Unknown apocrypha "The Legend of Solomon of Healthy Eating for Every Day" ("kako yasti vo vse dni")" in the Slavic-Moldovan literature of the 15th-16th centuries
The article focuses on the publication of an unknown apocrypha "The Legend of Solomon of Healthy Eating for Every Day ("kako yasti vo vse dni")" related to the Slavic-Moldovan literature of the the 15th - 16th centuries. The work is a translation of an unknown Greek and Byzantine original dietary and healthful recommendations for each month of the calendar year. The text was published on the basis of three Slavic manuscripts of Moldavian origin, identified by the author: 1) The Collection of the Moldovan scribe Gavriil Urik of 1447 (Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts, Fund 188, File 778; Russian State Library, Fund 178, File 923); 2) The Collection of 1561 (Institute of Manuscripts of the National Library of Ukraine, Fund 313, File 47); 3) Horologion with additional articles of the first quarter of the 16th century (Russian State Library, Fund 209, File 201). The textual analysis has shown that the content of the work under study is very close to "Month According to Romans. About Different Months" from the Anthology of Svyatoslavof 1073. However, the published calendar is more detailed. It begins from September, not from March, and contains archaic Slavic denominations of diseases. For the first time it introduces an unknown apocrypha of dietary and healthful recommendations, indicating the syncretism of Christianity and popular beliefs among the Slavs and Moldovans.
