Biskupova pisma Vatroslavu Jagiću (1886. – 1901.)
Bishop's Letters to Vatroslav Jagić (1886. – 1901.)

Summary/Abstract: Of the 13,553 letters sent to Vatroslav Jagić and which are stored in the National and University Library in Zagreb, in the Department of Manuscripts and Rare Old Books, ten letters were sent to Jagić by Senj’s bishop, later Zagreb’s archbishop, Josip Juraj Posilović. These letters are of interest to Slavicists and Croatists because the bishop didn’t write to Jagić about theological themes but about the Glagolitic script and Glagolitic monuments. Besides this from the letters it can be discerned how much the bishop’s engagement was with the preservation of the Glagolitic script in his Senj-Modruš bishopric and about his merits with the foundation of the department of Old Church Slavonic language in Senj’s seminary, and the efforts of the priests of his bishopric that they, upon the pastor’s examination, also demonstrate their knowledge of the Glagolitic script. For a better understanding of a number of details in the letters, they are accompanied with notes whilst in an attached article a Missive is also addressed to other bisphorics about the preservation of the Glagolitic script.
