The Apostolus Christinopolitanus and the Text of the Old Slavic Apostolus: The Lessons for Saturday and Sunday of Weeks 10-20 after Pentecost

Author Institution: University of AmsterdamSee also: The Old Slavic Apostolos: The Lessons of the Short Lectionary from Pentecost to Great Lent and the Abstracts of the Epistles / academisch proefschrift ter verkrijging van de graad van doctor aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam [...] door Johannes G. van der Tak (Amsterdam: s.n., 1999).This paper offers the critical text of the ‘Lectionary core’ of the Old Slavic Apostolus. It is established on the basis of a critical recension of some twenty manuscripts of various dates and origins. The publication aims at several goals, the most important being to clarify the position of the Apostolus Christinopolitanus in the textual tradition of the Slavic Apostolus. The second goal is to show how, by the use of modern technology as well as proven scientific methods from adjacent disciplines, like Classics and Theology, a scientifically sound and yet accessible text of the Slavic Version of the New Testament can be produced. The third is to shift the accent in the treatment of manuscripts by Slavists from the ‘monument’ they constitute towards the text they contain. My last goal is to provoke reactions from the scientific communities of Slavists as well as Bible scholars on such an approach to the Slavic Version of the New Testament

Author Institution: University of AmsterdamThis paper gives a text-critical appraisal of the Apostolos and Gospel lections contained in the Euchologium Sinaiticum on the basis of collations with other Glagolitic and Cyrillic manuscripts. It also tries to shed some light on the history of the Euchologium Sinaiticum and to give recommendations for a critical edition of the Old Slavic New Testament

Leccionarios de los Evangelios árabes en el Sinaí

Recent studies grouping Arabic Gospel manuscripts into families by Valentin (2003) and Kashouh (2012) have excluded lectionaries. This restriction in scope is understandable but it means that the use of these translations in Arabic Christian worship remains to be explored. A full study of all the surviving Arabic Gospel lectionaries is clearly desirable. This study seeks to provide a small step in that direction by grouping the Arabic Gospel lectionaries currently held at St. Catherine’s monastery at Sinai into their own families according to their types and textual affinities. Twelve distinct families are distinguished and in many instances their sources from families of continuous-text Arabic Gospel manuscripts are identified.Estudios recientes de Valentin (2003) y Kashouh (2012) han agrupado los manuscritos árabes de los Evangelios por familias pero han excluido los leccionarios. Esta restricción en contexto puede entenderse pero significa que el uso de estas traducciones en el culto árabe cristiano deben ser exploradas. Resulta necesario un estudio completo de todos los leccionarios árabe de los Evangelios. Este estudio pretende ser un pequeño paso en esa dirección para agrupar los leccionarios árabes de los Evangelios conservados en el monasterio de Santa Catalina del Sinaí en sus propias familias de acuerdo a su tipología textual y afinidad. Se han determinado doce familias diferentes y, en muchos casos, sus fuentes son familias de textos manuscritos continuos de los Evangelios en árabe que han sido identificadas
