The most important early monument of Croatian literacy is the Ba?ka tablet from
the late 11th century. It is a large stone tablet found in the small church of
St. Lucy on the Croatian island of Krk, containing text written mostly in čakavian,
today a dialect of Croatian, and in Croatian Glagolitic script.
