  • I added two essays by my dear Bulgarian colleague Elena Tončeva (unfortunately she is no longer with us), because she did great studies about this manuscript. The first already in 1990, when she had a paper about proshomoion singing and also talked about the Macedonian monastery, where this manuscripts had been preserved before it came to Athens. The Žegligovo Monastery is in Northern Macedonia in the East of Skopje (thus, also close to Serbia), it is a great addition to the collection of Skopje (follow the tag Macedonia) which already has many manuscripts with a Serbian redaction of Old Church Slavonic, but none of them has musical notation (it was obviously not known in rural areas where the the transmission was almost purely oral).

    I am not sure that this manuscript was written by the Romanian Filothei the monk as she assumed in her second publication (quite impossible if the datation back to the early 15th century is right!), but also many Polyeleoi are called "servikon" (Serbian). Without any doubt it reveals a current practice to recite the Latrinos cycle (a particular way to trope Ps 134).

    Thus, we have the Greek and the Slavic way to perform John Koukouzeles' realisation of Latrinos according to contemporary customs (p. 15):9126851466?profile=original

    Some Slavic Polyeleos settings have the Greek version written in red ink between the lines. Thus, the folio 36 visible here is the beginning of Slavic Polyeleos settings.
