Recent acquisitions to the stacks of the Hilandar Research Library include two works devoted to Saints Cyril and Methodius, the Apostles to the Slavs.
Title page
The first, formerly held by the Litchfield Public Library in Litchfield, Minnesota, and offered to academic libraries courtesy of Gordon B. Anderson* is Památka roku slavnostního 1863 tisícileté památky obrácení národu českého na Moravě, Slovensku a v Čechách na křesťanství / Commemoration of the Millennial year 1863 Anniversary of the Christianization of the Czech People in Moravia, Slovakia and in the Czech Republic by J. Janata, Václav Šubert, and Heřman z Tardy, published in 1864 in Prague. The book commemorates the one thousandth anniversary of SS. Cyril and Methodius’ mission to Great Moravia. Written by priests, the book contains poems, a history of the conversion of the Western Slavs to Christianity which began in 863, a section devoted to the lives of Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius, as well as notes on the history of Protestantism in Bohemia, and a description of the most important events of the Evangelical Church in Bohemia in the year 1863. The publication is interesting from theological, historical as well as linguistic and literary perspectives.

Gift of Václav Čermák
The second publication, a gift of Václav Čermák from the Institute of Slavonic Studies of the Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic, is the bilingual Czech-English Cyril a Metoděj – doba, život, dílo / Cyril and Methodius – Their Era, Lives, and Work, published by Moravské zemské muzeum in Brno in 2013. Besides addressing the importance of the Cyrillo-Methodian mission and its immediate legacy, this work also focuses on reflections of the Cyrillo-Methodian traditions in Czech literature, theater, music, and society. The publication specifically examines Cyrillo-Methodian themes in modern Czech literature and in Czech folk culture. It offers insight into the long-lasting influence of the “Enlighteners of the Slavs” on the culture and society of Czechs and Moravians.

Aleksandra IUr’evna Nikiforova’s book, Iz istorii Minei v Vizantii: Gimnograficheskie pamiatniki VIII-XIi vv. iz sobraniia monastyria sviatoi Ekateriny na Sinae, focuses on the history of the Menaion liturgical book in Byzantium, specifically the hymnographical texts of the 8th-12th centuries from the manuscript collection of St. Catherine’s Monastery, Mount Sinai.
Moscow 2012
Nikiforova examines the Sinai Greek Tropologia and Menaia from the 8th-16th century, housed in both St. Catherine’s and in Moscow’s State Historical Museum and Russian State Library. Manuscripts from other Russian repositories, the Austrian National Library (Vienna) were also consulted, as were microfilms held in the Patristic Greek Institute (Vlatadon) in Thessaloniki of manuscripts from Philotheos Monastery on Mt. Athos.
Nikiforova’s book includes a preface, three chapters (“Menaia before Menaia: the Tropologia”; “The Birth of the Menaia: Sinaiticus gr. 607, 9th-10th cent.”;
“Menaia 9th-12th centuries”), and extensive appendices, such as a description of one of the early Greek Tropologia, the hymnographical texts found in a daily readings from a Menaion, and calendars of saints with information about the authors and hymnographers of Menaion texts.
Among the recently cataloged books for the Hilandar Research Library (HRL) is a title that was previously owned by a faculty member of The Ohio State University. From the collection of Charles E. Gribble, Professor Emeritus, Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures, comes the book ‘Pages of the Chronicle of Saratov,’* which gives a brief history of the city of Saratov, its historical significance, its administrative, urban and cultural growth, and brief sketches of individuals who had an impact on the city’s development.
Страницы летописи Саратова (Moscow, 1987)
The HRL has among its microform holdings 294 manuscripts from the collection of Saratov State University’s Research Library,** which has been a very fertile source for manuscript research since the HRL acquired the microfilms as part of a Title II-C grant of the National Education Act that was submitted in 1993-1994. Страницы летописи Саратова describes the establishment of the university, and the names of several individuals are referenced, who appear to be connected to the provenance of some of the Saratov manuscripts.
Researchers in the HRL have reported on the significance of the Saratov manuscripts in issues of the RCMSS/HRL newsletter Cyrillic Manuscript Heritage for a number of years. Here is a sample of some of the research:
