Компилация с името на Псевдо-Евлогий Александрийски в старобългарски превод
A Compilation with the Name of Pseudo-Eulogius of Alexandria in Old Bulgarian Translation

Summary/Abstract: The translation of a mosaic of New Testament pericopes is analysed, which is a guide to the basics of the Christian life. Pericopes have been selected for the popular theme of the Old and New Testament relationships. The emphasis in the compilation, however, is not on the typological connection between the two Testaments, but on the essential difference between them, which is illustrated by the detailed antithesis of the changed meaning of God’s commandments. The earliest Old Church Slavonic translation dates from the 10th century and is preserved in a miscellany from the Hilandar monastery No. 382 from the 13th–14th century. An identical copy in the MS No. 310, Moldavian provenance, 16th c. (Library of the Rumanian Academy, Bucharest) allows us to reconstruct the archetype. In the 14th century, a new version of the same text was created in Bulgaria, as attested in MSS Hlud. No. 237, c. 1340–1350 (State Historical Museum, Moscow) and No. 42, 14th c. (Austrian National Library, Vienna), which was the result of a new collation of the Old Bulgarian translation with the Greek text. A copy genetically related to this group is preserved in the MS 26, Serbian provenance, third quarter of 14th c. (Serbian National Library, Belgrade). The selective translation, adapted from the Greek original, well illustrates the compilation work of the writers and the continuity between the Old Bulgarian, Middle Bulgarian and Serbian traditions.
