Aneta Yotova is a young scholar with master´s degree in Old Bulgarian Studies from Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” and in Manuscript Studies from the Center for the Study of Manuscript Cultures at Hamburg University. Her research focuses on the reception of Byzantine literature in the Church Slavonic written tradition, text criticism, the history of the Bulgarian language, and the application of digital methods to the study of written artefacts.
The article is devoted to observations of the text of the Story about Father Agapios in several Middle Bulgarian and vernacular Bulgarian copies from the 14th to the 18th century. A comparison is made between the witnesses found in the Adžar Miscellany (no. 326 in the National Library in Sofia), Panagjurište Miscellany (no. 433 in the same library) and the copy preserved in the Berlin Damaskin (Berl. Slav. Fol. 36, Berlin State Library). Conclusions are drawn regarding the structure of the text and its possible relations to the early Slavonic versions. The examined copies are edited in Appendices 1 and 2.
