Summary/Abstract: Some special lexical doubletes from Christian terminology were recognized in the Old Slavonic monuments. Some of them were: ввседржитеив (Greek pavTOkpatrop) and ввсЕжогши (Latin omnipotens, but also Greek pavTofinvapog). Both of them were recorded in the Serbian Slavonic sources, as a proof of eastern and western influences. We have shown (in this theme) cultural and spiritual connections between the West and the Serbian (Nemanjic’s) state. On the other hand it is clear there are obvious links between the manuscript tradition from the Bosnia region and the East, in which it fits into common Serbian Slavonic, and further, in the Greek (Byzantine) heritage. We should not always, at any cost, locate the manuscripts, made in transitional eastern-western model, in the medieval Moravia or Bosnia. They could have arisen in an area of Serbian land in the narrow sense, or anywhere where Serbian Slavonic language was in use (Athos, Sinai etc).
