Summary/Abstract: The Old Bulgarian hymnographic office for St. Clement of Ohrid is usually ascribed to an anonymous disciple of St. Clement himself. In 2000, B. Mircheva demonstrated that the composition contains some remnants of an original Slavonic acrostic in the first part of its canon, but her observation was not generally accepted. The author attempts to fully reconstruct the acrostic and argues that it contains some remnants of the name Constantin in its final part. The reconstruction is based on typological comparison with the two canons (for St. Methodius of Moravia and St. Michael the Archangel) known to be compiled by Constantin of Preslav and bearing his name in their acrostics.
