Синаксарните четива в ранните славянски евангелски ръкописи
The Synaxarion Lections in the Early Slavonic Gospel Manuscripts

Summary/Abstract: The first stage in the development of the Slavonic Gospel Book (10th–14th c.) has been studied on the basic of 86 Bulgarian, Serbian and Russian copies. The composition of the lections is presented by dates in Table 1 and by evangelists in Table 2. In them are described which Gospel fragments are used in the Synaxarion and for which date each of them is designed. The differences between the manuscripts in the use of the lections have been established. In some cases the variants are totally lections while in other cases they are with a common nucleus and different scope. The lection which is contained in the prevailing number of manuscripts is defined as basic. The lections in the early Slavonic Synaxarion are partially unified. The unification includes chiefly the cycle After Passover, the Saturdays and Sundays of the other cycles and the Matin Easter Gospels, i. e. The Gospel reading determined the earliest for devine service. The pericopes introduced later were subjected more easily to changes or replacements. Repetitions of identical lections for different dates were established either within the framework of the same pericope system or of two different pericope systems (Mstislav and Miroslav). The repetitions created conditions for one of the pericopes to be dropped or to refer to the analogous pericope. An attempt has been made on the basis of the Synaxarion lections to extract data on the genealogical links between the copies studied.
