Odlomak Protoevanđelja Jakovljeva u hrvatskoglagoljskom Brevijaru Britanske knjižnice
A fragment of Protoevagelium of James in Croato-Glagolitic Breviary in the British Library

Summary/Abstract: The apocryphal Protevangelium of James can be found in more Croatian Glagolitic texts. Translations of the De conceptione Mariae in two Croatian Glagolitic breviaries, dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, belong to the Latin tradition of these apocrypha, while Slavic tradition of the Greek Protevangelium is followed by more textual sources. The British Library's Breviary (London, British Library, Ms Add. 31.951), dating from the 15th century, contains lessons from Protevangelium of James (XVII-XX). These lessons are textologically identical with the Croatian Glagolitic apocryph from the Ljubljana Breviary (Ljubljana, Narodna in univerzitetna knjižnica, Ms 163), dating from the 15th century. Both Croatian Glagolitic apocrypha are very similar to Bulgarian Cyrillic texts. The comparison of the Croatian Glagolitic translations with Cyrillic apocrypha and Greek Protevangelium indicates some common interpolations.
