More- over, the form of some letters of the Cyrillian alphabet was puzzling, as their origin could hot easily be traced. As regards this alphabet, it is now proved that the main part of it was taken from the Greek uncial writing, and the signs employed for sounds strange to the Greek are due to the Glagolitza, whence they were borrowed by the later compiler of this alphabet, who, as it seems to be, was St. Clemens (t 916) in Bulgaria, for in his biography it is expressly stated " that he invent...ed other clearer letters than those which were invented by the wise Cyrill " (ia-ocplcraTO km yapaKTripats erepovs ypa/uL- fudraiv -wpbs to cra(pecrT€pov % ov$ e^evpev 6 crocpos KvpiWoi).* The Greek literature and the Greek writing were generally known in Bulgaria at that period, and it was only natural to adopt the better known signs for their own language than to adopt an entirely new alphabet, as the Glagolitic was, taking from this only the signs not wanting in the Greek alphabet, — just as was done many cen- turies before, under the same circumstances and at the same spot — in Bulgaria — by Bishop Ulfilas when he invented the so-called Gothic alphabet.
