Służba ku czci św. Niedzieli w rękopisie z Biblioteki Jagiellońskiej
The Office in honour of Easter Sunday in the manuscript of Jagiellonian Library

Summary/Abstract: The Office (in Old-Slavic: služ.ba, in Greek: akolouthia) can be found in a medieval Bulgarian script (dated from the XlV/XVth century) which is stored in the Jagiellonian Library in Krakow (No 932). The script contains some hymn works indented for the Sundays of Easter period (post-paschal period). The Office dedicated to a woman martyr called Sunday (the name in a Greek version: Kiriakija, in a Latin version: Dominica) is a kind of work which is very rarely found in medieval manuscripts. The Office from the Krakow manuscript has been compared with Bulgarian one dated from the Xlllth century and with Serbian one dated the XVth century as well as with a printed Church Slavic version so as to determine the peculiarity and originality of this work (as far as the composition elements, the contents and the language are concerned). It is worth stating that both the individual features and the description of the woman martyr called Sunday presented in the Office of the Krakow manuscript are tightly related to Oration in praise of Sunday by Patriarch Eutymius.
