Zlatostruj – a comparative study of Greek and Slavonic texts

Many thanks to Aneta Dimitrova (“St. Kliment Okhridski” Sofia University, Bulgaria) for sending us a copy of her latest publication on the Picture of the book cover : bright yellow with some images from medieval Slavic manuscripts on it - a bird perched on the dark blue rectangle where the author and title are provided in white letters; and a circle of two blue & yellow fish form a circle in the lower half of the front cover. Zlatostruj/Chrysorrhoas Collection in the translation activity of Old Bulgarian writers: Златоструят в преводаческата дейност на старобългарските книжовници (София: Авалон, 2016). The HRL/RCMSS provided copies of Hilandar Monastery’s Slavic Manuscripts 382 and 386, which are, of course, included in the study.

As noted in the English summary of Dimitrova’s monograph(450): “There are three appendices in the book. Appendix 1 is a list of examples for various approaches of translation …. Appendix 2 contains tables with the total number of correspondences for each type of the Greek syntactical constructions with a definite article. Appendix 3 consists of two glossaries – Slavonic-Greek with about 1430 words and Greek-Slavonic with more than 1280 words, selected in the course of the work.”

Конференцията е във връзка с изследователски проект „Реконструкция на преславските агиографски сборници: издание и изследване на Станиславовия чети-миней” (ДМУ 03/19), финансиран от Фонд „Научни изследвания” към МОНМ.
*Reconstruction of the Preslav Hagiographical Collections: Study and Publication of the Stanislav’s Menologion” is the title of a project developed by a team of young Bulgarian medievalists. Its principal task is the preparation and publication (both digital and traditional) and research of Stanislav’s Menologion (better known as manuscript No. 1039 from the National Library in Sofia). It is one of the most valuable medieval Slavic manuscripts, preserved in the “St. St. Cyril and Methodius“ National Library. Stanislav’s Menologion is significant because, although it is a 14th-century copy, it preserves a number of archaic texts that allow us to reconstruct faithfully the original contents of menologia that were compiled and translated during the Golden Age of medieval Bulgarian literature and culture.
