К вопросу о соотношении текстов Новгородской и Устюжской Кормчих книг
On the Correlation of Texts of Novgorod and Ustyug Kormchajas knig

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of the textual and linguistic features of the penitentiary texts contained in two Kormčie: the Novgorod Kormčaja 1282 (GIM, Synodal Collection, № 132) and Ustjug Kormčaja (RSL, Rumjancev Collection № 230, 13th–14th century). The penitential texts “The Typikon of the Monastery of St John of Pantelleria”, the penitential rules of Basil the Great and of Theodore Studite (“O ostanceh cerkovnyh”) and “Rules for Monks” are examined. It is noted that all these texts were given in both Kormčie in the same translations; however, their texts were edited to various degrees, including language. It is concluded that, when examining a Kormčaja, it is necessary to take into account the heterogeneity of its composition and to carry out the analysis not comprehensively, but article by article. As a result of the study, it can be said that the texts of some penitential texts are presented in an older version in the Ustjug Kormčaja, and others indicate the archaic version in the Novgorod-Varsonof’ev group.
