Abstract

The study presents the previously unknown list that contains terms designating diacritical marks above letters and punctuation marks, written out on fol. 111v of the Liturgical Miscellany (early 18th century, Vienna, Austrian National Library, Cod. slav. 93). The list offers the most comprehensive record of these marks in Serbian manuscript heritage. It may be assumed with great probability that the scribe of the Miscellany adopted these terms either from the Primer by Theophan Prokopovich, which was published on several occasions between 1724 and 1734, or another, earlier primer in the Russo-Slavonic language. This is indicated by the fact that this type of compendium contains almost identical lists of prosodic and punctuation marks.
