Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the only known Slavic copy of the Psalter (No. 13 in the Cyril and Methodius National Library in Sofia) in which 120 selected fragments of the exegesis on the psalms by Hesychius of Jerusalem (also ascribed to Pseudo-Athanasius) are written in the margins of the text and marked with specific symbols. These exegetic texts are published alongside with the Psalter text to which they pertain. Comparisons of the differences with other copies of the Psalter (the 13th-century Psalterium Bononiense, Pogodin’s Psalter of the same period, the Sofia Psalter of 1337 and the Bucharest Psalter of the 14th century) are made. The study of the Psalter under discussion and its peculiarities contribute to enriching the history of Slavic Psalters and Slavic exegetic books.
