- The first full publication of Curzon Gospel, transliterated and annotated
- Introduction and commentary accessibly presented for historians and theologians
- Contains a complete index verborum of all orthographic and morphological forms
- An essential tool for the study of medieval Slavic
- Offers unique insights into the history of the Eastern Orthodox Church
This pioneering work introduces and presents the first full publication of the text of an unusual fourteenth-century Bulgarian gospel manuscript known as the Curzon Gospel. Volume I is an annotated transcription edition of the manuscript. Volume II is a comprehensive introduction and commentary volume analyzing its linguistic, orthographic, and textual features.
The Curzon Gospel c. 1354, is important both for the study of the development of the Bulgarian language and for understanding the medieval Slavic tradition of Gospel transmission. Unlike most medieval Slavic manuscripts, it is reliably datable and serves as a
chronological reference point for other gospel manuscripts. Professor Vakareliyska's annotated transcription edition includes modern chapter and verse numeration and a line-by-line comparison of the text with a corpus of twelve other Church Slavonic manuscripts. It has an index verborum of all orthographic and morphological forms in the text and their locations. Professor Vakareliyska has written and designed her commentary volume for a general audience of linguists, medievalists, Byzantinists, and Church historians. She examines the Curzon Gospel's close relationship to the thirteenth and fourteenth-century Dobreisho and Banitsa gospels and, by comparing the three manuscripts, offers a broad reconstruction of their common ancestor. She includes a detailed discussion of the Curzon Gospel's
calendar of saints, discussing its relation to the tenth-century Constantinople Typikon and Latin martyrologies, and its implications for the understanding of the medieval Slavic calendar tradition. The book is fully indexed.
These volumes offer a unique resource for the study of the medieval Church Slavonic language and Gospel tradition, and the veneration of saints in the Slavic Eastern Orthodox tradition. Cynthia Vakareliyska's work will be treasured by generations of scholars.Readership: Slavic and historical linguists, including those interested in the loss of grammatical case-marking and historical phonology; Byzantine, Slavic, and other medieval scholars; Church historians,
hagiologists and theologians working on the medieval Eastern Orthodox tradition of Gospel and calendar text transmission.

"the care with which Vakareliyska has structured the edition makes it an absolutely dependable tool
" - Alberto Alberti, University of Bologna "Without exaggeration, this edition can be called exemplary. It can serve as the standard for editions of medieval manuscripts, not only because it sets forth, in addition to the text, an index verborum and a thorough study of the manuscript, but also because the analysis is not simply a collection of observations, but is purposefully oriented toward the most important features of the manuscript.
" - Iskra Hristova-Shomova, Sofia University, writing for Scripta & e-Scripta "This edition, together with the analysis, will be very useful for all who study the Gospel text, for those who study Slavic calendars, and for specialists in the history of the Bulgarian language. It will be useful not only for its great informative value, but also methodologically, as a model edition and analysis of an ancient manuscript.
