Breviary of Dabar

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Breviary of Dabar is a book of the hours of prayer from 1486 , which is written in Glagolitic-Croatian handwriting. With the permission of Pope Innocent IV , from 1248 the churches in northwestern Croatia were the only ones within the Latin Church to use the Church Slavonic with Glagolitic script, which had already been established there, as the liturgical language without restrictions instead of Latin . This permission was formally first given to Bishop Philip of Senj.

The Dabar breviary was found in the Franco-pan fortress Dabar near Otočac in the Lika region (Croatia). It consists of 306 pages of parchment paper and was written by "pop Stipan" (Pastor Stefan). Along with the Glagoljica (more precisely: the Bašćanska ploča), the Baška tablet, this work is one of the most important medieval Glagolitic prayer books.

In addition to the usual mass prayers, there are also various entries, such as attacks by Ottoman soldiers or the names of debtors of that time.
