Hello!
I recently bought a small manuscript leaf written Old Church Slavonic.
It is about 80 words on 30 short lines. I assume it is from a religious
text, as I can recogize a few of the words from my Russian language
background, and besides, what other subject would one write about in
OCS?
In an answer, I am hoping for as much of the following as possible:
1. A transliteration in OCS (Font available at
http://babel.uoregon.edu/yamada/fonts/ocslavonic.html)
2. A translation of the text.
3. With luck, an idea of which text, parable, or story this fragment
is a part of. I don't think it is part of the Bible per se.
Bol'shoye spacibo to anyone who helps!
The page images are viewable at the following links. I'm not sure of
the correct order of the two pages, so I guessed.
