Summary/Abstract: The article deals with textual features of five Menologies as a part of so-called Great Horologia of the 15th century. The division of these Menologies into two groups is established. The first group reflects the features of the Menologies that go back to the Russian translation of the Jerusalem Typicon of the middle of the 14th century. The manuscripts of this group come from the greatest monastic centers, namely the Trinity Lavra of St Sergius and the St Joseph’s Monastery near Volok Town. They show that the older Russian translation of the Jerusalem Typicon, in its complete form known in the only two manuscripts, had a greater distribution in Russia than was previously believed. The Menology of the printed Horologion published by Schweipolt Fiol in 1491 attests to the prominence of the older Russian translation of the Jerusalem Typicon in Western Russia as well. The second group goes back to the late Russian version of the Jerusalem Typicon of 67 chapters. This version supersedes the Menology of the older Russian translation of the Jerusalem Typicon in the 16th century.
