Summary/Abstract: The monograph is a contribution to the study of narratives, created in different periods of the Middle Ages and the Early Modernity, and considered as sources of the Cyrillo-Methodian tradition. The author interprets them as phenomena of identity – confessional, political, ethnic, cultural, using the motifs as key concepts for classification. The basic topics presented are the national identity, the relicts of S Clemens Romanus, and the sacral languages issue. Slavia Barlieva highlights here some of her discoveries in the field, made in the last few decades – such as the Elogium on S. Cyril in the Chronicle of the Casaurian monastery in Abruzzo (12th c.), or the records of the inventories of St. Vitus cathedral in Prague (14th c.). They are published with accompanying comments, chronologically organized in Greek and Latin sections. An Appendix is added to the main chapters, containing the Long Greek Life of S. Nahum of Ohrid and its Bulgarian translation, and a German sermon on SS Cyril and Methodius delivered in Vienna in 1720. The book is provided with a general index, an extensive bibliography, and a list of manuscripts and old prints consulted.
