Σχολια για το κινημα των ζηλωτων στη θεσσαλονικη
The short comments aim at (a) a better understanding of the so-called Zealots Movement in Thessaloniki in the frame of the moral destitution and the elements of decline of the Empire during the years of the civil wars of the 14th century and (b) the analysis of the first sermon Gregory Palamas delivered upon entering in Thessaloniki as its archbishop which reflects his opinion concerning the movement.
Аn architectural workshop from the 2nd decade of the 15th century in the border regions of Bulgaria and Serbia
Аn architectural workshop from the 2nd decade of the 15th century in the border regions of Bulgaria and Serbia
The Monastery of St. John Theologian near Pirot (Poganovo), best known for the icon of Miracle of Latomos (now in Sofia) and wall decoration from the end of the 15th century, was well examined and treated by conservators as a building complex, but is still insufficiently studied. The time of the creation of the monument and the identity of its founders, Constantine and Helena, whose names were engraved on the west facade, were variously interpreted, and the largest number of scholars were of the opinion that they were Constantine Dragaš (Dejanović) and his daughter Helena, wife of Emperor Manuel II (1391-1425). However, the persons in questions were members of the nobility of despotes Stefan, who got these areas from Sultan Mehmed I, after the Battle near Sofia in 1413. Architectural drawings and watercolors made by architects Mihailo Valtrović and Dragutin Milutinović, who visited the area around Trn after its liberation from Turkish rule in 1877-1878, made it possible to detect relationships with other monuments in the valley of Jerma, the Monastery of Archangel Michael in Trn and the Monastery of the Virgin in Mislovštica. Characteristic features of these churches - seven-sided dome and a manner of construction with stone, brick and mortar in the distinctive decorative type that cannot be found elsewhere - show that they were built by the same masters, members of an architectural workshop, in the second decade of the 15th century.

Subject of this article is the copy of Four Gospels preserved at the Church Institute in Sofia (gr. 949), which was displayed in the Brilliance of Byzantium Exhibition organized during the 22nd International Congress of Byzantine Studies (August 22 - 27, 2011) and which we assumed to have been produced by the hand of one of the most famous scribes at the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century, i.e. Theodore Hagiopetrites. The type of the script employed in the Four Gospels at the Church Institute (CHAI gr. 949) is in the so-called by L. Politis unique ‘Hagiopetrites Style’. Although the manuscript does not contain a colophon, comparison to the manuscripts of Theodore Hagiopetrites known to us and especially to Cod. D. gr. 29 (Olim. Kos. 35) at the Ivan Dujčev Centre - an autograph of the scribe of 1307, as well as to another manuscript from Saint Petersburg, Cod. gr. of ASUSSR, No 10/667 of the 14th century, provides good reasons to assume that the Four Gospels manuscript (CHAI gr. 949) was also produced by Theodore Hagiopetrites. Our certainty was further substantiated after we had studied in situ the Four Gospels from Academician N. P. Likhachev’s archive published by Igor Medvedev in the collection ‘ In Memoriam Ivan Dujčev’ of 1988 which is currently kept under No 10/667 in the Archive of the Leningrad Section of the Institute of History at the Russian Academy of Science. Having compared the illumination and the specifics of motif stylization, as well as the specific colouring, we could assert that the two manuscripts manifest pronounced similarities. Thereby, the 27 manuscripts by T. Hagiopetrites published by R. Nelson should also be supplemented by the Four Gospels at the Church Institute (CHAI gr. 949) in addition to the Apostle Lectionary of 1307, autograph of Theodore Hagiopetrites at the Dujčev Centre, Cod. D. gr. 29 (Olim. Kos. 35), which R. Nelson briefly mentioned in his preface, and the Saint Petersburg Four Gospels, published by I. Medvedev.

Византийская деревянная скульптура
The paper is devoted to the Byzantine wooden sculpture, least known and conserved segment of artistic creativity in Byzantine empire. All such artefacts, well known to experts for a long time, are commented in the text. These art objects are observed in comparison to the so-called minor sculpture as well as to the other other types of sculpture. Also special emphasis is on the problems of style of the sculptural works in question.

Древнерусский памфлет на Михаила VIII Палеолога в свете герменевтического анализа
Древнерусский памфлет на Михаила VIII Палеолога в свете герменевтического анализа
In the article the perception of the image of Michael VIII Palaeologus by literate citizens of Tsardom of Russia is considered. The study is based on analysis of writings that date back to XVII century. The study focuses on identifying the symbols and latent ideas, that point to a semantic connection of the studied writings with The Old Testament, Apocalypse and some antique texts. In the end of the article the authjr makes a conclusion, that the perception of the image of Michael VIII Palaeologus in Tsardom of Russia was negative.

Житиети на св. Григорий Декаполит в ръкопис ms. sl. 307 от Румънската Академия
The article contains some preliminary observations on a hagiographical text, discovered in a Slavic manuscript from the collection of the Library of Romanian Academy in Bucharest (Ms. sl. 307). The manuscript that was in very poor physical conditions contains a Triodion and Pentecostarion of Nicephorus Kallistos Xantopoulos with full text of the Synodicon of Orthodoxy. After it we find a vita of St Gregory Decapolita. The text is extremely damaged and almost illegible except the title but it is clear that this is not the only known short vita of the holy man. My work hypothesis is that this text could be the only known copy of the Slavic translation of the Vita of St Gregory Decapolita by Ignatius the Deacon.

The article examines a cycle of prayers kept in the well known miscellanea of Priest Dragol from the third quarter of the 13th century (the manuscript is kept in the Belgrade National Library, signature No. 651), attributed to St. Sysinnios. The fourteen copies, which have been found until now, are systematized according to their textual versions. The main result is that the Miscellanea of Priest Dragol represents a very important moment in the diffusion of such texts because: 1. it attests the existence of earlier copies of Sysinnios’ prayers both in the Slavonic and Greek traditions; 2. it offers four different versions of ancient Greek patterns; 3. it should be considered as the basis of development of the apothropeic literature among the Slavs.
