Euchologium Sinaiticum
The Euchologium Sinaiticum Slavicum is an illuminated manuscript in Old Church Slavonic in Glagolitic script from the 11th century. It contains parts of the liturgy of John Chrysostom and Basil the Great , as well as prayers for various occasions. These are translations from Greek , from Latin ( Poenitentiale Merseburgense ) and possibly from Old High German . Some texts come from the Salzburg missionary work in Moravia and Pannonia in the 9th century . The manuscript probably originated in the Bulgarian Empire ( School of Preslav ?).
Today a total of 137 parchment leaves are known, about half of the original collection. In 1850 Archimandrite Porphyrios Uspenski found 109 leaves in St. Catherine's Monastery on the Sinai Peninsula . In 1975 another 28 sheets were found there during renovation work. 134 sheets are in the monastery today (call numbers Sinait. Slav. 37 and Slav. N / 1), two in the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg (call numbers Глаг.2 and Глаг.3), one in the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow (signature 24.4.8, фонд И. И. Срезневского).
