ДОБРОМИРОВОТО ЕВАНГЕЛИЕ ВО ИСТРАЖУВА АТА НА ВАТРОСЛАВ JАГИK
DOBROMIR GOSPEL IN VATROSLAV JAGIĆ’S RESEARCH

Summary/Abstract: Vatroslav Jagić devoted substantial attention to Macedonian contribution to Old Slavonic/Church Slavonic, implying that the foundation of this language rests upon in Macedonian dialects from the Thessaloniki area. Thus, together with Vatroslav Oblak, he established the Macedonian theory regarding the folk foundation of the Old Slavonic. Jagić research was primarily centred on the canonical gospels. His interest in gospels continues with the paper on the oldest Cyrillic Church Slavonic four-gospel which is placed on the borderline between Glagolitic and Cyrillic literacy, which is the Dobromir Gospel from the XII century. Jagić highlights the Macedonian features of the manuscript, determines its Macedonian origin based on orthographical, phonological, morphological, and lexical attributes, and identifies its similarities with the Glagolitic literary tradition. He dated the time of origin of the manuscript, named it according to the record of the priest Dobromir, identified its similarities with the Glagolitic literary tradition, and emphasised its features that relates it with the Macedonian language areal. Jagić uses the term Macedonian school, Macedonian area. Later on, Dobromir Gospel has become a subject of interest of many eminent Slavistics scholars. This paper summarizes the basic conclusions emerging from the Jagić’s study, compared to the latest research of this manuscript which supplements Jagić’s conclusions, as well as some points of view which differ from his opinions. This manuscript offers rich material for Church Slavonic, especially through the abundance of lexical forms, and it also points out to interlinguistic contacts.
