Вопрос о богослужебном пении в федосеевском сборнике "Отеческие завещания". Статья вторая

Abstract

For the first time, the article publishes the chapter “On Church Singing” from the Paternal Testaments collection of Fedoseevtsy Old Believers, which was compiled in their ideological center, Moscow Preobrazhenskoe cemetery, to approve the rules that determined the life of Fedoseevtsy communities in the 19th century. The text of the work is being published according to the surviving photocopy of the protograph with discrepancies according to the copies known to date. All copies date back to the second half of the 19th century, the protograph was created at the beginning of the century. The publication is preceded by a commentary on the textological differences in the original and copies, and hypothetical relationships between them are built. In order to properly analyze the discrepancies and determine the correlation of the copies, it is necessary to compare the entire collection, since the versions of the work known to us have come down as its parts. However, the author of the article aims to consider only the chapter “On Church Singing”, so she is limited to the reasoning above. In the commentary preceding the publication of the monument, the rules by which it is published are described regarding spelling and punctuation, indicating numbers and dates, numbering sheets, etc. This publication is a continuation of the article “On church singing in the Fedoseevtsy collection Paternal Testaments. Article I”, which views the place of the monument in the controversy about church singing in the second half of the 18th – early 19th centuries and analyzes the text of the chapter. It contains answers to questions about the creation of the monument and an analysis of the circle of literature drawn by the author of the chapter, as well as explanations for most of the terms and names found in the text.
