This book is the definitive documentation of a significant segment of the Greek manuscript legacy ? the organic library of the famous monastery of the Theotokos ? (Ba?kovo) near the city of Asenovgrad in Bulgaria. It provides comprehensive scholarly descriptions of thousands of texts, major and minor, that served the liturgical needs and helped form the mind-set of the Orthodox monastic community on the Balkans. Dorotei Getov is a classical philologist-turned-student of Greek manuscripts, currently employed by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences as Senior Researcher in Byzantine Literature at its Institute for Literature. He has published several catalogues of Greek manuscripts kept in Bulgarian libraries as well as the editiones principes of the so-called Florilegium Mosquense and of a collection of scholia to the Byzantine legal corpus known as Basilika. Table of Contents Introduction Bibliographical Abbreviations Manuscript Descriptions General Index Initia of Unedited or Unrecognized Texts Plates Review « Des catalogues précis et sûrs, qui paraissent dans des délais raisonnables : les spécialistes des textes et des manuscrits ne peuvent rêver d?une meilleure conjoncture. Puisse D. Getov poursuivre la tache engagée en Bulgarie, permettant ainsi a la communauté scientifique de prendre connaissance de fonds importants de manuscrits, peu connus, sinon presque totalement inconnus. » (Matthieu Cassin, dans la Revue des études byzantines, 74, 2016, p. 423) ?All the above data imply that D. Getov did his best to study profoundly and describe a valuable manuscript collection in a modern, precise, and highly comprehensive way. The careful examination and systematization of the facts, the numerous newly discovered details, the synthesis of different scientific results, and the formulation of unsolved problems make these two volumes a must for the specialist in paleography, Greek and the rest of the Balkan languages, literature, liturgy, church music, history, and culture?
