Notes

  • Watermarks: similarity with Likachev 1994, nrs. 1829-1830 on plate 177, dating 1557/8 (hand with trefoil, ff. 64, 65, 125); nrs. 1358-1359 on plate 179, dating 1508 (hand with quatrefoil, ff.82-83. For some watermarks with bull's head and cross, no eyes (ff. 129, 139, 145) no similarity found in Likachev 1994, plates 185-253.
  • Two parts (related?). The first part, has been used separately from the second, in view of the wear and tear of f. 31v. The preceding leaf (f. 30), although written in the same hand, has been inserted. It is a text fragment with sayings from a paterikon, inconsistent with the surrounding text.
  • Textual: (ff. 33-149) Contents of the liturgikon: general service for all saints (f. 33r-); services for one apostle (f. 41v-), for two or more apostles (f. 48v), for one saint (f. 53v-), for two or more saints (f. 62v-), for one holy martyr (f. 68v-), for two or more holy martyrs (f. 75r-), for one holy monk (f. 80v-), for two or more holy monks (f. 87r-), for one martyr (f. 91v-), for two or more martyrs (f. 96v-), for one monk-martyr (f. 101v-), for two monk-martyrs (f. 110v-), for one female martyr (f. 117r-), for two or more female martyrs (f. 124v-), for one holy nun (f. 132v-), for two or more holy nuns (f. 141r).
