The title of the anthology (Кніига гл҃маа Адрїанты) refers to the mane
corpus of St. John Chrysostom's homilies devoted to the campaign of emperor
Theodosios the Great against the idol worship. After the “Andrianti” there
could be find some more homilies: by John Chrysostom, Ephraem the Syrian,
Anastasios II, patriarch of Antioch, etc. Vladislav the Grammarian
interpolated into the MS for commentaries on Bible texts as homilies for the
Great Lent.

| History | 1473. On f. 337v-338 Vladislav the Grammarian
wrote an inscription of historiographic value. It says that the MS was
copied in the Monastery of Žegligovo (Monte Negro) and that the
translation of St. John Chrysostom's homilies was made by monk Antonios
from the monastery of Vatopedi, who was a disciple of father Genadios.
The copyist claimed that the translation was ordered by Basil, bishop of
Studenica and archdiacon Nikita. Vladislav the Grammarian also mentioned
some events that happened in the reign of Mehmed II
Conqueror. The famous Rila glgolitic leaves were found in the binding of this
very MS. |
