Summary/Abstract: Recently, there was in Košice, Slovakia, in the Archive of the Center for East-West spirituality M. Lacko (Archív Centra spirituality Východ-Západ M. Lacka), found parchment written in angular Croatian Glagolitic. By further investigation, we found out that it is a text in Old Czech written by angular Croatian glagolitic originally from the Prague monastery Na Slovanech, where such manuscripts used to be created in the last quarter of the 14th cent. and the first quarter of the 15th century. The aim of this paper is to describe the fragment, check its content and to place it among the other known manuscripts of this type.
