chudov new testament

[Olga Strakhov]

Dear Syeng-Mann,
the manuscript of the Chudov New Testament does not exist (it was stolen 
during the Russian Revolution). It was phototypically printed, however, 3 
times (by Archimandrite Amphilokhii somewhere in 1880s (an extremely rare 
edition), by Metropolitan Leontii in 1892, and most recently by Werner 
Lehfeldt (who reprinted Leontii's edition). See his Neues Testament des 
Cudov-Klosters Phototypische Ausg. von Leontij, Metropolit von Moskau 
(Moskau, 1892) ; mit einer Einleitung ; herausgegeben von Werner Lehfeldt 
(Köln : Böhlau, 1989 = Bausteine zur Geschichte der Literatur bei den 
Slaven ; Bd. 28). Lehfeldt's reprint (not very good, unfortunately) is, 
however, the most accessible one. Note that accentuation of the text 
although very frequent is not consistent. True, this is an earliest East 
Russian manuscript that has such an extensive accentuation. There are a lot 
of articles written on the Chudov New Testament's system of accentuation; 
some of the references you can find in Lehfeldt's Preface.
