Folk Culture and Cultural Realia in the Slavonic Juridical Literature: Vota and Broumalia

Summary: 

The article studies how the ancient realia Vota and Brumalia have been transmitted according to the Slavonic translations of the 62nd canon of the Council in Trullo from 691–692. It is based upon two main sources:  the Old Bulgarian translation of Patriarch Photius’ Syntagma of the canons without commentaries in the Efremovska kormchaya of the end of the 12th century, and the South-Slavonic kormchaya with commentaries in its Ilovitsa copy from 1262. Some other supplementary sources are consulted as well. Against the background of the abundant bibliography on the ancient feasts, spectacles, carnivals and their prohibition in the medieval sources, the specific task is to trace the naming tendencies in the light of the theory of realia, and to outline the characteristics of the Slavonic translations. The names of the two feasts tend to be preserved in their original form (as a loanword rather than to be subjected to an adaptation through translation into Slavonic. The Slavonic juridical manuscripts remain their basic textual environment. In the context of the canonical core of the Orthodox Church they enter the Slavonic literature from its very beginning. The comparison of how they are presented in different groups of kormchayas and their copies of various dating and location would be a very effective way of revealing the contribution of medieval translating to the theory of realia.
