The article analyzes the archaic linguistic features of the Old Bulgarian translation of the apocryphal Journey of Agapius to Paradise (The Narration of our father Agapius). Examples demonstrating a literal translation from Greek and the difficulties experienced by translators are considered. In the language of the monument, attention is drawn to the features inherent in the entire Old Bulgarian period, for example, the use of uncontracted forms of imperfect and adjectives, the primordal forms of participles on *-ius-, as well as to some unique lexemes. The handwritten tradition of the Narration of Agapius also reflects a number of features characteristic of the earliest stage of Bulgarian writing (late 9th – early 10th century), in particular the use of a root aorist. Especially important are the examples that testify to the glagolitic nature of the initial translation.

This artile examines Old Testament saints present in menologia of cyrillic early printed Tetraevangelia, i.e., books issued in the 16th–18th centuries. Only twenty-seven Old Testament figures mentioned by name and three groups of saints can be found in the fixed liturgical calendar of cyrillic early printed Tetraevangelia. Three prophets, Elisseus, Elias and Daniel, together with the Three Holy Youths, as well as Forefathers, Fathers and Seven Maccabean Martyr Brothers, are present in all cyrillic early printed Tetraevangelia. Prophet Malachi is missing in all Lviv and the fourth Vilnius editions, while two prophets, Jeremiah and Moses, are absent in all eleven South Slavonic cyrillic early printed Tetraevangelia. Six minor prophets, together with Samuel and Righteous Job, were introduced with the inclusion of the full menologion in the Moscow cyrillic early printed Tetraevangelion issued in 1653. Four prophets (Isaiah, Sophonias, Nahum and Micah) can be found in some editions printed before 1653. Six other Old Testament figures, Solomonia and Eleazar, Jonah, Zachariah, Ezekiel and Jesus of Navi, were introduced into Moscow cyrillic early printed Tetraevangelia issued in the 1680s. The last four saints occurred for the last time in 1694. The results obtained in this research have proven that liturgical tradition reflected in menologia of cyrillic early printed Tetraevangelia was not homogeneous nor stable but was subject to change. Old Testament saints are present in menologia of cyrillic early printed Tetraevangelia, but they are overshadowed by New Testament and other figures commemorated by the Orthodox Church.

The present paper offers a fresh insight into the decipherment, the meaning, and the linguistic features of a Middle Bulgarian inscription, which has todate mostly eluded the attention of scholars. It is to be found on folio 37v of the Greek Manuscript Vat. gr. 353, a Lectionary of the Gospels in liturgical majuscule script that can be dated on paleographic grounds to the mid 10th century. The author rejects Dujčev’s 1966 interpretation by offering a completely different reading of some crucial parts of the text and a new commented edition. Far from being a contract between a widow in financial difficulties and an anonymous priest, to whom she would have allegedly given her son in exchange for a field as well as for material goods (fabrics and food), the inscription would instead be a transfer deed (barter agreement) between a father, Dobryna, and his son, the priest Aspion. The study furthermore offers a series of grammatical and lexical remarks on the text, focusing in particular on the use of loanwords from Greek, that are shown to be the consequence of language contact between Byzantine Greek and Middle Bulgarian in the Balkans. The linguistic and paleographic features of the inscription, as well as its comparison with a number of Middle Bulgarian documents (“gramoti”), enable us to date it to a period no later than the first half of the 13th century and to consider it to be of West Bulgarian origin.

The article focuses on an excerpt from the Encomium on the Resurrection of Lazarus by Clement of Ohrid interpolated in the Old Bulgarian translation of John Chrysostom’s Εἰς τὸν τετραήμερον Λάζαρον. βʹ in its Serbian copy in ms НИМ24 from the fourteenth century. The text of the excerpt contains some archaic features at all linguistic levels. The comparative analysis of the excerpt from Clement’s Encomium on the Resurrection of Lazarus in НИМ24 and the earliest extant copy in ms F. п. I. 46 from the twelfth century reveals that the excerpt in НИМ24 has been copied from a very early antigraph. As a whole, the archaic linguistic characteristics of the excerpt in the two copies outline more clearly the archetype of the Encomium on the Resurrection of Lazarus by Clemet of Ohrid. The concrete facts reconfirm the opinion that the later copies of early antigraphs are a reliable source for the attribution of Old Bulgarian original and translated works.

The article examines a short extensive report in the 16th-century Belyakovets’ Chronicle (NLCM 309), which combines prophesies and facts. The information, which has not been a subject of a special study so far, tells of an eclipse and a comet as harbingers of the death of Prince Lazar Hrebeljanović in the battle of Kosovo. Some of the information is contained in other short chronicles but the prophesy is not derived from them. The note uses hagiographic works as a source, including the Lives of Lazar Hrebeljanović and of Stefan Lazarević. The supplement shows the attitude of the writer, who seeks to enrich the text and looks for the reasons for the described events. It is also a testimony to the dynamics of the Bulgarian-Serbian literary relations and to the respect for the Serbian saints, conceived as martyrs for the faith.

The article is dedicated to the enigmatic pretender to the Bulgarian throne, known from the documents of the Kingdom of Anjou in Naples as “Ludovico, son of the glorious emperor of Bulgaria... our dear nephew”. His personality has been commented on by a whole host of historians from the time of Du Cange to the present day. In 2011, I. Mlajov published a contribution study in which he has mentioned the last known historical source on the matter. The present article introduces another historical source for this Ludovico, attested in the calendar of the Metropolitan Church of Siena (Cod. 187 (A.VI.14, f. 56v–57v) of the Municipal Library of Siena) and its revisions known as the Siena Chronicles.

In Bulgarian historiography a thesis has been maintained that during the First Tarnovo Uprising, which broke out in 1598, the inhabitants of the old Bulgarian capital of Tarnovo had proclaimed an imaginary descendant of the Shishman dynasty under the name of Shishman III as a tsar. In other cases, this person is identified with Theodore Balina. This article aims to prove that these conclusions are not based on any scientific evidence, but are a the result of a series of misunderstandings and errors that have been reproduced to our own day.
