ЗАУВАЖЕННЯ ДО ЕТИМОЛОГІЇ ЛЕКСЕМИ GRZECH – ГРІХ – ГРЕХНА МАТЕРІАЛІ ПОЛЬСЬКОЇ, УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ТА РОСІЙСЬКОЇ МОВ

Author(s): Przemysław Pasieczny / Language(s): Russian Issue: 06/2014

The article is devoted to the etymology of the lexeme grzech (ps.*grěxъ ukr. гріх, rus. грех). The analysis based on an extensive dictionary material (etymological, dialect, and monolingual dictionaries of three Slavic languages: Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian) has shown that this lexeme’s hypothetical connection with *grěti should be entirely rejected. The research has also revealed a connection of this lexeme’s etymology with the reconstructed Balto-Slavic lexeme *groi̭s-os. The original meaning of that latter lexeme can be reconstructed as “curve, bending.” In time, the meaning altered to “mistake”. An in-depth analysis of the etymology of the lexeme grzech allowed the author to connect the above-mentioned root with the Proto-Indo-European core gers-/*ǵers-, which means “to turn, to twist, to bend”. In accord with this etymology, the lexeme grzech should be included in the group of Proto-Slavic words that were inherited by the Christian religious lexis in the Slavic countries. Thus, the group of words proposed by E. Klich, S. Rospond and S. Dubisz should now contain five words: bóg, święty, niebo, piekło, grzech

Речник на Солунската легенда по пет преписа

Author(s): Lidiya Stefova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/1999

The vocabulary sets itself two objectives: 1. To present in full the lexis of the five copies of the Thessalonian Legend known so far; 2. To suggest a possible method of lexicographic processing of a work, preserved in several copies. The entris of the vocabulary include the ornamental initial letter, glossary of the word, morphological characteristics of the word forms and textological correspondences of the head word according to the copies. It is not proceeded in the vocabulary from a basic copy and the five copies are placed on the same footing. Each textological correspondence, different from the head word, is developed in its turn as a separate entry of the vocabulary. Instead of illustrative material in the entries of the vocabulary are indicated signatures which refer to the texts of the five copies appended at the end.

Два новооткрити надписа в София тип Runica Bulgarica

Author(s): Raiko Sefterski / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/1999

The article examines two newly discovered inscriptions of the runica bulgarica type engraved on gold-plated metal parts of a music horn. The horn is 35 cm long and is of an Asian cattle, with a specific internal device for music making. The small inscription is near the tip of the horn and contains 15 runic characters (fig. 2). The second inscription is on the metal part at the lower end with 33 characters (fig. 3). The characters are separate and between them there are no ligatures as are encountered in the Old Bulgarian runic inscriptions of the 7th–10th с. Some of these signs in appearance are similar to the Syiao-Churan writing (small type) of the end с. В. С. The Sofia music horn with the two runing inscriptions and certain additional signs on it justify our view that it was with a ritual-shamanic designation, used by the Proto-Bulgarians in military operations.

Нови данни за апракосите от мирославовски тип

Author(s): Ekaterina Dogramadzhieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/1999

About the Senaxarion of Miroslavov’s type, known so far from two Slavonic full lectionaries, new information was discovered in RGADA-1, continuous text, a Russian copy of the 12th c., in VAT, a full lectionary, Serbian copy of the 13th с. and in Verk, a short Lectionary, Bulgarian copy of the 13th–14th с. In another 13 codices, Bulgarian and Serbian copies of the 13th–15th c., were registered separate influences from it. Traces of the Glagolitic in the calendar indications in four of the five manuscripts and the distinct Old Bulgarian basis of the fifth manuscript show that this type of Synaxarion emerged in the Old Bulgarian period in a Glagolitic environment. Although strongly restricted in its distribution, it continued to be used in the South-Slavonic area up to the 14th с.

Глаголическата традиция и преславската книжнина

Author(s): Tatyana Slavova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/1999

The article examines the philological evidence in support of the fact that at least during the first two decades of the 10th century the Cyrillic alphabet was used simultaneously with the Glagolitic alphabet. It was in Glagolitic letters that some fundamental works of varions genres were originally written, such as: natural science works (e.g. Hexameron by John the Exarch), theological encyclopaedia (e.g. Symeonic Florilegium), collections of essays by the Holy priests, Old Testament biblical books with commentaries, historical works and calendar astronomical papers. The hypothesis that the historical announcement about прѣложение кънигъ dating from 893 concerning the substitution of Glagolitic letters for Cyrillic letters is refuted in this article.

Показателните местоимения в текста на Норовия псалтир

Author(s): Won Hoi Kim / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/1999

This article aims to investigate the Old Bulgarian demonstrative pronouns сь, тъ, онъ in Norov’s Psalter and their equivalents in the Greek text of the Psalter, by using the method of comparative analysis. At the centre of linguistic analysis are the semantic-functional characteristics of the demonstrative pronoun system in Norov’s Psalter, illustrating the transition from a three-component system to a two-component one.

Гръцки източници на учението за душата в старобългарската литература

Author(s): Lidia Denkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/1999

The teaching of the soul is extremely important for revealing the medieval world outlook since focuses on the principal questions about the essence of man (the man who is his soul) and the meaning of human existence. Studying the rich tradition of ancient philosophy (Aristotle and especially Plato’s teaching of the soul in “The State” and “Phaedo”). Greek authors like Gregory Nazianzen, Gregory of Nyssa and Maxim the Confessor created a rich stock of ideas from which the Old Bulgarian authors obviously benefited. The comparison of the Greek texts of “Seventh Funeral Oration for Caesar” by Gregory Nazianzen and particularly of the “Commentary on the Song of Songs”, “About the Resurrection of the Soul. A Conversation with Sister Makrina” and “The Life of Moses” by Gregory of Nyssa with works of the Old Bulgarian literature like “The Life of Romil of Vidin” and “The First Message to Nicodemus of Tistna” by Patriarch Euthymius clearly indicates the adoption of the Greek theories of the similarity of the soul to God.

„София – премъдрост Божия“ в кирило- методиевския агиографски цикъл

Author(s): Dimo Češmedžiev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/1999

The article is on the development of the well-known theological idea ‘Wisdom-Sophia’ in the Cyrillo-Methodian hagiographic cycle – The Vita of Constantine and Vita of Methodius, The Prologue Vita and Vita Brevis of Constantine-Cyril (the so-called Assumption of Cyril), The Panegyric of Constantine-Cyril, The Panageryc of Cyril and Methodius, and above all, The Mass of Constantine-Cyril. Several episodes of the above-mentioned works are presented in a modern way, based on the research done by Fr. Grivec and A. Danti and also on the detailed description of the this theological idea. An attempt is made, again in connection with the idea of Wisdom-Sophia, to explain the appearance of representations of Constantine-Cyril the Philosopher in the altars of the Medieval Bulgarian churches, in the tier of the great prelates of the Christian Church, and of his well-known contamination with Cyril of Alexandria.

„Ново“ сведение на Константин Костенечки, съобщено и от Григорий Цамблак, за книжовната дейност на Евтимий Търновски

Author(s): Kiril Kabakčiev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/1999

The article proposed deals with the analysis of a passage from Constantine Kostenechki’s Tale describing the literary activity of Euthymius of Turnovo. The interpretation brings us to the conclusion that the last Patriarch of Turnovo has made a new translation of the Pentateuch. This fact was confirmed also by Gregory Tsamblak in his “Laudatory Speech about Euthymius”. Thus, the idea launched so far about a linguistic-orthographic or some other kind of reform the author of which was Euthymius of Turnovo, does not find any support in the fundamental sources about the “reform” of Euthymius.The article proposed deals with the analysis of a passage from Constantine Kostenechki’s Tale describing the literary activity of Euthymius of Turnovo.

Новооткрит канон на Константин Преславски с тайнописно поетическо послание

Author(s): Georgi Popov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/1997

A newly discovered canon of Constantine of Preslav – a Christmas Canon, has been preserved in a Slavonic handwritten menaia of the 13th–15th с. This hymnographic work was drawn up after the mode l of the well-known iambic Christmas Canon of John of Damascus’. The hirmi of the work of John of Damascus’ were used as rhytm and melody models. Their text was in places reworked in order to preserve the dodeca syllable structure of the verses. The troparia are built on the same isosyllabic principle. Each contains five lines of 12 syllables. The initial letters of the verses (120 in all) form an Old Bulgarian acrostic with the name of the author and a poetic triplet message to the newly converted Slavs. The recently discovered Christmas Canon confirms the conclusion about the joint literary activity of the Cyrillo-Methodian disciples in the period immediately after their arrival in Bulgaria (886). It is a new proof of the great poetic gift of Constantine of Preslav and one of the greatest achievements of Old Bulgarian literature of the „Golden Century“.

Композиция на неделните служби в Солунския октоих

Author(s): Marija Jovčeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/1997

The article examines the Sunday services in the Salonika Oktoechos (=Sal) in comparison with the Slavonic manuscript oktoechoses from the 12th to the 15th с. and also with early editions of the book. The aim is to look for data on the localization and chronology of the manuscript according to the contents and structuring of the hymnographic material. Although the Sunday services in the examined monument show variations in comparison with the other written sources, some tendencies may be outlined and the archaic components be distinguished from the later redactions. In the components of the service, where the Slavonic tradition is unified although different from the oktoechoses produced later and the printed editions (kathismata, hypakoi, kontakia and oikoi), Sal follows it fully. In the parts where the early codices show lack of unification (vespers) of all the examined old oktoechoses Sal stands closest to the printed editions. In the components which vary in the early Slavonic practice and at the same time do not agree with the printed codices, Sal resembles Bitolski, Karansebeshki and Barberinski oktoechos. The contents of the evening section in the oktoechos under review reflects a later redaction of the Studian Typik, influenced by the rules of the Typik of Jerusalem. The closeness of Sal to the oktoechoses defined by the scholars as East Bulgarian (Bitolski, Karansebeshki and partly Zagrebski) indirectly leads to the conclusion that it was created in a literary centre in Eastern Bulgaria, not excluding the probability of the manuscript having emerged in some of the Athonite monasteries. The inferences drawn and the facts presented bear witness to the dating of Sal not later than the end of the 13th с.

Чудовская и Оксфордская редакции индекса ложных книг, приписываемого митрополитам Киприану и Зосиме

Author(s): Natalja Kobjak / Language(s): Russian Issue: 4/1997

In the paper are investigated problems concerning the 14th с. version of the List of the prohibited books, which was spread out in Russian copies. The first group of the copies are related to a common origin, presented in a manuscript of Chudov’s collection, N 269 from the forties of the 15th c., State Historical Museum, Moscow. In the text are reflected characteristics, which are connected with the activity of Metropolitan Kiprijan – rearrangements of the contents of the list (addition to the names of the prohibited books) and some changes in the description of the liturgical practice. The analysis of this group of copies bears out that Metropolitan Zosima is not the author of this version. Liturgical and church rules in this version are paralleled to the works of the Russian Metropolitan Fotij (1410–1431). In the text of the other group, with the earliest copy in MS N 112 from the Bodleian Library, Oxford, also has been cited the Prayer-book of Metropolitan Kiprijan, but the witness continued a written tradition which is based on the compilation (probably Russian). This version is not connected directly with Chudov’s version, or with its protograph. Two versions are witnesses of a new edition of the List in the 14th с. with very interesting revisions in the text due to a new mentality in Russia in the end of the 14th – the first half of the 15th с.

Глазатые?

Author(s): Rostislav Stankov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 3/1997

The paper deals with the word глазатые (barbarian tribe of Blemmyes) that occurs in the Slavonic translation of the Prologue. The word is often considered as evidence for the Russian origin of the Slavonic translation of the Prologue. Two hypotheses are suggested: (1) in the primary text of the Slavonic translation of the Prologue there was another word (probably главатые ’those whose body is as head’) later on substituted for глазатые on Russian soil; (2) in the primary text of the translation there was the word глазатые (глазитые) with an obscure meaning of the root. (1) it shows a semantic connection with the Blemmyes’ description in old Latin sources, but does not explain the occurrence of the word глазатые in South-Slavonic copies of the Prologue, where Russian features could be met only in texts about East-Slavonic saints. (2) suggests that глазатые (or глазитые) was used with some archaic meaning of the root which for lack of lexical data cannot be defined (probably its meaning is ’cruel (people)’. It is of great importance that in original Bulgarian Story about Zograph monastery’s martyrs occurs the form глазитые and also that in Bulgarian there are some words with the same root as in глазатые (глаз ’big stone’, hydronym Глазне and anthroponyms Глазо, Глазов). This means that the word глазатые in the Slavonic translation of the Prologue cannot be considered specifically Russian.

Проблеми на имената с nt-основи в старобългарски език

Author(s): Anna-Maria Totomanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/1997

The paper explores the form корѧте gen. sg. which can be seen on f. 7v in Vat.-gr. 2502 – the famous palimpsest of the Vatican. The existence of such a form seems plausible especially when connected with корѧ nom.sg. that is well known in the Old Russian manuscripts, copied from the relevant Old Bulgarian books. This means that the type of nt-stems could include not only nouns whose meaning is ‘names of little animals’ what is usually thought but also just diminutives produced freely from any other noun.

За преписите на Завета на св. Йоан Рилски

Author(s): Snežana Penčeva,Nikolai Nikolov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/1997

In the paper an attempt has been made for the reception of the Testament of St John of Rila throughout the different cultural-historical epochs to be followed by means of an inner textological analysis. The text of the Testament is conventionally divided into two parts: deductive and narrative. We assume that the deductive part is authentic. It is a precept of the most condensed type to the monks, and it is known from the instructions of the early Christian fatherpriests. We think that the narrative part was created at a later stage after the well-known passional of the saint so that the Testament could be legitimized and connected with an undoubted authority.

Гръцкият протограф на Ерминията на Захарий Петрович

Author(s): Emanuel Mutafov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/1997

For the first time in the literature on this subject the author announces, that the protograph of Zacharji Petrovich’s Hermenia is the Greek manuscript Gr. 381 in Research Centre for Slavo-Byzantine Studies „Ivan Dujčev”, which is a 19th century transcription of an unknown Hermenia of Christophor Zefarovich. After making a short analysis the author points out, that in the same period (1810–1838) we have three transcriptions of the same Zefarovich’s prototype in Macedonia and in South-West Bulgaria. The fact that the famous Dionysius’s of Fourna Hermenia came to Bulgaria mostly in Russian translations, is the second reason why the author makes the assumption that we have “a Slavonic art-technological revolution” by the “westernization” in the technological parts of the icon-painting guides. This is an important aspect of the struggle for an independent Bulgarian Church.
