АВВА МАКАРИЙ И МАКАРИЙ РИМСКИ
ABBA MACARIUS AND MACARIUS THE ROMAN

Summary/Abstract: The original collection of 45 homilies by John Chrysostom included in Tsar Simeon the Great’s Zlatostruy concludes with Homily on the Departure of the Human Soul by Abba Macarius. This study traces the homily’s literary destiny outside Tsar Simeon’s Old Bulgarian anthology using two transcripts where Abba Macarius is identified with Macarius the Roman. We are led to the legend of St Macarius the Roman by the apocryphon Tale of Macaruis the Roman/Passional of Macarius the Roman, whose text is known in the Greek language and in an Old Bulgarian translation. Tale of a Miracle with Abba Macarius is inserted separately.
