Ⰳⰾⰰⰳⱁⰾⰹⱌⰰ (tr. glagolica, "Glagolitic") is an Old Slavic alphabet, believed to have been originally devised in the mid-9th century by St. Cyril (Constantine), a Byzantine monk from Thessaloniki, for the purpose of translating the Scriptures into the language of the Slavs in Great Moravia in order to engage in Christian proselytisation. It was formerly used for the writing of Old Church Slavonic before being displaced by the Early Cyrillic alphabet some decades after it was first invented; though, in an exception to the precedence of Cyrillic, it did remain in use as late as the nineteenth century among Croatian Orthodox clerics writing in Church Slavonic.

Alphabet

The Glagolitic alphabet originally contained 38 characters, gradually expanding to 41, with certain numeric correspondences assigned (and possibly re-assigned) to each letter.

  • Thusly, one might perform an isopsephic operation as follows: Ⰳⰾⰰⰳⱁⰾⰹⱌⰰ = 4 + 50 + 1 + 4 + 80 + 50 + 10 + 900 + 1 = 1100
