Il Codice Uspenskij. Analisi della struttura e riflessioni critiche

Abstract

The Uspenskij Sbornik. Analysus of its structure and critical relections.

This paper provides a brief survey of fundamental studies on the Uspenskij sbornik, a highly interesting East Slavic manuscript datable to the 12th-13th centuries, which contains various translations fom Greek or Latin, as well as original Slavic texts. The survey is limited to studies published after O.A. Knjazevskaja’s edition of the ms. (M. 1971). Particular attention is paid to questions concerning the language of the sbornik, its overall structure, and the individual texts it contains. The article includes a full description of the structure of the ms.: for each text the Greek, Latin and Slavic parallels are given, followed by a list of scholars’ corrections to the edited text, which is often inaccurate.
