From the collection of the Synodal Library of the 16th century. No. 853, l. 5–7, from where this article was already published in “Materials for the History of Russian. churches", part I. pp. 40–41. In terms of its content, it is nothing more than a new edition of the list of renounced books, known under the name “59 rules of the Council of Laodicea,” already in the list of the 14th century. (precisely in the parchment. Pogodinsky Nomocanon; see in Letop. Arch. Com. vol. I, section I, pp. 26–27). The main features of this edition are the indication of the “Prayer Book of Metropolitan Cyprian” as a source for the article, and a rather long list of fortune-telling, astrological, etc. books. (See notes below text). There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the inscription of the synodal list with the name of Metropolitan Zosima. For pseudonyms so common in your ancient writing, the names of the Apostles, Councils and St. were used. Fathers (especially when it was necessary to put into circulation a new edition of the old text); and Zosima was known among his contemporaries and in the next generations as a heretic: this, perhaps, explains the circumstance why in other copies the “Tale” is not inscribed with anyone’s name (for example, in the Chudovsky collection of the late 15th century, No. 269, l. 509–510, the discrepancies of which are indicated below the text). On the other hand, it is now undoubtedly known that Metropolitan Zosima denounced the Judaizers, among other things, for holding and distributing “marked” books (see previous issue); This means that there was an urgent reason for him to publish a list of such books, supplemented mainly by books on magic and astrology, the appearance or, at least, the proliferation of which undoubtedly began in our country along with the heresy of the Judaizers. (Cf. East Russian Church. Macarius, vol. VI, p. 81). The Legend of Zosima, Metropolitan of Russia, about the renounced books 2968 Speak neither worldly composed psalms in church, nor honor uncorrected books, but exactly the corrected New and Old Testaments. And whoever places falsely 2969 and uncorrected [books] 2970 in the church as if they were saints, let him be cast out, and let those books be burned. 2971 And the uncorrected books [and] 2972 hidden 2973 these are their names: Adam, Enoch, Lamech, Patriarchs, the prayer of Joseph, the psalms of Solomon, the songs of David, 12 Jacob, the so-called ladder 2974, the addition of Eliin, the addition of Zofonin 2975, the Paralipomena of Jeremiah about the captivity Jerusalem, that the eagle was sent to Babylon with a letter 2976 to Jeremiah 2977, fables and blasphemies about King Solomon and Kitovras, the additions of Peter, the apostolic walks 2978, the vision of Paul, the questions of John the Theologian, who asked 2979 the Lord on the Mount of Olives, and the Lord said to him: “Hear, righteous John,” and same questions to Abraham the forefather, questions of Valforomea 2980 to the Mother of God, false scriptures, the life of the Apostle Peter, that fish walked on dry land, that he sold to the Lord’s youth 2981, the heretic wrote, the gospel of Barnabas, the gospel of Thomas, the heretics copied, a natural illness, they call hedgehogs shakers, about Sisinius and about Sikhail, that this 2982 Jeremiah the priest, Bogumilov’s son and 2983 disciple, lied, and he was even more displeased with God, about the tree of the cross that was lied to, the names of the angel, the debate between the devil and Christ, the epistole about the week, the tormented walk of the Mother of God, about the service of the mysteries of Christ, that they will be late for mass, resolving the gates of heaven 2984 They will shut themselves up, O seven angels 2985 they will kill the priest, the heretics wrote. The essence and words of martyrdom are crookedly composed, not as the truth about them 2986 lies, as 2987 St. George's torment, which they say 2988 Dadian the king 2989 martyred, Nikitino's torment, who is called the king's son 2990, Evpatie's torment, who died seven times 2991 2992 , Clement of Angir and many others. The essence is the false writings of the priests according to their prayer books, as if these were bad manakonunians 2993 and false prayers 2994; the heretics distorted the apostolic traditions and the teachings of the fathers, having searched the council of 2995, bitten and cleansed it. 2996 Without listening to this teaching of ours, he will be excommunicated from the church; resist and contrary to the verb, let him be cursed. God-remarked 2997 and hated 2998 books: the thunderer, the caroler, the martologist, the Tsar's bearers 2999, the raven, the bird 3000, the mousepisk, the stenotrusk. 3001 These are their names: astronomy, that is, stargazing, okomig, myslennik, naturalist, throwing. 3002 And “come 3003 all faithful” wallpaper, and “I will set up your cross on the earth”, this is compiled except for the seven councils, about the 12 temporary Fridays, about the Rahmans, that Izosima’s walk, the Mosaic covenant, the addition of Paul, that Adam’s forehead 3004, the hedgehog 7 kings sat in it, about Macarius of Rome, that three monks walked in hell and saw Solomon 3005, having gold 3006 chandelier, and 3007 what was said about Basil of Caesarea and about Gregory the Theologian and about John Chrysostom, that questions and answers about everything in a row, and that they wear Avgar's message around their necks [great folly, that is, and that Jesus Christ is written as a sacrifice by the former] 3008 , it didn’t exist, and what they call the Custodian Pilate’s girl housekeeper is a heresy, everything didn’t happen 3009: the Custodian is a warrior of the 3010th regiment, a rex army, and their centurion was Login, and 3011 that one believed 3012 in Christ, but they didn’t believe in the Jews. 3013 And the crazy 3014 priests sealed the royal doors with the people on Saturday evening 3015 is great, already existing 3016, like the Jews 3017, this is not appropriate to do. And 3018 to baptize into three Fathers, and into three Sons, and into three Spirits, or do not immerse, but pour, curse 3019 the priest about everything about that; or they carry buttered poison 3020 and milk, and eggs with prosphora to church, or with kutia, otherwise they all show it to the priest and consecrate it 3021: acting like this 3022 priest, may he be deposed of his dignity 3023; Is it worthy 3024 to bring clean kutia and eve into the church 3025 and consecrate it 3026, and then not to wear it to the altar, but to use it as a brush for the needs of the poor, and not to consecrate it with kutya. And this is written 3027 from the Prayer Book of Metropolitan 3028 Cyprian of All Rus' 3029, and if anyone speaks contrary to this 3030, let the priest be erupted, and let the simpleton excommunicate. Amen. The Legend of the Denied Books of Miracles. In the synodal like: corrected according to Miracle. This introduction, word for word, can be read in the Pogodinsky Nomocanon index. and the hidden ones are not in the weather. In Weather. In the index, this book is located below between the New Testament apocrypha. Next in Weather. The index lists the New Testament apocrypha: Petrov's Proclamations: The Apostolic Daily Practices, the Epistle to Barnabas, the Questions of John Theologos, the Questions of Bartholomew, the Gospel of Barnabas, the Gospel of Thomas, the Vision of Paul. To the synod. here again repeated in Babylon. In the Pogodinsky index it is followed by: The Life of the Apostle Peter, The Childhood of Christ (“that the Lord was sold as a child, the heretic wrote”), The Twelve of Yakovlich, The Epistle about the week, the tormented journey of the Mother of God. Names of angels, Debate between the devil and Christ, Natural illness, which is also called shakers, details about Jeremiah the Bulgarian priest, “about the Tree of the Cross, the announcement of the Holy Trinity, and about our Lord Jesus Christ, as he was put in the priesthood, also Jeremiah is the same”; then: about Solomon and Kitovras and about the service of the mysteries of Christ. The hedgehog died seven times is not on the Pogodinsky list. The hedgehog about tremors has been added to the Pogodinsky index. In the Pogodinsky index there is, without a doubt, the Laodicean Council, to which the article is adopted in the inscription (see legend); but Metropolitan Zosima could also be talking about the Moscow Council of 1490. and cursed adds the Pogodinsky index and ends with this. Bird of Miracle. The adjective "bird" can refer to both the previous "gray" and the following "squeak". Throwing is probably the same as throwing (ῥικτóλóγιον), mentioned in the Nomocanon under the Great Trebnik; see ed. A. Pavlova, p. 53. To the synod. forehead; corrected by Chud. What is put in brackets is taken from Miracles. Is there a hint of Judaizers here? Again a mention of the Jews, alien to the older lists of false books and suggestive of Judaizers. there is no such acting in Miracle. may the priests erupt from the dignity of Miracles. added about renounced books. to Chud. This increase is almost the speculation of a later copyist; according to the synodal list, the words: “everything is written from the Prayer Book of Metropolitan Cyprian” are most naturally attributed only to the closest liturgical decrees, which, indeed, are found in Cyprian’s letters. See above, No. 30 and 32. The “Prayer Book” has also been preserved (unfortunately, not completely) with clear signs of belonging to the times of Metropolitan Cyprian, and perhaps to him personally. This Prayer Book (the current Service Book with some articles from the Trebnik) is now in Moscow. Typographical Library (No. 1278/129, parchment, 16 days on 189 pages). It, by the way, contains; 1) “Water baptism, performed by venerable stones” - with the remark: “Fyodor, Bishop of Rostov, offered it all. Sergei Patriarch Eulogius" (l. 73) and 2) the well-known "scroll of ordination" or the holy teaching to the newly ordained priest (see No. 7), set out, with some cancellations, on behalf of Metropolitan Cyprian ("I am a humble Archbishop Cyprian, the Metropolitan is not an imam"; cf. above p. 110). In his edition of the “scroll,” Cyprian gives instructions that are almost literally similar to those read at the end of Zosima’s index, namely: “bring water, wine, prosphora into the altar, and do not bring anything else, neither kanun, nor kutya, nor beer” (l. 179). but this is falsely written and added to the Miracle.
