The Cyrillo-Methodian mission, called to Moravia to establish there an independent church organization, connected this task with the aim to create a literature in the Slavonic language and actually within only 20 years they not only translated the books of the Holy Writ and other religious and liturgical texts but created also the first Slavonic legal codes; their disciples then created also first original works in Slavonic. It was characteristic of their activities that they based their literary activities not only on the Greek literature that, naturally, was prevailing, but that they did not hesitate to use also Latin works established in the country already before their arrival.
