Freising manuscripts

The Freising manuscripts[nb 1] are the first Latin-script continuous text in a Slavic language and the oldest document in Slovene.

Linguistic, stylistic and contextual analyses reveal that these are church texts of careful composition and literary form.

In this liturgic and homiletic manuscript, three Slovene records were found and this miscellany was probably an episcopal manual (pontificals).

[3] The main support for this dating is the writing, which was used in the centuries after Charlemagne and is named Carolingian minuscule.

During the time of the writing of the two manuscripts (sermons on sin and repentance, a confessional form), Bishop Abraham was active (from 957 to 994) in Freising.
