| Title | One Compilation from the Life of Andrew the Fool in South Slavonic Translation |
| Summary | The study brings to light one hitherto unknown Slavonic compilation of episodes excerpted from the Life of Andrew the Fool, attempts to establish the time and place of its origin, and to find its role within the genre system of Slavonic and Byzantine literature, posing questions concerning authorship, translation, literary transmission. It offers a list of all so far known copies of the compilation and analyses their structure and content. It establishes that the text was transmitted in a stable tradition, and was not subjected to editorial changes or reworking. Comparing the work to the extended Life of Andrew the Fool and to other variants of it, conclusions are drawn as to the compositional strategies of the compiler, and role of the work in the transformation of literary traditions in Byzantine literature. |
