Славяно-гръцкият речник от Църковнославянската христоматия на Неофит Рилски (Цариград, 1852 г.)
The Slavonic-Greek Dictionary in the Church-Slavonic Reader by Neophytos of Rila (1852)

Summary/Abstract: THE SLAVONIC-GREEK DICTIONARY IN THE CHURCH-SLAVONIC READER BY NEOPHYTOS OF RILA (1852) KONSTANTINOS NIXORITIS (FLORINA) (S u m m a r y) After the foundation of the Theological school of Halki (1844) language courses were taught, such as Latin, Hebrew, Armenian, Arabian and Slavic. In order to facilitate the learning of Slavic, with the help of the rector, metropolitan Konstantinos Typaldos (1844–1865), teachers prepared various textbooks and translations that were used not only there, but also in other schools in the Slavic provinces. Leaning on his long pedagogical practice and his literary activities Neophytos of Rilla (teacher at Halki), created a remarkable textbook, namely the “Reader of Slavonic Language”, accompanied by a Slavonic-Greek dictionary which included the words from the Reader. The richness of words, the accuracy of expressions and the historical and philological value of the interpretative explanations inside this book make it unique for the Orthodox world and equally valuable for both the Greeks and the Slavs (Bulgarians, Serbs, and Russians). According to Ljubomir Miletich, “the dictionary as a whole demonstrates the originality of Neophytos’ work as a scholar, which even today (1906) does not lack historical and philological value in the Slavic literature”.
