Notes on the Contents of Three Manuscripts from the National Library in Sofia: Enina Apostolos, Shopov-Karadimov Psalter and Sofia Apostolos

Summary/Abstract: The paper studies three of the most important manuscripts of the medieval Bulgarian cultural heritage kept in the National Library in Sofia, namely, Enina Apostolos (NBKM 1144), Shopov-Karadimov Psalter (NBKM 454 & 1138) and Sofia Apostolos (NBKM 882). While considering the contents and the composition of the three codices, the paper discusses the contents of their possible precursors that could help the precise dating and localizing of the manuscripts. It also studies them with the preservation of the tradition in early liturgical calendar and texts from the (ninth) tenth to fourteenth centuries in mind. The paper deliberates on the possible origin of the explanatory texts attached to calendar dates. Finally, it discusses (e) the revisions, the editorial changes in the contents and the composition of the texts in the macro-generic structure of “the Psalter with addenda.” These manuscripts are crucial for the study of the compilation and the composition of Slavonic liturgical books and their Byzantine sources. At this stage, their contents should be studied in detail with the application of new methods, available to the modern scholarship.
