A LATE WITNESS TO THE EARLY TEXT OF THE OLD SLAVIC ACTS
Abstract
It is known that a later manuscript may contain an earlier text-type. Collation of Hilandar 73, an Old Slavic manuscript of the Serbian recension against several witnesses of the eleventh - fifteenth centuries revealed this very phenomenon. While
the original fourteenth-century part of Hilandar 73 contains the text of the continuous Apostolos of the later redaction, the manuscript’s seventeenth-century supplement part displays the lectionary text of Acts 1:1-8:17 in the earlier text-type, similar to that of the
earliest known Old Slavic manuscripts. This observation is demonstrated by comparing the text of Hilandar 73 in its supplement part with the texts of the earlier and later witnesses. Thus, Hilandar 73 contributes to the corpus of witnesses of the textual tradition that stands closer to the original text of the Old Slavic Version.
