The Slavic Lingual Presence in the Docheiariou Monastery

Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the article is to provide a detailed description of all the Slavic manuscripts and documents in the library of Docheiariou. The only documents written in a Slavic vernacular of Bulgarian type, that were identified in the Docheiariou archive, concerned the donations granted to the monastery by the rulers of Moldavia. They pertain to the history of the transdanubian districts where Slavs have always been a minority, so they cannot be qualified as purely Slavic documents. The Slavic manuscripts in the library of Docheiariou are only nine and some of them are preserved in rather poor, fragmentary condition. Some manuscripts bear traces of older numbers and it seems that these numbers correspond to the list described by Sp. Lambros in his catalogue of the Greek athonite codices.
