Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to bring to the attention of scholars the full texts of two copies of the anonymous Old Bulgarian Canon for the Presentation of the Theotokos, whose acrostic was discovered bw S. Kozhucharov. These are menaion copy F.n.І.72 from the Russian National Library, which is well-known and has been used by S. Kozhuharov, but has not been published so far, and menaion copy N 144 from the Khludov Collection, which was discovered later. As so far no textological study has been made of that work, the copies – the four of them that were published earlier and the two that are the subject of the presend article – suggest interesting conclusions on the development of the text. On the basis of the brief textological analysis of the six copies of the Canon for the Presentation of the Theotokos one can say that its text is comparatively stable, while the copy in the Skopje Manaios remains isolated with regard to completeness of the content and as a text by itself. One is left with the general impression that already the earliest Bulgarian and Serbian copies of the work show the beginnings of the textual variants that we meet with in later copies. Thus, from instance, the following copies: N 674 from National Library in Belgrade, Krakow 935, and Khludov 144 show a definite link with a likely source text, while on the other hand one can definitely detect a link also between the copies in F.n.І.72 and in the Skopje Menaion, and the copy in SANU 361.
