The main idea of this thesis is to describe the education of Glagolitic priests in Dalmatia. The first chapters cover everything students had to learn in seminaries and the methods used in their instruction. Their duties outside the church are also described, especially if they lived on a rural estate. Although the economic situation of that time was not ideal, the Church managed to provide some support. The next section lists the age requirements for entering the seminary and outlines the general curriculum. The following chapter focuses on Glagolitic priests as writers, scribes, and notaries. After that, there is a division of the Glagolitic tradition in the Archdiocese of Zadar into three periods, each separately explained. For the golden age of Glagolitic script, the establishment of the higher education institution Studium generale, later called Universitas Jaderatina, is particularly significant. Zadar was the center of Glagolitic culture from the 15th to the 19th century. Also described are the origins of the Glagolitic seminaries "Vicko Zmajević" and the seminary at Priko in the church of St. Peter. The thesis examines the activities of the Glagolitic priests of Poljica within the former Poljica Republic and their migrations to islands such as Brač, Šolta, and Čiovo. The final chapter discusses the Third Order Franciscans, who used the Glagolitic breviary until 1965 as a sign of their devotion.
