Kočerin tablet
The Kočerin Tablet is the longest medieval tablet written in Bosnian Cyrillic. It was made in 1404 on the bottom of a tombstone in the cemetery of Viginja Miloševič, a historical village, located close to the village of Kočerin, 9 kilometers away from the city of Široki Brijeg.[1] The tablet was discovered in Kocerin Field. The tombstone that the tablet that was written on top of was discovered in 1983 in Lipovci. In 1872, it was moved to Kočerin to the right side of the priest's office. In 1927, a new church was built in Kocerin and a copy of the inscription was placed there. In 2004, it was moved to the inside of the Priest's office.[1]
The tablet measures 54 centimetres (21 in) across on the bottom, 49 centimetres (19 in) in the middle, and 50 centimetres (20 in) at the top. It measures 134 centimetres (53 in) in height. The top part is damaged.
The tablet contains 25 rows of script, with 9-15 characters on each line. The tablet contains 300 Cyrillic characters in total, the largest known text in Bosnian Cyrillic. The first line indicates the signs of the cross, and then the words: VA IME OCE I SINA I SVETOGA DUHA AMIN SE LEZI VIGANJ MILOSEVIC. In the tablet, five rulers are mentioned: Banus Stjepan, King Tvrtko, King Dabiša, Queen Gruba, King Ostoja. The text ends by saying :I MOLU VAS NE NASTUPITE NA ME JA SAM BIL KAKO VI ESTE VI ĆETE BITI KAKOV SAM JA. The text is written in Ikavian accent.[2]
