Unpublished Inscriptions Related to the Scene of the As-sumption of the Virgin Mary in the Kremikovtsi Monastery in the Context of Monu-mental Painting in the Balkans until the End of the 15th Century

Summary/Abstract: The article examines unpublished inscriptions from the Kremikovtsi Monastery (1493) related to the scene of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Two of them, placed on the scrolls of St. John of Damascus and St. Kosmas the Hymnographer, present parts of the two canons for the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The presence of the two poets at the Assumption is attested in several medieval monuments on the territory of Bulgaria. The specific thing about Kremikovtsi Monastery is that their images are placed below the composition with the Assumption, and not, as is usual, on both sides of it. Examples of this specific version of the scene with the presence of the two hymnographers in it in the monumental painting of the Balkans until the end of the 15th century are also examined. The publication also examines three inscriptions on the images of prophets, two of which are also related to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary – under kings David and Solomon.
