Sažetak
Besides the two major apocrypha about Abraham – “Apocalypse of Abraham” (“Apocalypsis Abrahae”) and "Testament of Abraham” (“Testamentum Abrahae”) –the Slavonic medieval literature also preserves a cycle of apocryphal stories about Abraham, which originally contains six texts: 1. “Story about Righteous Abraham”, 2. “Story about Melchizedek”, 3. “Story about how Sarah Instructed Abraham”, 4. “Story about Abraham’s Hospitality”, 5. “Story about Isaac”, and 6. “Story about Abraham’s Death”. The Dubrovnik Cyrillic miscellany written in the Croatian redaction of the Old-Church Slavonic, “Libro od mnozijeh razloga” (1520), contains two stories from that cycle. The first text, entitled “čtenje ōd abrama”, relates the story of a righteous Abraham who rejects idolatry, while the second text, entitled “ōd smarti abramove”, contains the story about Abraham’s death, describing Abraham’s vision of God’s judgment of souls. A textual comparison of the “Story about Righteous Abraham” from “Libro” with the oldest preserved Slavonic text of the apocryphon “Apocalypse of Abraham” – a Russian-Old Slavonic text from “Sylvester’s Miscellany” (14th century), as well as comparisons of the “Story about Abraham’s Death” from “Libro” with the oldest preserved Slavonic text of the apocryphon “Testament of Abraham” – a Bulgarian-Old Slavonic text from the “Sevastyanov’s Collection” (13th century), and with Croatian Glagolitic texts of the apocryphon “Testament of Abraham” from the “Oxford Miscellany” (15th century), “Petris Miscellany” (1468), “Siena Miscellany” (16th century), “Tkon Miscellany” (16th century) and Berčić Collection no. 5 (15th century), shows that the texts of the Slavonic cycle of apocryphal stories from Libro do not belong to the same redaction. Based on a comparison with the Serbian-Old Slavonic texts written in the orthography of the Raška and Resava schools – especially with the corresponding texts in the miscellany from the Savina monastery (14th century), in the miscellany from the monastery of St. Paul on Athos (15th century) and in the “Miscellany of St. Nicholas” (16th century) – it is established that the Cyrillic texts of the cycle of apocryphal stories about Abraham in the Croatian and Serbian redactions belong to the same manuscript tradition and that they originate from a common source.
