Summary/Abstract: THE CALENDAR IN THE AVRAMOV SBORNIK HRISTINA TONCHEVA (PLOVDIV) (Summary) The Avramov Sbornik (MS 115 dating from 1674) is one of the finest manuscripts preserved in “Ivan Vazov” National Library, Plovdiv. A detailed Paschal Calendar in tabular form, which is uncommon for the Slavonic liturgical tradition, is recorded in this book. Different popular beliefs, predictions, recommendations about the consumption of appropriate food, as well as health-related prohibitions for every month are marked above most of the holidays. It is this unique Calendar that is examined in the article.
