Summary
This chapter engages with the typological model of biscriptality recently developed by Bunčić et al. in order to offer an innovative approach to the analysis of graphematic features in Church Slavonic orthography. In the chapter, the biscriptality model is applied to two South Slavic New Testament texts printed in Glagolitic and Cyrillic letters in 1562/63 and 1563, respectively, in Urach near Tübingen. Through a detailed analysis of some important features of the printed texts of the New Testament, concepts such as letters, graphemes and allographs are used to characterise both the internal script contexts within the two texts and their external biscriptal relations. The chapter outlines a model for biscriptal isomorphism that is applied to six grapheme classes: the segmental graphemes letters and numerals, and the supragraphemes capitalisation, superposition, abbreviation and ligature.
