The Slavic Lingual Presence in the Athonite Capital of Karyai (The Slavic Manuscripts of the Ptotaton Library)

Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the article is to provide a detailed description of all the Slavic manuscripts available in the Protaton library on Mount Athos. The Protaton Slavic codices were found to be only eight. Some of them are preserved in rather good condition. No description of the manuscripts is found in the library. The eight Slavic books described in this article are unknown to the Slavistic scholarly community, despite the fact that they are mentioned in the monograph Survey of the Athonite Antiquities, published by the Bulgarian scholar and pilgrim Konstantin Dmitriev-Petkovich in the mid-nineteenth century. The general catalogue of the Athonite Slavic codices, which was recently published by A. Turilov and L. Moshkova, mentions no Slavic manuscripts belonging to the Protaton library.
