From the written witnesses of the Serbian verse prolog to the localisation of the translation

Abstract

The article studies the preserved to this day copies of the Serbian translation of the Byzantine Verse Synaxarion. The sparse data about their origin and/or their later locations are analysed with the view to outlining the region in which this rare version of the Slavonic Verse Prolog appeared and to making assumptions about its possible localisation.
