Šta je sve nestalo iz srpskih mineja XIII veka?
What Has Been Lost from the Serbian 13th Century Menaia?

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the differences that existed between serbian menaia of the XIII and XIV centuries. Differences, in the first place, are considering the calendar ie. the saints who were included in XIII century manuscripts and who, acording to the Jerusalem liturgical tradition of the XIV century, were elliminated from the XIV century manuscripts. The typica, that conduct the liturgical aspects of the service, had the major role in that process. This research is based on the manuscripts no. 58 and 361 of the Archive of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, no. 647 of the National Library of Serbia and no. 608 of the Hilandar Monastery. At the same time, the oldest slavonic ie. russian manuscripts (from the very end of the XI and from the XII century) of the kind were included in this research. It appeared that, apart from the differences considering the calendar, there are significant disagreements in content between the the services dedicated to certain saints in the manuscripts of the XIII and XIV cenuries. Full attention was given to the appearance of the services dedicated to one saint, that were copied almost at the same time, but with different content. The service of the 1. november (according to the mss. ASANU 361 and National Library 647) is offered as a vivid example.
