Abstract:
Hagiotheca Preslavica (Reconstruction of the Preslav hagiographical
collections: Publication and Research of the Stanislav’s menaion-chetii1 manuscript) is a project, developed by a team of young Bulgarian medievalists2. Its
principal task is the preparation and publication (both digital and traditional)
and research of the Stanislav’s menaion-cheti (better known as 1039 manuscript
from the “St. St. Cyril and Methodius“ National Library. Although it is a 14th
century copy, the manuscript preserves a number of authentic texts that allow us
to reconstruct faithfully the initial contents of menaia-chetii, compiled and
translated during the Golden Age of the medieval Bulgarian literature and culture. The realization of the project will be completed by web-based, easily navigable digitalization of the Stanislav’s menaion-cheti, creation of a matrix for the description of the texts, enabling searching and grouping. This will provide the conditions necessary for the work of the team as well as of the wider academic community.
