Fragmenta Vindobonensia, also known as the Vienna folios (German: Wiener glagolitische Blätter; Serbo-Croatian: Bečki listići), is the name of two illuminated Glagolitic folios that most likely originate from 11th or 12th-century Croatia and Dalmatia.

They were discovered and first described by Vatroslav Jagić in 1890 and are kept in the National Library in Vienna, the origin of their modern namesake.[1][2] Some research puts their origin in western Croatia.[3]

Contents

The folios include text from Genesis 12:17–13:14 and Genesis 15:2–15:12.[4] In addition, they contain the beginning of Paul's first letter to the Corinthians 4:9-16. It is an expanded Gregorian sacrament, and is relatively small. Scholars theorize that it was meant as a book used by a travelling missionary, due to its small size.[5]
