Baška Tablet
The Baška Tablet is a significant historical artifact discovered in 1851 on the island of Krk in Croatia. It is a stone inscription dating back to the 11th century, written in the Glagolitic script, which is one of the oldest known Slavic alphabets. The tablet is considered one of the earliest examples of written Croatian language and provides valuable insights into the cultural and linguistic development of the region.
The inscription on the Baška Tablet commemorates the construction of a church dedicated to St. Lucy and is believed to have been created by a priest named Vinodol. This artifact is crucial for understanding the history of the Croatian language and the spread of Christianity in the area. Today, it is housed in the Church of St. Lucy in Baška, where it continues to attract scholars and tourists alike.
