The Baška Tablet, Jurandvor, the island of Krk, Church of St. Lucy, c. 1000

One of the most significant Glagolitic inscriptions, an important source of the history of development of the Glagolitic script as well as of
national historiography and philology. It was written in a transition form between round and angular Glagolitic, in the common language of the
people (Chakavian). The text on the tablet records King Zvonimir’s donation of a piece of land to St. Lucy Abbey. This is the first mention of the
name of a Croatian king – the name of Zvonimir.
