This edition presents and describes the oldest hagiographic codex in Croatia entitled Passionale MR 164, which is also the oldest codex contained in the Metropolitana library of the Archdiocese of Zagreb. L. Krešić describes the codex from a paleographic, codicological, linguistic and hagiographic standpoint. Placing it within the cultural and historical coordinates of the early Middle Ages in Croatian territory, Krešić suggests a possibility of its origins from the basilica Sant’ Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna. Having originated there (in the second half or at the end of the 10th century, according to the author), the codex then migrated to Split, Dalmatia, then to Zagreb. Passionale MR 164 was written in Latin, Carolingian and Beneventan script typical of the Dalmatian coast (Dalmatian Beneventan letter), and as such represents a true paleographic enchiridion.
