Abstract
The Protestant edition of the New Testament was printed in Urach near Tübingen (the 1st part in 1562 and the 2nd in 1563). It is a known fact that Stipan Konzul and other Istrian priests participated in its translation. All of them were well acquainted with Church Slavonic codices, such as the Beram breviaries, that originated and were used in central Istria. Even though it has already been confirmed that the Protestants took a decisive step towards the vernacular, a detailed comparative analysis will precisely illustrate how extensive it was and to what extent the breviaries reflect the knowledge of Church Slavonic translations. Also, similarity has been established between the Protestant translations and the Latin lectionaries, namely the Zborovčić Lectionary printed in Venice in 1543, which is, in fact, the second edition of Lectionary of Bernardin from Split (1495). The analyses were conducted on the text of the First Epistle of St.Paul to the Corinthians (1 Kor 11,20–33), as part of the 15th century Second Beram Breviary, representing the codices of Central Istria, the Lectionary of Bernardin of Split and in the second part of the printed Protestant glagolitic New Testament. The results show that the Chakavian, i.e. Croatian elements are predominant in the New Testament, while the share of Church Slavonic elements in this part of the text is insignificant.
