Summary/Abstract: This paper is a critical edition of the paschal table from the trebnik (euchologion) belonging to the manuscript collection of the Patriarchate of Peć (Peć № 76, from the 15th century), for the period 1416/1417–1432/33. The main feature of this source is specific selection of the individual paschal elements and feasts. Segmentation of time of the first half of the year is represented by the dates of Christmas, Meatfare Day (Mesopust), Annunciation, Easter, St. George's Day, Sunday of All Saints or St. Peter's Meatfare Day and St. Peter's Day. The Feasts from the paschal table also represent the milestones of social time, whose intervals were calculated by counting weeks and days. The paschal table includes four leap years 1420, 1424, 1428 and 1432, and calculations are correct and in accordance with the corresponding paschal letter for each year. Certain discrepancies found two times in the text are to be understood as miswriting, because all the other paschal elements are presented correctly.
