Codex Marianus
The Codex Marianus is an illustrated manuscript in Old Church Slavonic in Glagolitic script, probably from the early 11th century. It contains the incomplete text of the four Gospels of the New Testament from Matt. 5.23 to Joh. 21.7. 174 sheets of parchment have been preserved, with colored miniatures of the evangelists Mark , Luke and John . Sheet 134 was replaced in the 14th century in Cyrillic script . The script is similar to the Codex Zographensis and the Codex Assemanius , so it is assumed that it originated in Macedonia ( Ohrid School ). Some linguistic peculiarities show old Serbian influences.
172 sheets were found in 1844/45 by the Russian Slavist Viktor Iwanowitsch Grigorowitsch in the Marienkloster on Mount Athos . Today they are in the Russian State Library in Moscow , signature Григ. 6 / Муз. 1689.
Two sheets of paper had previously been found by the Croatian diplomat Antun Mihanović. These are now in the Austrian National Library in Vienna , signature Cod. Slav. 146.
