Slavic Epitome Of The Treatise “Ἑρμηνεία περὶ τοῦ θείου ναοῦ” By St. Symeon Of Thessalonica In Mss Rgada 88 And Bogišić 52. Principles Of Text Condensation

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article sets out the principles of abbreviation applied by the South Slavic translator who compiled the summary translation Протль(к) лу(т)ргїи, и црк҃ви, и чинꙋ сщ҃енничьскомꙋ of the treatise “ Ἑρμηνεία περὶ τοῦ θείου ναοῦ” by St. Symeon of Thessalonica, known today by two transcripts – RGADA 88 and Bogišić 52. The comparison with the Greek text shows that the entire text of St. Symeon’s “Interpretation of the Temple” undergoes a systematic condensation at both macro and micro textual levels. The condensation is tied to the goals set by the translator. For purely practical reasons, he reduced the text of the treatise to a minimum, preserving only the most important and unambiguous explanations of the liturgical sequence, of the parts of the church building, of the liturgical utensils and vestments. However, additional reflections, alternative interpretations and a large part of the quotations from the Holy Scriptures and the liturgical books were removed. This gives reason to define the liturgical interpretation from RGADA 88 and Bogišić 52 as an epitome of its Byzantine source – the treatise “ Ἑρμηνεία περὶ τοῦ θείου ναοῦ” by St. Symeon of Thessalonica, its concise summary.
