Volume I is an annotated transcription edition of the manuscript. Volume II is a comprehensive introduction and commentary volume analyzing its linguistic, orthographic, and textual features.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Curzon Gospel c. 1354, is important both for the study of the development of\u003cbr\u003e\nthe Bulgarian language and for understanding the medieval Slavic tradition of Gospel transmission. Unlike most medieval Slavic manuscripts, it is reliably datable and serves as a chronological reference\u003cbr\u003e\npoint for other gospel manuscripts. Professor Vakareliyska's annotated transcription edition includes modern chapter and verse numeration and a line-by-line comparison of the text with a corpus of twelve other Church Slavonic manuscripts. It has an index verborum of all orthographic and morphological forms in the text and their locations. Professor Vakareliyska has written and designed her commentary volume for a general audience of linguists, medievalists, Byzantinists, and Church historians.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe examines the Curzon Gospel's close relationship to the thirteenth and fourteenth-century Dobreisho and Banitsa gospels and, by comparing the three manuscripts, offers a broad reconstruction of\u003cbr\u003e\ntheir common ancestor. She includes a detailed discussion of the Curzon Gospel's calendar of saints, discussing its relation to the tenth-century Constantinople Typikon and Latin martyrologies, and its implications for the understanding of the medieval Slavic calendar tradition. The book is fully indexed.\u003cbr\u003e\nThese volumes offer a unique resource for the study of the medieval Church Slavonic language and Gospel tradition, and the veneration of saints in the Slavic Eastern\u003cbr\u003e\nOrthodox tradition. Cynthia Vakareliyska's work will be treasured by generations of scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826042679515,"sku":"9780199216796","price":300.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7f291c3a-7ee1-4ee7-af46-fed2360e6781.jpg?v=1780311486","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780199216796-the-curzon-gospel-volume-i-an-annotated-edition-volume-ii-a","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
