To an eye accustomed to the Latin script, glagolitic symbols look amazingly strange – they have an almost architectonic quality to them, just like miniature plans of medieval Croatian churches: small white walled buildings scattered around the countryside of southern Croatia. Or, they can remind us of some ancie nt letter full of hidden messages from Antiquity, like those carved into the Baška tablet, the monument at the very heart of Croatian identity. Today, the glagolitic script is experiencing a true revival in Croatia and tells us modern stories in the ancient voices of our ancestors.
