Vernakulární elementy v textu knihy Genesis v chorvatskocírkevněslovanských středověkých breviářích
Vernacular Elements in the Text of the Book of Genesis in the Croatian Church Slavonic Breviaries

Summary/Abstract: On selected parts of the text of the Book of Genesis in Croatian Glagolitic breviaries of the 14th and 15th centuries, we will try to show that the language of these texts is not uniform, that it cannot be characterized as Church Slavonic language in all cases, and that even in the language of the biblical text we can find various elements of the vernacular language, i.e. Old Croatian. That’s why the language of the biblical texts in the Croatian Glagolitic breviaries can be used in some segments for the research of Old Croatian, although the professional literature mostly claims the opposite, referring to the fact that the language of the biblical text is only conservative Old Church Slavonic.
