Digital edition of Zrcalo člověčaskogo spasenja

This digital edition includes the semi-diplomatic transcription and description of the Medieval Croatian Glagolitic text Zrcalo člověčaskogo spasenja (1445). This large text (81 folios) was written in the first part of the Manuscript of the deacon Luka together with other texts which were translated from the Old Czech language during the residence of the Croatian Benedictine monks in Emaus, Prague in the 13th and 14th century. The text of the Zrcalo člověčaskogo spasenja was later transcribed on the island Krk by the deacon Luka. It is written in the angular Glagolitic script and not illuminated.

The transcription is displayed in a parallel view with the facsimiles from the digitized manuscript, which is preserved in the Vatican library (Borg. L. VII. 9, illirico 9). The text is annotated using the TEI guidelines, fully available in the TEI/XML format. The facsimiles are displayed with permission of the Vatican Library using the IIIF Image API.
