Abstract
This paper analyses the active participial constructions in their adjectival (adjectival proper and
substantival) and verbal (adverbial, periphrastic, independent participial predicate, complementary) uses in the Croatian Glagolitic Psalter corpus (Lobkovic, Paris and Fraščić psalter), by their comparison with the variant readings of the canonical Sinai Psalter and their source Greek text. An interesting appearance of variation of definite and indefinite inflectional forms, especially in the transfer of Greek anarthrous participles, points to the more difficult grammatical identification that can be caused by: common features of the participial types, timelessness as the characteristic of the non-literary genre, differences between two languages, indirect influence of the Hebrew syntax. Understanding of translating technique, occasional deviations as regards definiteness of inflectional forms in relation to the Greek source text, variations between Church Slavic manuscripts and the influence of the Latin Vulgate are taken into consideration.
