Featuring: Cynthia Vakareliyska, Professor of Linguistics, University of Oregon
Best known for her work and analyses of the 1354 Curzon Gospel (Add. Ms. 39, 628 British Museum), Dr. Vakareliyska has contributed to original ways of analyzing the calendar portions in Slavic manuscripts, especially those often found as supplements to the Gospels.
The lack of consistency among calendars, the sheer number of calendars, and the fact that most medieval Slavic calendars of saints are unpublished have made it notoriously difficult to access and organize the data and to identify many of the saints who appear in calendars on more minor feast days.
