The New Critical Edition of the Martyrdom of the Fifteen Martyrs of Tiberioupolis (BHG 1199) by Irini-Sophia Kiapidou and Several Problems of the Text

Abstract

The review-article discusses the new critical edition of BHG 1199 and its traditional attribution to Theophylact of Ohrid (which is rejected). The legend representing the conversion of Bulgaria with no participation of Cyril and Methodius or their disciples must go back to the tenth century First Bulgarian kingdom.
