Crnorizec (Chernorizec) brave (second half of ⅸ c. – The first half of ⅹ c.) – a prominent medieval writer from the Cyrillometodiev period. He is the author of one of the most significant Old Slavic works “O Letterness” (“for the letters”). In its literary work, it provides extremely important data on the creation of the Slavic alphabet, its prehistory, the act of creation and its spread among the Slavic peoples. In this unique literary work is pointed out, among other things, the year of the creation of Slavic script – 6363. From the creation of the world, i.e. 863 (If calculated according to the Alexandrian era), ie 855 (if calculated according to the Byzantine era). The cruel of the Crnorizec brave is the Apology of the Cyrille Alphabet, its defense from the attacks of triasmen and their supporters. Page from the Apology “O Letminach” (for letters) of Crnorizec brave in science has long been slow down who is Crnorizec brave and which alphabet defends her in his apology – the Glagolitic or Cyrillic. The assumptions expressed that he lives and works in Thessaloniki, that he originates from Moravia, that his name is a pseudonym of a prominent medieval person (Kliment Ohridski, Prince Simeon, Naum Ohridski, Ioan Exarch), etc. As for what the alphabet defends in his apology – the Glagolitic or Cyrillic, it seems that the most convincing is the opinion of the Czech Theologian and Medeyte V. Wadechkick, who thinks C. Brave defends the Glagolitic from the tendencies in the Bulgarian capital to use the Greek letter instead of Cyrillic verb alphabet. He assumes that Cyrillic appears after writing the brave apology, as a compromise between the opposed opinions of the Crnorizec brave and the prince Simeon. This probably happened before the Pressorian Council (893), after which Naum comes in Ohrid as a replacement of and officially ordained for Bishop Clement. Taking into account these events, it is not excluded under the pseudonym of Crnorizec brave to hide namely the person of Sts. Naum Ohridski, who, due to the defense of the Cyrilla verb alphabet and the clash on this issue with the Bulgarian prince Simeon and the nearby aristocrats, was expelled from the Bulgarian capital. In previous research, over 100 transcripts from the work of Crnorizec brave “for the letters” were discovered. The oldest transcript is preserved in the Laurentian Proceedings (1348) located in the Salegorian monastery “St. Paul, from where he was taken to Russia (now in the Russian National Library in S.-Petersburg).
