ПРЕДСТАВАТА ЗА СВЕЩЕНОТО ВРЕМЕ В ЕВХАРИСТИЙНОТО БОГОСЛУЖЕНИЕ СПОРЕД ДВАТА МИСТАГОГИЧНИ ТРАКТАТА НА СИМЕОН СОЛУНСКИ „Ἑρμηνεία περὶ τοῦ θείου ναοῦ“ И „Περὶ τῆς ἱερᾶς λειτουργίας“ И ТЕХНИТЕ ЮЖНОСЛАВЯНСКИ ПРЕВОДИ
THE IDEA OF SACRED TIME IN THE EUCHARISTIC LITURGY ACCORDING TO THE TWO MYSTAGOGIC TREATISES OF SIMEON OF THESSALONIKI “Ἑρμηνεία περὶ τοῦ θείου ναοῦ” AND “Περὶ τῆς ἱερᾶς λειτουργίας” AND THEIR SOUTH SLAVIC TRANSLATIONS

Summary/Abstract: The researcher compares the two works by Simeon of Thessaloniki with their shorter versions, which appeared in the Balkans “Ἑρμηνεία περὶ τοῦ θείου ναοῦ” (“Explanatio de divino templo”) the former on the basis of its 15th-century Southern Slavonic epitome, entitled Протлⷦь луⷮргїи, и црк҃ви, и чи́нꙋ сщ҃енⸯничьскомꙋ (according to the copy in the RGADA 88 manuscript 16th century, and the latter “Περὶ τῆς ἱερᾶς λειτουργίας” (“De sacra liturgia”) on the basis of its partial Church Slavonic translation according to the hagiography of Spiridon of Gabrovo of the early 19th century (No. 1322 at the National Library St. Cyril and Methodius). These texts are compared as regards the interpretation given in them of holy time in the Eucharistic service. The information about every single item in the liturgy in the sources compared is presented with a view to its external (ritual) aspect and its inner meaning (symbolism). As a result, the Southern Slavonic reception of the Greek mystagogic knowledge of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance is reflected in the overall context of the liturgical exegesis of one of the most distinguished late Byzantine mystagogues, seen in his individual intellectual development.
