Аористните форми на тематичните глаголи с инфинитивна основа на съгласна във Ватиканския палимпсест
The Aorist Forms of Thematic Verbs With an Infinitive Stem Ending in a Consonant in the Vatican Palimpsest

Summary/Abstract: The newly discovered Old Bulgarian Vatican palimpsest contains extremely interesting linguistic material. This is due to the fact that this Cyrillic apracos of the 10th c. is distinguished by numerous archaic linguistic features. A morphological case in point is the use of asigmatic forms of the aorist. The aorist forms from Vat are compared with the text of four gospels: the Glagolitic Zogr, Mar and As and the Cyrillic apracos SavKn. The basis for the comparative analysis are 276 aorist forms from Vat. The ratio simple aorist: II sigmatic aorist in Vat is 105:9. These data refute the opinion existing in Slavistics that the simple aorist is encountered mostly in the Old Bulgarian Glagolitic monuments. There are essential differences between the Cyrillic Vat and SavKn. The data show mat they are Old Bulgarian manuscripts copied at different times and that Vat preserves a much older text than SavKn. For Vat it may be assumed that it was created in a period of transition when the Glagolitic script was replaced by Cyrillic and that the scribe was well acquainted with and used both Old Bulgarian alphabets. A particular situation and the needs of the church service urged him to make a Cyrillic copy of a Glagolitic aprakos gospel that was already outdated.
