Slavs, while the Cyrillic alphabet was used by Eastern Orthodox Slavs; and although the origin of Glagolitic is not clear, it is probably closely related to the Cyrillic alphabet.
		Slavic tradition is generally inconsistent as to which script to attribute to the Eastern Orthodox “apostle to the Slavs,” St. Cyril (or Constantine).
		Although dissimilar to Cyrillic in letter form, Glagolitic had approximately the same number of letters as Cyrillic and identical sound values for the letters; this implies a common origin for the two systems.

		The relationship between the origins of Glagolitic and Cyrillic is unknown, though St. Cyril is said to have had a hand in both.
		In the encoding, Glagolitic is treated as a separate script from Cyrillic, principally because the letter shapes are in most cases totally unrelated, with differences not at all arising from "mere font style".
		Glagolitic itself is seen in two slightly different styles, called the Bulgarian-Macedonian and Croatian.
