Вопросоответы к князю Антиоху Псевдо-Афанасия Александрийского в старообрядчеких рукописях
Pseudo-Athanasian Questions and Answers to Antiochus the Duke in Old Believer manuscripts

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the Pseudo-Athanasian Questions and Answers to Antiochus the Duke (Quaestiones ad Antiochum ducem; CPG 2257; hereinafter QAD) in Old Believer manuscripts. The authors provide a brief overview of the erotapocritic genre in Byzantine literature, the range of questions-and-answers in Greek and Slavonic texts, the contents of this work, and the textual division of the Slavonic translation of QAD into two groups of manuscripts. The article emphasizes the problem of the limited availability of manuscript evidence and notes that this is the first attempt to study QAD in the late Old Believer book tradition. The analysis of QAD is based on seventeen manuscripts from the North Russian Old Believer tradition, housed in the collections of the Repository of Old Documents at the Institute of Russian Literature, the Scientific Library of Pitirim Sorokin Syktyvkar State University, and the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. The study of the manuscript material allowed the authors to identify four different types of how QAD was used in Old Believer collections. Each of these types is discussed separately and illustrated with proper examples from manuscript material.
