Quaresimal
Greblo's quaresimal ( hr, Greblov kvaresimal) is a 15th-century collection of sermons written in the Glagolitic alphabet by Croatian priest Simon Greblo. History This liturgical book was written in Roč by the local calligrapher and Glagolitic priest Simon Greblo. Greblo is a scribe about whom only scant biographical data survive. He was born and died in Roč. He wrote the ''Interpretation of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ'' while still a deacon in March 1493 (completed on March 5, 1493). That same year he was ordained; and produced the ''Spiritual Quadriga'' (''Kvadrigu duhovnu''), a translation of a treatise on moral theology by Italian Franciscan Nicholas of Osimo, which Greblo probably both transcribed and translated. The Quaresimal was completed by Greblo five years later, in 1498.

Simon Greblo
Simon Greblo (also ''Šimun Greblo'', ''Simon Greblić'') (ca. 1472 - after 1539), was a Croatian priest, intellectual, Glagolitic writer and scribe. He was one of the most noted connoisseurs of the Glagolitic alphabet at the end of the 15th century. Greblo is generally considered the brightest Croatian copyist of his day. His calligraphy has been especially praised. While not an original author, his knowledge of cultural and literary interests of the day, taste and acumen in making literary choices have been noted. Biography Only scant biographical data on Greblo have survived. We know that he was born in Roč, at the time a center of Croatian culture in Istria. Greblo mentions that he was born in Roč in his ''Interpretation of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ''. Based on other documents, it may be concluded that he stayed his whole life in Roč, and that he died there.

Latin
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition. Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four ...

15th-century Illuminated Manuscripts
The 15th century was the century which spans the Julian dates from 1 January 1401 ( MCDI) to 31 December 1500 ( MD). In Europe, the 15th century includes parts of the Late Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the early modern period.
