The subject of the monograph is a polemic-apologetical manuscript year-book, which is located in the National Library of Ukraine, Institute of Manuscripts, collection № 312, shelf mark Соф 104 (105). The manuscript is written in semi-uncial Cyrillic script in the Church Slavonic language. It is a late 16th century year-book against Protestantism concerning questions about the Eucharist, transubstantiation and liturgy. The preface of the manuscript is explaining the aim of compiling the year-book. It is interesting for its ecclesiology, especially because it illustrates the relation between Byzantine Christians and Latin Catholics in the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth. The questions of Ecclesial affiliation of the author, his theological background as well as the date of composing the preface are also examined. The manuscript contains also a rare liturgy – the Liturgy of St. Peter. The structure of the liturgy is studied with the aim to state more precisely the process of its compilation. The analysis of the text of the liturgy, its structure, environment and manuscript tradition is also provided in order to determine whether it belongs to the Byzantine or the Latin tradition. It is one of the four preserved Slavonic manuscripts with this liturgy; the three other manuscripts are also briefly examined and compared in the monograph. The question about a possible relation of the Liturgy of St. Peter to the Cyrillo-Methodian mission is examined as well as the question of the date of its Slavonic translation.

St. Nahum of Ochrid was one of the most important disciples of Sts. Cyril and Methodius. The oldest evidence of his veneration as a saint is the First Slavonic Life, which was written before 969. Nowadays five different lives of St. Nahum are preserved, three of them are Slavic and two are Greek. Most of them were part of a service (akoluthia) to St. Nahum. The Second Slavonic Life of St. Nahum of Ochrid is known from a single manuscript from the 16th century, which was discovered in the mid-19th century. The manuscript was deposited in the Belgrade National Library and burned down during World War II. The text was published several times (the most important are the editions by Y. Ivanov and P. A. Lavrov). The Second Slavonic Life of St. Nahum is written in Church Slavonic language of the middle Bulgarian redaction influenced by the local language. The date of its compilation is determined differently by different scholars. Some put it to a span between the 12th and the first half of the 13th century, while most scholars put it to the 16th century. The Second Slavonic Life of St. Nahum gives us information about Nahum’s origin. The Cyrillo-Methodian mission and its activity are geographically not localized correctly. The text pays much attention to the voyage to Rome and in particular to the approval of Slavonic liturgical books. A significantly positive relationship to Rome and the Roman Pontiff can be observed when describing these events. A significant part of the work describes the persecution and expulsion of the disciples of St. Methodius from Great Moravia, but does not give us any new information concerning the Long Life of St. Clement. The author does not use these events to elaborate a theological reflection or polemical tractates against the Latin Church. The Second Slavonic Life of St. Nahum widens our knowledge about the foundation of Nahum’s monastery and church. This information comes probably from a donation inscription on the church or from oral tradition. The text also specifies where the grave of St. Nahum is localized.
