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.
