Abstract
This article deals with the language innovations characteristic of translations of
the 14th century as represented in manuscripts regarded by scholars as emanating
from the literary activities of Metropolitan Cyprian (1406): the Ladder of Divine
Ascent, the Psalter, and the works of St.Dionysius the Areopagite. The number of
innovations is different for each of the texts listed above, the Psalter being the least
innovative and the Ladder the most innovative text. Nevertheless the distribution of
corrections in the Ladder seems to be irregular, with the initial part containing more
innovations than the end of the codex. The works of St.Dionysius the Areopagite
represented in MDA144 (Russian State Library, Moscow) have nothing to do with
Cyprians literary activities, for this manuscript is a copy of a translation made by
Isaiah, a monk at the St.Panteleimonos Monastery on Mount Athos. The number
of innovations in this translation lies between those seen in the Psalter and in the
Ladder. Thus, a text attributed to the same person may differ significantly in terms of
translation technique, which leads to the conclusion that the so-called attributional
criterion is unreliable for a description of the written language of the 14th century.
Along the same lines, such notions as the Athos norm and the Tarnovo norm are
quite fluid and do not have any strictly defined borders. Therefore we suggest that
these 14th-century translations have to be examined in the context of the degree
to which they illustrate language innovations in a particular text. This criterion
has been already successfully applied by M.G.Galchenko for a description of the
orthographic features of the Second South Slavic Influence in Russian manuscripts
of the 14th15th centuries.
