Von vergesslichen Autoren und verwirrten Lesern. Zur Bedeutung der Textrekonstruktion für die Interpretation der Kniga palomnik des Antonij von Novgorod
From forgetful authors and confused readers. The meaning of the text structure for the interpretation of the book Kniga Palomnik of Antony von Novgorod

Summary/Abstract: The examination of the Kniga Palomnik, a pilgrim report written in 1200 by the Russian pilgrim Dobrynja Jadrejkovič, led to the conviction that the author’s reputedly confusing account might be read as a largely consistent description of Constantinople’s sanctuaries when taking into consideration the entire manuscript tradition and the structure of the text. However, there is one topographically disordered sequence which cannot be properly explained by the established interpretation of the text structure. The present article provides another explanation for the confusion of travelling routes in this passage by reconstructing the text order in the archetype manuscript.
