Palaeoslavica XV/2007, nos. 1-2

[Strakhov, Olga]

Dear colleagues,

I am glad to announce the publication of the next (XV/2007) issue of the Palaeoslavica: International Journal for the Study of Slavic Medieval Literature, History, Language and Ethnology.

 

No. 1 of Palaeoslavica XV consists of four sections. 

The Articles section contains a study by O. Tolochko who proposes a new look at the relationship between the Short and the Expanded Redactions of Pravda Ruskaia; a study by V. Chentsova who investigates an engrossing tale about bringing the miracle-making icon of the Theo-tokos of Blachernas from Greece to Moscow in the 17th c.; and a study by A. Strakhov who analyzes several Eastern Slavic marriage rituals dealing with horse collars in terms of their cleansing functions. The Publications section presents Слово о послушании by John Climacus following to the oldest extant Slavic manuscript (publ. and comm. by T.Popova) and folklore narratives about mermaids (русалки) recorded in Central Russia (publ. by E. Samodelova) and in Belаrus' (publ. by G. Lopatin). The Speculum section discusses the history of the word лафа and points to various mistakes in its lexicographic-al treatment. The Miscellanea section contains notes by P. Schreiner, C.M. Vakareliyska, et al.

 

No. 2 of Palaeoslavica XV also consists of four sections. 

The Articles section presents a study by D. Christians in which she reconstructs the Канон Мефодию Патарско-му following the extant Slavic manuscripts; an article by T. Vilkul that analyzes the relationship between PVL and Old Russian Khronographs; and a study by O. Strakhov featuring a detailed discussion of titles of Russian Patri-archs from 1589 to 1700. The Publications section pre-sents some seventeenth-century texts from Siberia, and a description of present-day calendar rituals attested in the Komi region. The Speculum section contains two re-views: the first by J. Fellerer who analyzes A. Danylen-ko's recent book on various questions of Ukrainian philo-logy, and by D. Ostrowski who re-evaluates the relation-ship between the Galician-Volynian Chronicle and the Life of Alexander Nevskii. The Miscellanea section con-tains notes by F. Klimchuk and A. Strakhov.
