Summary/Abstract: Manuscript No. 138 from the A. I. Khludov Collection is a Middle Bulgarian old-redaction Triodion from the second half of the ХІІІ century, in which 15 synaxarion readings have been included. Their texts and composition are the subject of this article. Nine of the readings, whose author supposedly is St Clement of Ohrid (the readings on the Sundays of the Great Lent and the Saturday of Lazarus), are well known and explored. The remaining six texts have not been published or analyzed. All of them refer to the Old Bulgarian literature, but their oldest preserved copies are from the 13th century. While working in detail with the sermons associated with the name of St Clement, I hypothesize that the displacement of parts of three of them (on the fifth Sunday of the Great Lent, on the Resurrection of Lazarus and on the Palm Sunday) is due to shuffled leaves in the antigraph. Unnoted as an integral whole, the Sermon on Palm Sunday is present here under the authorship of Athanasius of Alexandria, while its second half has become the second part of the Homily on the Resurrection of Lazarus. A text about Cheesefare Saturday without a Greek original has been added here. This text can also be associated with the authorship of St Clement or bookmen of his school. It is published in the Appendix to the article. As a whole, the composition of the synaxarion readings from Triodion Hlud138 is unique.
