The Vocabulary of Stanislav’s Menοlοgιοn. Latinisms

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the Latin loan words in Stanislav’s Menologion, tracing their function in the Old Bulgarian medieval manuscripts and the ways of their borrowing. The statistics shows that 21 out of 44 lexemes of Latin origin belong to the Old Bulgarian (OCS) canon, 15 out of them being attested in Codex Suprasliensis. The later occurrences are concentrated in hagiographic collections as well. Seven lexemes are hapax legomena and other seven are rare words with less than five occurrences in lexicographic manuals. Nine of the described lexemes represent early pre-Christian loan words and two derive from old borrowings. All nine have derivates in Old Bulgarian manuscripts or in the menologion itself. Three of the pre-Christian loan words have literary counterparts in the menologion and other two are literary doublets of early borrowings. Both pre-Christian loan words and literary borrowings (hapax legomena excluded) participate in synonymic chains with domestic and foreign lexis. The structure of this lexical group and its functioning confirms the hypothesis that the translation of the calendar hagiographic corpus took place in the Classical Old Bulgarian period.
