Abstract

The article briefly describes the menology section of lectionary D 227 from the collection of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts. In the 19th century, the manuscript belonged to the monastery of St. George Al-Humaira in Syria, where it was restored by monks. Unfortunately, the restoration was poorly done and some pages at the end of the manuscript have changed their position. The author explores the origin of the early liturgical reading from Lk 19: 1–10 (about Zacchaeus) on the church feast the Girdle of Virgin Mary. Не suggests that the reading about Zacchaeus (Lk 19:1–10) could have appeared in the Constantinople’s lectionaries of the 7th–14th centuries under the influence of the Jerusalem service.
