Baška tablet
The Baška tablet is a significant historical artifact discovered in 1851 on the island of Krk, Croatia. It is a stone inscription dating back to the early 12th century and is written in the Glagolitic script, which was used by the Slavic peoples. The tablet is considered one of the oldest monuments of Croatian literacy and is important for understanding the development of the Croatian language and culture.
The inscription on the Baška tablet commemorates the construction of a church dedicated to St. Lucy in the village of Baška. It provides valuable insights into the early Christian history of the region and reflects the influence of the Roman Catholic Church in Croatia during that period. The tablet is now housed in the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb.
