Взаимоотношения восточнославянской редакции Евангелия и старочешского перевода Библии

Some lexical correspondence of the Old Czech and the East Slavic recension of the Old Church Slavonic Gospels and Psalter have been already described. The occurrence of common variants in the Gospels of the oldest Czech Bible (the Bible of Dresden, manuscript of the second half of 14th century) and in Old Church Slavonic Chudov recension of the Gospels were explained by J. Vintr due to the influence of the Old Czech translation on the Chudov recension. Based on a thorough comparison of part of Matthew’s Gospel (Mt 7.5 – 8.14) from many manuscripts of both Slavic traditions, we demonstrate that the direction of the effect was opposite – the East Slavic Gospel text influenced the translation of the Gospels in the oldest manuscript of Old Czech Bible. We believe that such influence was not an isolated phenomenon but it occurred on several occasions, at least until the end of the 14th century.
