Tetraevangheliarele liturgice chirilice tipărite timpuriu publicate în ținuturile medievale românești în secolul al XVI-lea. Prezentare generală și analiza minologhioanelor
Early Printed Cyrillic Liturgical Tetraevangelia issued in the lands of medieval Romania in the 16th century. General characteristic and Menologia analysis

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this research is the general characteristics (typographical, textual, and compositional) and analysis of the commemorations of saints and feasts present in the Menologia of Romanian-Bulgarian Tetraevangelia issued in the 16th century. The study was based on all liturgical Gospel Books issued before the year 1800 with particular attention drawn to all Early printed Cyrillic liturgical Tetraevangelia issued in the lands of medieval Romania, i. e. nine extant today copies. Different textual classifications of all Romanian Gospel editions into groups and subgroups were presented based on the text readings revealed in several Gospel fragments, prefaces to the Gospels and Chapter Titles. A textual analysis of Menologia focused on the number of days in the twelve months, the presence or absence of saints and feasts, and verbatim correspondence of commemorations’ names, served as another way for the textual and liturgical classification of these nine extant today Romanian-Bulgarian Tetraevangelia. The tables present the most convincing examples for all conceivable classifications. A full list of all the commemorations present in the Menologia of eight extant Romanian-Bulgarian early printed Cyrillic liturgical Tetraevangelia, as well as all missing ones, were also presented in this publication.
