Traces of Andrew of Caesarea’s Commentary in the Bosnian Mediaeval Text of the Book of Revelation

Summary/Abstract: Mediaeval Slavic literature contained two traditions of the translation of the Book of Revelation – one with and one without commentary. The oldest surviving Slavic examplar dates to the 13th century and it already contains the interpretative text (Nikolsky Collection Manuscript No. 1, BAN St. Petersburg). Copies with the commentary disseminated amongst the East Slavs initially contained an abridged version of Andrew of Caesarea’s commentary. While these are therefore the oldest extant examplars, philological research has revealed evidence of even earlier textological and linguistic characteristics in the later South Slavic examples without commentary.
