ON THE HISTORY OF GREEK PROPHETOLOGION Q 12 FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES LIBRARY

Abstract:
The paper attempts to clarify the history of the Greek Prophetologion Q 12 from the collection
of the Russian Academy of Sciences Library (BAN). The study is based on the investigation of paper
with watermark “Cross” dated to the second half of the 14th century. The Greek Parimiynik (or
Prophetologion) from the Collection of Foreign Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Library Q 12 is a paper manuscript of the 13th century containing Alanic marginal notes written
with Greek characters. Alexander Lubotsky’ and other authors’ articles, first of all, focus on the study
of the Alanic marginal notes. We have no information on the provenance of manuscript itself or on
its existence as a monument of writing. Before the restoration in 1964 the manuscript contained
the main manuscript of the 13th century and so‑called “attachment sheets” of the 14th century. The
manuscript was acquired in 1862, and that time it already included these additional texts written on
the paper of the 14th century. Based on watermark observations, it can be assumed that paper with
watermark “Cross” of the second half of the 14th century was used in the region where the ancient
Slavic codices coexisted with the Greek ones, but in the 19th century it have lost their meaning. This
region could be northern Greece and, above all, Mount Athos. In our manuscript to Prophetologion
of the 13th century (Q 12) was added the Triodion of the 14th century (Q 12a), which may had been
written at Mount Athos or close to Mount Athos. These observations do not give us any reason to link
the manuscript Q 12 with Mount Athos, but we cannot deny such possibility either.
Keywords: Greek manuscripts, Prophetologion, Triodion, Alanian marginal notes.
