Lexis of Croato-Glagolitic psalter from Academy Breviary (IIIc 12)
Marinka Šimić
Abstract
In the article the author brings out some lexical peculiarities of the psalter of the Academy breviary (sign. III c 12) of the year 1384. The psalter of BrAc is compared with the earliest Slavic psalter - the Sinai psalter - and with Croatian Glagolitic psalters. The author comes to the conclusion that the BrAc psalter has the typical lexical characteristics of the Croatian Glagolitic translation and belongs to the
first, archaic, or South-Slavic redaction. In the BrAc psalter, as well as in our other psalters, graecisms are attested in places where the Sinai psalter has a Slavic word, for example: olokavtomatь, skandêlь, skinipi. On the other hand, in the BrAc psalter there is a layer of moravisms: drevle, mito, natruti, nepriêznь. This confi rms that the BrAc psalter is very archaic and belongs to the Croatian Glagolitic translation of the psalter, with a small amount of lexical differences.
