Partial scan of manuscript

The Rila fragments are a Glagolitic manuscript consisting of eight fragmentary parchment leaves and three fragments of a 10th-century Glagolitic Old Church Slavonic book.[1]

The fragments' texts are part of Ephraim the Syrian's "Parenesis" (precepts). and from prayers read during Lent.[2]
