И. А. Шилова The purpose of this article is to characterize a genre modification of the Old Russian collection "Prologue", represented by an Old Believer manuscript from the late 18[th century in the collection of M. N. Tikhomirov (State Public Scientific Technological Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences). The novelty of this study stems from the lack of specialized scholarly works devoted to the use of this anthology in the late tradition, as well as the introduction of a manuscript containing readings from “The Prologue”, which has been preserved and used in Old Believer circles. Its codicological features (format, paper watermarks, handwriting) are characterized; based on the analysis of the composition of the collection, the design of the main text and marginalia, it is established that its source is the Moscow edition of “The Prologue” of 1642. The genre specificity of the miscellany is revealed; the compiler has not reproduced the text of the publication in its entirety, but selected individual readings, primarily sermons and lives of Russian and South Slavic saints. Examples of similar and contrasting relationships between hagiographic and hagiographic texts are presented in other collection of articles from the 18 th -century Prologue. A conclusion is drawn regarding the existence in the late manuscript tradition of a type of manuscript in which the general structure of the collection is preserved but its composition, defining its genre specificity, changes, the dominant focus being hagiographic or didactic readings.
