Abstract

The paper examines a recently discovered Serbo-Slavonic manuscript of the Apocrypha on Joseph the Beautiful, kept in the Sokolov Collection of State Historical Museum in Moscow. Based on the analysis, its position among other known manuscripts in Serbo-Slavonic manuscript tradition is assessed, and the question of its belonging to a particular apocryphal group on Joseph known as The Sermon of Ephrem the Syrian is examined. Likewise, linguistic and orthographic, as well as stylistic, characteristics of the preserved text are determined.
