Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the cycle of 12 homilies presumed to be the work of Clement of Ohrid and included in the 17th centur MS miscellany of homilies on Lent and Pentecost. This MS (a version of the medieval miscellany known as “Zlatoust”) was found during the field expedition in the Nizhny Novgorod region and is for the first time introduced to scholarly attention. The article examines the composition of the cycle and compares it to the traditional model of “Zlatoust”. It is found that the cycle of Clement’s texts in our MS is broader than that of traditional model. Analysis is also made of the editorial features of the homiletical cycle showing that while the traditional version of “Zlatoust” includes the so-called secondary redactions, our miscellany contains a number of homilies typical of the primary redaction. It is also shown that one of the homilies (on the 3rd Sunday of Great Lent) was part of a special and previously unknown redaction, and that the compiler undertook his own stylistic work on the homilies. The article compares extensive fragments from our MS with the Clement’s homilies from other published editions.
