Four of them are from the collection of Dragomirna Monastery and two are kept in the library of the Romanian Academy of Sciences. Brief archeographical data on these manuscripts are given. Finally, the texts of the Prologue lives of St Petka Tarnovska, St Ivan Rilski, St Hilarion Maglenski and St Michael the Warrior are published. The comparison of the text of Prologue lives in the studied Romanian manuscripts with the text of the Turnovo manuscripts shows that they are very close to each other. The spread of Prologue texts from the Turnovo cycle in the Romanian literary tradition after the end of the 14th century is an important proof of the close spiritual and literary relations between the Bulgarian literary centers and the Romanian principalities.","PeriodicalId":52013,"journal":{"name":"Palaeobulgarica-Starobalgaristika","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135367710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present work aims to present in detail the paleographical, codicological and some lexical features of this little-studied manuscript. The manuscript was assigned by E. I. Deminа to the IV Early Modern Bulgarian type: this type is particularly important because it actually represents the link between the damaskins of the 17th and the 18th century. It also presents new translations of texts by Greek authors and different textual versions of some homilies which were independently derived from the archaic Sredna-Gora translation. The analysis of the specific linguistic characteristics proves that this manuscript was written in the Eastern Bulgarian area.","PeriodicalId":52013,"journal":{"name":"Palaeobulgarica-Starobalgaristika","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41658428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In vernacular oral traditions transmitted on the borderlands of Poland, Belarus and Ukraine, we find not only interpretations of the canonical source of the New Testament motifs “Flight to Egypt” and “The Massacre of the Innocents” (Mat 2:13–19), but also some parabiblical motifs reaching back to apocryphal texts of the first centuries of Christianity (e.g. Prot. Jas., Arab. Gos. Inf.). The latter reflect traditional developments, incorporating portrayals of biblical characters into the native worldview of narrators. The motif of the wandering Mother of God with the Child is found in several types of oral transmission: a) The Nativity/Christmas ritual: carols, pastorals, church songs, sermons and homilies, fairground performances; b) in traditions relating to Marian devotion (folk Marian songs, iconography in Eastern Christianity); c) in axiological and moral traditions: songs, legends, charms. This paper presents collected variants of the motif of Wandering in folk culture and analysis of the origin of the motifs and their adaptation in the environment of vernacular tradition and of the social, religious and theological messages contained in the texts.","PeriodicalId":52013,"journal":{"name":"Palaeobulgarica-Starobalgaristika","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42137327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors provide a brief overview of the research on the early history of the text and interact with the conclusions by W. R. Veder and L. Sels who distinguish two main groups of manuscripts and two versions of the text, respectively. The authors raise the problem of limited textual material and lack of understanding of the manuscript tradition, which often goes with the tendency of scholars to approach this writing without a proper historical perspective on its spread in the Slavic lands. As a way of contributing to the solution of this problem, the authors propose to introduce into the scientific circulation three new manuscripts of the Questions and Answers from the 14th–15th centuries, based on the research of T. G. Popova, who designated these manuscripts as those who contain the Lestvitsa (The Ladder of Divine Ascent) of John Climacus. The bulk of the article examines these manuscripts, their specific features and redactions in relation to the textual groups I and II. At the end of the article, the authors draw important conclusions concerning the early spread of the Questions and Answers as they were transmitted together with Lestvitsa.","PeriodicalId":52013,"journal":{"name":"Palaeobulgarica-Starobalgaristika","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49113856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
