The work presents survey of Church Slavonic hymnographic compositions dedicated to Angels. All basic liturgical cycles in which the angelologic subject matter is brought up have been reviewed – especially weekly liturgical cycle (Mondays) and the yearly one (8 XI, 6 IX, 26 III, 13 VII). Aside from texts used currently in Slavonic local Orthodox Churches and translated from the Greek language, there are presented here compositions dedicated to Archangels written by Slavonic authors (Anonym, Clement of Ochrid and Constantine of Preslav of ninth/tenth century, Simeon of fourteenth century).
