The roots of the Glagolitic script go back thousands of years. Signs identical to Glagolitic letters appear on monuments from the third millennium BC.

No fewer than eight popes named St. Jerome as its inventor. Yet Jerome only perfected a script that had been taking shape for centuries, in the hands of Illyrian women.

The forerunners of Glagolitic letters can still be seen in the jewelry and pottery of the Liburnians, Histri, Delmatae, Iapydes, and other Illyrian tribes who lived between the Adriatic and the Black Sea.

So who credited Saints Cyril and Methodius with inventing the script, and why? And what did that claim cost Croatian culture? This book tells the story.
