Summary/Abstract: This article tries to define the term “Euthymius’ euchologia”. It examines the criteria by which a manuscript euchologion could be described by this established, but yet not precisely defined concept. Accepted as Euthymius’ euchologia so far are the two Zographou manuscripts Zogr.46 (Euchologion (of Euthymius)), Zogr.103 (Zographou roll) and NBKM 231 (Sofia Euchologion). On the basis of certain criteria we suggest that we should add two more Zographou manuscripts – Zogr.174 and Zogr.128 – and one from the Great Lavra – GLZ-13 – to the circle of manuscipt euchologia which contain edited texts of Euthymius of Tarnovo. The manuscript from the Great Lavra, despite being known for a long time, is yet to be thoroughly examined from liturgical point of view and its grouping with the other Euthymius’ euchologia puts it in new light for further examination.
