About the Composition of Two Manuscripts Containing the Prologue in Verse for the Whole Year

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the composition of two South Slavic manuscripts, containing a Prologue in verse for the whole year from the collections of the Zograf Monastery (Zogr. 47), and the Rila Monastery (RM 2/20). Both manuscripts were created approximately at the same time – the first half of the 16th century. The first manuscript was written by Joan Milosev and his brother Nikola, and the second – by hieromonk Spiridon in the Rila Monastery. The content of the two manuscripts was compared with the twelve volume issue of the Turnovo version of the Prologue in verse. As a result, it was found that they belonged to this redaction, but in their creation they used different sources. While Zogr. 47 strictly follows the composition of the Tarnovo redaction, in PM 2/20 there is a significant number of abbreviated prologue texts. This is shown in the Appendix, where the missing and added texts in both manuscripts are indicated. The observations on the composition of the both year-round manuscripts of the Prologue in verse have their place in the studies of the history of the origin and distribution of this hagiographic collection in the Bulgarian, Serbian and Russian literature.
