Summary/Abstract: The detailed vita of St. Constantine-Cyril (VC) is the first Old-bulgarian hagiographic work to reach us in 66 complete copies from the 15th to the 19th centuries. The suggested research is based on 50 of them and has for object the titles. Exactly in the titling phrases are noticed some sense variations in compliance with the conception for actuality. The material is described and classified by types. The accurate synthesis points out that at first time the sainted degree блаженъ and the name Конъстанътинъ Философъ make a stable semantic form. The subsequent sensible synthetic reading offers a variant свѧтъи - Кѵрилъ. The same regular alteration logically testifies the panegyric of the earliest Slavic teacher. The presence of textual variations helps studying the relative connections among the copies. These observations cannot rehabilitate the genealogy in the textual tradition of VC but they are peculiar signals which mark the directions for entering in the fundamental text.
