Abstract
Studies about the linguistic characteristics of a few Glagolitic manuscript versions of Quaresimale,
as well as studies about other texts (The Treatise on the Seven Deadly Sins; Greblo's Commentary on
the Passion of Christ) that were included in the same manuscripts as the Lenten sermons, have
already been published. After the structure of the Glagolitic Quaresimale, that has been preserved
in the form of five Glagolitic manuscripts (Kolunić Quaresimale, Quaresimale III a 19, Greblo
Quaresimale, Oport Quaresimale, Fatević Miscellany), had been studied, the next step in the
research of the Glagolitic Quaresimale was to study the relationship between the written sermons
and their performance, because the performance, or orality, is one of the main characteristics of
sermons as a genre. The results of this study show that the different places in which the copies of
the manuscript were kept, the thematic similarity between the sermons and other texts in
manuscripts, as well as the attitude of the scribes towards the graphic design of the text, had
influenced the performance of the Lenten sermons. The performances of these Glagolitic sermons
reflect a great deal more variety than would be expected on the basis of the content of sermons in
all five manuscripts which is very similar.
