Prefaces to the Gospels by Blessed Theophylact, Archbishop of Bulgaria, in early printed Cyrillic Tetraevangelia from Lviv

Abstract

This article is devoted to the textual study of the Prefaces to the Gospels by Blessed Theophylact, Archbishop of Bulgaria, in early printed Cyrillic liturgical Tetraevangelia published in Lviv. Analysis of these four short texts preceding each Gospel proves that all the Tetraevangelia from Lviv had been subject to minor editing, most obvious in the editions published by Mykhailo Slozka. All textual variants that are characteristic to the Tetraevangelia from Lviv are presented in this article.
