On the Kiev Missal article it mentioned Hamm wrote a book dismissing that work, might be worth adding a noteJonpatterns (talk) 18:28, 21 February 2014 (UTC) -Reply

Croatian Slavist Josip Hamm stirred a fierce debate in his book Das Glagolitische Missale von Kiew (Wien, 1979). In it, and in his other papers and lectures he maintained the view that the Kiev Folios are a 19th-century fake by Czech patriots in order to prove the antiquity of Czech literary culture. However, in general Slavists do not hold this view.[citation needed]
