Sažetak
Medicine, Prayer and Sorcery: Word, Act and Symbol in Medieval Glagolic Writings Old Croatian Glagolic writings, collected in manuscripts written on parchment dating from 14th and 15th century, thought to have originated somewhere between Rijeka and Senj, drawing our attention to significant relationship between magical acts, words and symbols in order to achieve particular aim using a system of analogy, which is the fundamental principle for practical magic functioning itself. The texts were written by several authors and contain some recipes for treating diseases, sorcery and one prayer. Apart from using specific words, and presumably acts, some numbers, characters and symbols were also used in order to achieve some sort of a magical effect. Although the writings date from 14th and 15th century, they have a much older, oriental origins.
