Summary/Abstract: The form of Cyrillic used in stećak inscriptions belongs to the same tradition as the ustav or uncial script used in the manuscripts, albeit somewhat altered by the influence of four-line (minuscule) diploma hand. Given the letter forms’ dual origins, an attempt is presented in this paper at classifying some of the forms of transformation undergone by the uncial script used in stećak inscriptions.
