The Old Prints of Cyrillic Lectionaries in the Light of Church Slavonic Tradition
Jerzy Ostapczuk
Abstract
This article is devoted the church Slavonic tradition of the lectionaries.
After introductory information about the number of the catalogued
manuscripts of the Gospel(-Apostol) aprakoses, their popularity in different
centuries (up to XVI c.) and the preliminary number of the printed Cyrillic
books of the New Testament, very rare Apostol-Evangelistary old books of
Slavonic tradition (in XVI-XIX c.) are described. Old printed Cyrillic
lectionaries were issued in: 1620 (in Uherce (close to Lvov)), 1640 (in
Luck), 1706 (in Lvov) and 1707 (in Kiev). First three of them are Saturday-
Sunday Apostol-Gospel aprakoses, and the fourth is the full Gospel
lectionary. These old printed books are very interesting form textological
and liturgical point of view and deserve more detailed research.
