Резюме:
The Life of St. Romil Vidinski” is known in its Greek and in its Slavic version. So far,
science confirms that the original text was written in Greek and later translated in Old Bulgarian,
with the author adding some paragraphs to the text, thus becoming a co-author. The aim of
the present research is to elaborate on the short textological history of the biography adding
some observations on its intertextual relation to the book “Ladder”, which is present in it as
a metatext. The comparisons are based on the three versions of the Old Bulgarian translation
of “Ladder”: the Old Preslav Translation (OPT) – 10th century, the Edited Old Translation
(EOT) of the old John and/or monk Marko of Athos (the 14th century) and the New Bulgarian
Translation (of Euthymius) (NBT) dating from the 14th century.
On the basis of the observations it is suggested that the original text of the biography
is in Old Bulgarian literary language, while the Greek text represents a translation. The apparent
differences between the two texts have given grounds to define the Old Bulgarian text as an
expanded version – a rare case of moving from a short Greek text to a rather expanded Old
Bulgarian text, which is not characteristic of the Medieval Translation tradition. We cannot,
however, exclude the possibility of the biography being composed on the Mount of Athos (a
place inhabited by monks of different nationalities) originally in Old Bulgarian, and later
translated into Greek as a necessary monastic reading probably by the author himself – monk
Grigorii of Athos. But this can only be proved after a linguistic research of the Old Bulgarian
and the Greek texts and a comparison between the two on the lexical and stylistic levels.
