Summary/Abstract: The textual tradition of the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel is examined in the article according to the three types of sources in which it was spread: the service Cyrillic books, the reading variant with or without interpretations and the Croatian Glagolitic missals and breviaries. From the data of some 40 manuscripts stem the following conclusions. First, the most stable core in the three traditions was made up of the readings designed for the Paschal Service, their text originating from the original Cyrillo-Methodian translation of the Prophetologion. Second, the service pericopes, used only by the Church of Rome, were translated later in the Croatian lands from Latin sources which contain quite a number of texts differing from the Vulgate. Third, both the comparison between the non-Prophetological parts from the Croatian Glagolitic books and from the Cyrillic reading miscellanies and also the linguistic peculiarities and the translator's methods reflected in the Book and in the interpretations to it, do not secure an indisputable argumentation of the agiographic proofs of a full Methodian translation of the book reviewed.
