| Summary: | This article explores a little known and unique eucharistic manuscript written in the early fourteenth century in the Serbian redaction of Church Slavonic. The codex preserves non- Philothean texts of the liturgies of St John Chrysostom and St Basil that are characterized by distinctive features, including a rare clerical vesting rite and a significantly reduced prothesis rite. After a codicological and historiographical description of the codex, a transcription of the full text of the Chrysostom liturgy is given. The transcription is followed by a detailed liturgiological analysis of its contents, with ample reference to Greek and other parallel texts of the liturgy. The conclusion of the study is that HAZU III a 32 was likely first used within a parochial, non-monastic context, and rep-resents liturgical practices in the rural Slavic Balkans prior to the widespread standardization efforts at the end of the fourteenth century. |
