Summary/Abstract: The article is a continuation of the author’s searchings upon the Euchologium of the Orthodox Slavs as a source of their history during the Middle Ages. The actual publication contains the original text of two prayers for to the tsar: “A prayer, said everytime when the patriarch visited the tsar and mostly in Thursday after the Easter” and “Another prayer for to the tsar” (for the princes in Russian translation). Except this a detailed textual and historical comment of the sources is offered, which helps for the true evaluation of the contained information.The article includes also a new and complete record of a manuscript code No 954 from the collection of the National Library “St. St. Cyril and Methodius” in Sofia. In our opinion this record is phenomenally valuable in the research work of the mediaeval Euchologium of Bulgarians and Serbs, for the existing till now description is incomplete and in a lot of cases mispresented.
