Die lange Vita des hl. Klemens. Eine Wichtige Historische Quelle für die Verbreitung des Christentums auf dem Balkan. Kritische Beiträge zum Text
The Long Life of St. Clement. An important historical source for the expansion of Christianity in the Balkans. Some critical remarks

Summary/Abstract: The Long Life of St. Clement is a very important historical source for the significant role played by St. Clement in the conversion of the Bulgarian people to Christianity. Nine manuscripts of the Life are known, in which the text is fully or partially preserved. The first critical edition of the text was made by Fr. Miklosich (1847). It was followed by the editions of N. L. Tunickij, A. Milev, P. Cautier, and others, the latest being that of I. Iliev (1995). In this article I propose six changes for the improvement of the text, concerning myself only with passages which appear problematical in all editions; in only two cases do I examine suggestions proposed by other editors.
