In order to facilitate the circulation and discussion of this thesis and to make it more accessible to those among the scholarly community in general who may be interested in the subject, as also with regard to one of the supervisors, Christian Troelsgard (Copenhagen University), the decision was taken to write the thesis in Russian, translate it into Portuguese and present the final version in English.

KEYWORDS: music, liturgy, orthodox church, manuscripts, Middle Ages. A tese é dedicada a dois manuscritos russos que pertencem ao Museu Histórico de Moscovo (Gosudarstvenny Istoricheskiy Musey: GIM) – o Triodion Quaresmal Sinodal 319 (Sin 319) e o Pentekostarion Voskresensky 27 (Voskr 27), ambos do século XII. Estes livros tinham sido incluídos nas investigações de alguns cientistas, assim na Rússia como no Ocidente. Nesta tese foram corrigidos a atribuição da proveniência de um dos livros e a data da escrita do outro. Na sequência da análise textológoca, semiológica e paleográfica, chegou-se à conclusão que ambos os livros foram escritos como um conjunto integral num dos scriptoria de Novgorod. Os dez Sofisky Menaia da Colecção Sinodal do Museu Histórico do Moscovo (nº159-168) foram atribuídos ao mesmo conjunto. Em relação ao tipo de livro litúrgico que es representam, os Sin 319, Voskr 27 e Sofisky Menaia são códices que incluem diferentes géneros himnográficos. Estes manuscritos estão apontados com a notação znamenny, que na tradição russa pode ser encontrada prioritariamente em livros limitados aos mesmos géneros (singulares), como os Sticheraria e Heirmologia. O facto da presença de textos de contrafacta com a notação znamenny em Sin 319, Voskr 27 e Sofisky Menaia torna estes livros multi- genéricos litúrgicos únicos a este respeito. Afim de estabelecer a função dos livros GIM-Triodion dentro do contexto histórico da liturgia russa, foram investigados aproximadamente 40 livros notados e vii sem notação russos, búlgaros e sérvios. A sua estrutura, conteúdo, particularidades paleográficas e as de notação, em comparação com o ciclo GIM-Triodion, foram comentados numa vasta quantidade das tabelas e exemplos. A análise de vários parâmetros sugere a conclusão, de que Sin 319 e Voskr 27 foram criados como um conjunto de referência (um protótipo para escrita e a guia para a prática de canto), concluindo um dos períodos que podem ser distinguidos no desenvolvimento da arte russa de canto sacro dos séculos XI-XV. The dissertation concerns two Russian manuscripts which belong to the Moscow Historical Museum (Gosudarstvenny Istoricheskiy Musey: GIM) – the Lenten Triodion Synodal 319 (Sin 319) and the Pentekostarion Voskresensky 27 (Voskr 27), both from the 12th century. These books have been included in the studies of some scholars, both from Russia and from the West. In this thesis, the attribution of place of writing of one of the books and the date of writing of the other have been corrected. Following textological, semiological and palaeographical analyses, it is concluded that both books were written as an integral part of the same group, in one of the scriptoria of Novgorod. The ten Sofisky Menaia from the Synodal Collection of Moscow Historical Museum (nº159-168) are attributed to the same set. Regarding the type of liturgical book they represent, Sin 319, Voskr 27 and the Sofisky Menaia are codices which include different genres of hymnody. These manuscripts are notated with znamenny notation, which, in the Russian tradition, can be found mostly in books limited to a single genre, such as Sticheraria and Heirmologia. The fact of the presence of the texts of contrafacta with znamenny notation in Sin 319, Voskr 27 and the Sofisky Menaia makes these multi-genre liturgical books unique. For the purpose of establishing the role of the GIM-Triodion within the historical context of Russian liturgy, about 40 notated and un-notated Russian, Bulgarian and Serbian books were investigated. Their structure, content, paleographical and notational particularities, in comparison with the GIM-Triodion cycle, has been commented upon in a large number of tables and examples. The analysis of various parameters means that one may conclude that Sin 319 and Voskr 27 were created as a reference set (written prototype and guidelines for chant practice), concluding one of the periods that could be distinguished in the development of Russian art of sacred chant of the 11th-15th century. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgement vi Abstract vii-viii Table of Contents ix-x Bibliographical note xi List of Abbreviations xii-xiii List of Tables xiv-xvi List of Examples xvii-xix Glossary xx-xxiii Part I Introduction 2 Chapter 1 The formation of the Triodion cycle tradition until and during the Studite reforms in Bizantium 12 Chapter 2 The Liturgy and liturgical books of the Studite Period in Russia. 79 Part II Chapter 3 Sin 319 and Voskr 27 as a set: questions of dating, locality and palaeography 128 Chapter 4 Sin 319 and Voskr 27 as a set: the content and numbering of commemorations 173 Chapter 5 Sin 319 and Voskr 27: Questions of classification – the composition and disposition of daily hymnography 211 Chapter 6 Sin 319 and Voskr 27: Questions concerning the composition of the codices in the context of liturgical practice 243 ix Part III Chapter 7 Two hands in the notation of contrafacta in Sin 319 and Voskr 27.
