THE VIDIN AND SERBIAN OFFICES FOR SAINT PETKA OF TURNOVO (PARASKEVE OF EPIBATAI) IN THE BULGARIAN AND SERBIAN LITERATURE IN THE 15th–17th CENTURIES
-
ABSTRACT
The article systematizes and compares the copiеs of two versions of the offices for Petka of Tarnovo (Paraskeve of Epibatai) in Bulgarian and Serbian literature from the 15th to the 17th century. The different editions of the two offices are presented, and based on a study of their composition and structure, it is concluded that their editions are clearly distinguished from each other, and may be to be defined as separate offices. The Vidin office is preserved in copies and editions that occurred in the Vlachian-Moldovan principality, in the Kingdom of Poland and in Russia, while the Serbian office is missing from the manuscripts in the repositories of these lands (i.e. outside the territory of Bulgaria and Serbia). This leads to the assumption that Gregory Tsamblak, who established the cult of the Saint in the northeastern Slavic lands with an Orthodox Christian population, introduced the Vidin office into the liturgy, and it is much more likely that he was the author of the Vidin office for St. Petka of Tarnovo, than the Serbian office.
