Latinski natpisi - Matijević Sokol, Mirjana (Array, 1997)
Summary: The author looks at earliest and most important Latin inscriptions in Croatia in the early middle ages (royal inscriptions, inscriptions concerning dignitaries, priests and craftsman). The body of Croatian monumental epigraphic heritage dating from the Early Middle Ages is astonishing in European terms. Even when the incomplete state of research today is taken into account, the number of surviving examples is close to five hundred, which permits us to draw conclusion at a number of levels. By establishing the Croatian epigraphic heritage of the time of the national dynasty as the most productive venue for study of the European epigraphic heritage of the Early Middle Ages (together with the appearance of figurative representations in the Proto-Romanesque) we have at the same time established unequivocally its place in the early history of Europe in general.
