TWO LEAVES OF A CALENDAR WRITTEN IN MIXED UNCIAL
OF THE NINTH CENTURY

Stefano Parenti, Elena Velkovska



In his recent study on the paraphrase of the Iliad written by Hegu-
men Sophronios, later Patriarch of Jerusalem from 841 to 860, and
conserved in the contemporary manuscript Sinai gr. NE, 26, P. G.
Nikolopoulos has added the ms. Sinai gr. 925 to the other witnesses of
the text in mixed uncial
1
. In fact the codex containing a collection of
kontav kia dates from the eleventh century
2
, and only the last two pa-
per leaves, bound as fly-leaves (ff. 117 and 118), come from an older
uncial manuscript.
Having seen these leaves only on microfilm, it seems quite difficult
to describe them in detail. Thus we have decided to limit the presenta-
tion to the meagre data offered by the catalogues and the Checklist:
the dimensions 175 x 140 mm
3
, obviously smaller than the original
manuscript, due to the cutting of the codex, and the number of the
lines oscillating between 14 and 16. The two leaves are remnants of
the two central bifolia of a quire, as can be seen from the following
drawing:

The script on both sides of the leaves belongs to the so-called ha-
giopolite uncial and is very close to that of two bifolia of a menaion
from the Greek manuscripts discovered on Sinai in 1975
4
, dated by
Linos Politis to the ninth century
5
. Later Lidia Perria has defined the
particularities of this mixed Sinaitic uncial more accurately, show-
ing that it appears also sporadically in the ms. Vat. gr. 2200
6
as a type
of writing rather limited in time and space, attested on Sinai between
the end of the eighth and the beginning of the ninth century
7
. The
definition mixed is due to the fact that in the prevalent inclined type
of uncial, similar to the ogival, the cursive a and m are included and
the shapes of the uncial kappa and lambda are very particular
8
. The
publication of a first, essential inventory with photographic tables of
the Sinaitic nev a euJ rhv mata has largely increased the number of mss. in
mixed hagiopolite uncial, both on parchment and paper, and dated, as
is our calendar, to the ninth century
9
.
Our fragment is copied with the so called mixed script/writing, a
hybrid variant of the ogival
10
, distinguished by the characteristic
strong inclination, neat contrast between upstrokes and downstrokes,
minuscule alpha and my. Among the mixed script/writing there are

two variants and the calendar belongs to the second one, better known
and characterized by an even sharper modular contrast, finer lines and
a typical flourished form of kappa
11
.
As in many other mss. deriving from Mt. Sinai, one can also ob-
serve an Arabic hand, in our case datable to the thirteenth century. It
wrote in the margin the translation Ayyr (May), corresponding to the
Greek title Mhni; mai?w/ hJ mev ra" la (f. 117
v
). We observe another mar-
ginal note by a later Greek hand (10th-11th century?) in cursive on f.
117
r
: tou' ... ktisfwn kai; tw'n su; n auj tw'/. This hagiographical data
probably corresponds to the memory of St. Symeon Bar-Sabbe,
bishop of Seleukia and Ktesiphon, with his martyr-companions, who
are celebrated on 17 April
12
.
In spite of the cutting of the leaves in order to match the measures
of the new codex, not much has been lost from the original text; so to-
day we can quite easily read the whole f. 117, and the recto page of f.
118. Its verso, however, is so scraped that the last editor was unable to
publish anything of its contents
13
. Nevertheless, in spite of the poor
legibility, even on the microfilm it is possible to distinguish at least
nine lines that provide further two commemorations inedited until
now. Besides, the examination of the text on the microfilm has shown
some inaccuracies in Livadaras edition which leads us to offer a new
edition.
The text is given according to the internal division of the contents
and does not follow the original lines; scraped off and cut letters are
put in square brackets, larger portions of missing text are indicated by
dots.

302 STEFANO PARENTI - ELENAVELKOVSKA
Before commenting on the few commemorations listed, we should
ask what kind of document we are dealing with. In its present state the
two leaves present part of a festal calendar, but it is impossible to tell
whether this list was written as part of another book e. g., a menaion
or as an independent unit. If the latter is true, we note that in the
Greek tradition such examples are indeed very rare
14
.
But these membra disiecta, bound in a Sinaitic kontakarion, offer
an interesting particularity: in some cases they extend the simple
commemoration to a real hagiographical note. At this point it becomes
obvious that we are dealing with a parallel to the Georgian Calendrier
from Palestine, published by Grard Garitte
15
. In this document the
same characteristics can be found, although in a much more sporadic
form
16
. Garitte has, of course, noted the relationship between the
Georgian Calendar and manuscript P (Patmos 266) of the Synaxarion
of the Great Church, a precursor of the yzantine synaxarion
17
, or, as
Andrea Luzzi put it, an embryonic draft of a synaxarion
18
. In the li-
turgical normative of the Patmos ms. there is a clear Palestinian ele-
ment
19
, and this type of text presumably originated in the ninth, or, at
the latest, in the first years of the tenth century
20
.
Thus, there are three documents (Sin. georg. 34, Sinai gr. 925 and
Patmos 266) conserving in different ways texts from such areas as
Georgia, Syria, and Palestine that can all be situated in the orbit of, or
are strongly influenced by the hagiopolite tradition in the broader
sense of the term. Given that we are dealing with three different
documents, the Sinaitic bifolium reflects an intermediary stage be-
tween the Georgian calendar and the Patmos ms. as far as the exten-
sions of the hagiographical notes are concerned.

TWO LEAVES OF A CALENDAR IN MIXED UNCIAL 303
The Sinaitic bifolium preserves the fragment of a calendar for
April and May in the following order:

April

23. George the Megalomartyr
25. Mark the Evangelist
27. Christopher Kynokephalos
28. John the Catholic Monk

May

2. Athanasius of Alexandria
6. Job the Righteous
7. The Apparition of the Cross
8. John the Apostle

At first glance the commemorations of our calendar do not assist in
connecting it to a specific geographic location, or perhaps more im-
portantly to a particular liturgical tradition. The feasts and com-
memorations of 23 and 25 April, as well as 2, 6, 7 and 8 May are in
fact common to both the ancient hagiopolite rite and to the Byzantine
rite. The other those of 27 and 28 April two deserve special atten-
tion.
In the synaxaria and in the few Byzantine menaia that have it, the
feast of St. Christopher
21
is registered on 9 May
22
, while the Sinaitic
bifolium put it on 27 April, as in the Syriac calendars
23
, in the marty-
rologium of Rabban Sliba
24
, and in the Georgian Calendrier
25
an
ulterior confirmation of its Near Eastern provenance. St. Christopher
is also commemorated on 27 April in the Sinaitic Tropologion (Sinai
gr. NE MG 56 + 5), copied in the ninth century for the cathedral of

Jerusalem
26
, and this seems to be a decisive argument for the attribu-
tion of the calendar to the hagiopolite tradition.
However, the commemoration of the dormitio of a certain John
with the unusual title catholic monk on 28 April is very curious.
Among the mss. of the Synaxarium Ecclesiae Constantinopoli-
tanae used by Hyppolite Delehaye only the Paris. Coislin 223 of
1300/1 (Mc), deriving from Mount Athos, shows the commemoration
of John, Hegumen of the Monastery tw' n Kaqarw'n not on 28 but on
27 April
27
. On 27 April the saint is listed also in the synaxarion of
Chifflet (Troyes 1204)
28
, and he is celebrated in the menaion Paris gr.
1573 from the fifteenth century
29
. In fact, the date of 27 April corre-
sponds to the dies natalis of the monk John, but this kind of oscilla-
tion is quite common in heortology.
John of Irenopolis in the Decapoli, who was abbot of the monas-
tery of the Catars in Bithynia from 805, had frequent contacts, some-
times also conflictual ones, with Theodore of Studion. John had been
in prison in 815 and in exile in 819 and 832 during the Second Icono-
clasm. He died on 27 April 835 on the island of Aphysia in the Pro-
pontide
30
. The synaxarium mentions him erroneously as one of the Fa-
thers of the Second Council of Nicaea (787). Actually John was pre-
sent, but only as a young man accompanying his master, not within
the number of the Council patres
31
. The title kaqoliko;" monaco;" in
our calendar can be understood as superior of a monastery, an un-
common, but attested sense
32
. The feast of the dormitio of the hegu-

men of Kathara entered the liturgical calendar early. As suggested by
Daniel Stiernon, the more common date of 4 February, under which
the synaxarium commemorates the monk John of Irenopolis
33
, has to
be put in relation to the translation of his relics from Afysia to Con-
stantinople, and, after the final victory of Iconoclasm in 843, to his
monastery of Kathara
34
.
The solid Iconodule faith of the Sinaitic monks makes it highly
probable that the name of John is to be found only in St. Catherines
monastery, a first tangible sign of honour, to which our bifolium is a
witness, although of a short duration
35
. Thus the period between 835
(death of the saint) and 843 (end of the Second Iconoclasm) represents
also the terminus ante quem non for the dating of this text.
