I THE COPIES OF THE TEXT

The seven copies of the text of the apocryphal

tale,

The Appeal of Adam in Hell to Lazarus, have been preserved in six manuscripts.

Three of the copies have

previously been published.

See chapter 2 of this work

for information concerning these editions.

Copy

"S",

according to I. Porfir'ev, was edited by him from manuscript no. 848 of the Soloveckij collection. 1

A de-

scription of the Soloveckij collection is found in I. Porfir'ev, et al.

(eds.), Opisanie rukopisej

kogo Monastyrja, naxodjascixsja v biblioteke

SolovecKazanskoj

Duxovnoj Akademii, pts. 1-3 (Kazan', 1891-98).

The

manuscript collection of the Soloveckij Monastery, transferred in 1855 to the Ecclesiastical Academy in Kazan', was incorporated

in 1928 with the Leningrad 2

Public Library holdings, where it forms coll. no.717. Copy "K", according to I. Franko, was edited by him from manuscript no. 27 of the collection of the Kievan Ecclesiastical A c a d e m y . 3

The collection of the Kievan

Ecclesiastical Academy is described in Petrov, N.P., 'Opisanie rukopisej Cerkovno-ArxeologiSeskogo

Muzeja

pri Kievskoj Duxovnoj Akademii," Trudy Kievskoj Duxov-

2

noj Akademii (Kiev, 1874-78), and is now found in the Central Library of the Academy of Sciences of the 4

Ukrainian SSR in Kiev.

Copy "P" was edited by A.

Pypin, who does not give the location of the manuscript from which his edition was made.

Immediately preceding

the text of his edition, he states that his edition of the apocrypha is based on a Zlatoust, without stating which Zlatoust.

In the forward to the volume in which

the edition of the copy "P" is found, Pypin says that the works edited in this volume come from the manuscript collection of the Public Library, the Rumjancov Museum, 6 the Nevskaja Lavra, the Troickaja Lavra, etc. ent

The pres-

location of the manuscript from which this copy was

made has not been established, despite the efforts of the Manuscript Division of the Lenin Library.

Copy "V"

is from the collection of the Iosifo-Volokolamskij Monastery, now located in the Lenin Library, coll, no. 113, no. 521, where it forms pp. 31-34 rev. of a manuscript 7 without title.

Copy "U" is from the Undol'skij Collec-

tion, now in the Lenin Library, coll. 310, no. 1109, where it forms pp. 137 rev. -139 of a manuscript enti8 tied Zlatoust i Sobornik.

Copies "Z" and "Z2" are from

the Uvarov Collection, no. III/316, 179/-1 of the State Historical Museum holdings, the title of the manuscript „ 9 being Ioanna Zlatousta i drugix poucenija.

The first

three mentioned copies have been examined by me only in

3

the printed editions; the last four have been examined in manuscript form.

This investigation will concern

primarily those copies examined by me in manuscript. One printed copy, "P", is included in the edition of the copies, chap. 8, and discussed for its phonological and morphological features in chaps. 4 and 5 respectively. The other published copies "S" and "K", representing simply variants of the two prototypes, are discussed in Appendix 2, where a full list of all words not found in the other copies is given.
