Памети за български и сръбски светци в манастирски ръкописи от ХІІІ–ХV в.
Commemorations of Bulgarian and Serbian Saints in Monastery Manuscripts from 13th–15th Centuries

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the commemorations of the first Serbian saints (Simeon and Sava, Archbishop Arsenius) and the first Bulgarian saints (Cyril and Methodius, Johan of Rila and the Western Bulgarian anchorites, Petka Tarnovska and the Tarnovo saints), placed in the calendars of biblical liturgical books (gospels and apostles) and in the calendar church books intended for daily use (prologues and menaia). The manuscripts from the period of the 13th–15th century are systematized chronologically and by monastic collections. Special attention is paid to the manuscripts located in the monasteries Zograf and Hilendar, Studenitsa, Decani and Pech, Lesnovo, Rila Monastery and others. The review of the monastery manuscripts from the 13th–15th century, with memories or texts about Bulgarian and Serbian saints, shows the community of the cult area of the South Slavs and presents the monastery libraries and the manuscripts in them as the main guardians of the centuries-old memory of the local South Slavic saints.
