Непознати евангелски хомилии в южнославянски триоди от XIV–XVII век
Unknown Gospel Homilies in 14th–17th Century South Slavic Triodia

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes three Gospel homilies conserved in eight Serbian triodia from the 14th to the 17th century. So far they have not been encountered in any Slavic or Byzantine hagiographic sources. The homilies explain the Gospel pericopes prescribed for the Second, Fourth and Fifth Sunday of Lent according to the Typikon of the Great Church. One interesting fact is that the homilies are ‘convoyed’ from the Synaxarion homilies for the Triodion of Nikephoros Kallistos Xantopolous. The analysis of the language of the homilies confirms the assumption that they are translated and it points to the 14th century as the time of their emergence. On the basis of a careful investigation of the archeography of the eight copies of the homilies, of their ‘convoy’, and of literary and historical information about independent translations of other liturgically related texts, medieval Serbia is proposed as the area where the homilies were translated.
