Summary/Abstract: The study aims at a description of editorial publishing of the material of two very close parallels to the Old Church Slavonic translation of Forty Gospel Homilies by the pope Gregory the Great (Besědy na evangelije). The edited texts are: the Latin text of manuscript IV.D.7 (Břevnov Monastery, middle of the 11th century) and manuscript A 130 (Freising, last quarter of the 9th century, now kept in Bohemia). The texts are very topical, having been introduced to the Slavonic studies community only recently. The evidence of two early medieval Latin manuscripts related to Bohemia is a welcome starting point for analysing the relationship between the Slavonic version and its Latin original. A published edition of the two manuscripts will introduce the closest Latin text to Besědy na evangelije.
