The two fragments kept in the SS Cyril and Methodius National Library were examined de visu. Their paleographical, orthographic, and linguistic features were summarised in the respective sections of the present description. Cf. Цонев 1910: 34-35; Христова и др. 1982: 29 Куев 1986: 221-223. The information on the fragments kept in Russian libraries was taken from Шмидт 1984: 340-341. and Срезневский 1868, 1: 47-48; 2: 199-201; .

Without binding

 1r–12v anonymous The Cyrillic script of MSS NBKM 499 and NBKM 500 is similar to that of the manuscripts dating from the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century. This writing seems to be early representative of the type of script attested in the first part of the the Pirdop Apostle (ff. 1–5, NBKM 497, 13th c.), Menologion BAN 72 (end of the 13th century), Menologion St. Peterbourg RNL, Pogod. 58 , dated 1339, Paraenesis of Ephrem Syrus (Rila monastery 3/7, second half of the 14th century), Taktikon of Nikon of Montenegro (Rila monastery 1/16, second half of the 14th century). The scribe of is NBKM 499 and NBKM 500 is believed to have written the other four fragments kept in Russian Libraries. The identification was made by Tixomirov Шмидт 1984: 340–341. ; see also Куев 1986: 221–223. The orthographic overview is based only on de visu examination of the fragments kept in NBKM (499 and 500). Unfortunately, the publication of Grigorij Il'inski Ильинский 1908: 366–379was not available to us. The two letters for jers are used, in Menologion in NBKM 499 the front jer is much more frequent than in Synaxarion. In word-final position the back jer is preferred. It is preferred also following letters ж, ш, щ, while following ч both jers could be seen. There are many examples of writing of е for the front jer both in roots (e.g. весъ 9r and particularly often in root -шед-) and suffixes (e.g. -енъ, -ець) and also in G. Pl., jo-declension съгрѣшенеи 12r. Still, there are examples with jer, e.g. пришълъци 9r and the variation тъмнѣмъ (1v) темницѫ (4r). In NBKM 499 and NBKM 500 only two instances of О for back jer is attested in suffix, e.g. избьітокь (12r) and любовь (5r), but in root and prefixes jer is preserved, e.g. дъждь. Examples with О for back jer in suffix were found by G. Il'inskij in BAN 24.4.7 (Srezn. 54) and two are quoted by Куев 1986: 221 , viz. начѧтокь, любовь. The adversative conjunction appears both as нъ and нѫ. A case of assimilation after the fall of a week jer is attested, тѧкомь (5v). Further, the spelling дьвери is found. Following letters р and л both jers are used without a pattern. Three letters for the nasal vowels are used: big jus, small jus, and rarely jotated small jus following a vowel, most often following small jus or big jus. There are several cases of writing of small jus for the big one following a vowel but this is not a strictly consistent pattern. Small jus is used after letters for the soft consonants р, л, н, ч. Following letters ш, щ the big jus is preferred, while following ч the small jus is written as a rule. Following ц both juses are attested. The jotated ꙗ is regularly used in word-initial position and following a vowel, while after letters н, р, л, ч, ц ѣ is written. Thus, the norm is ша, чѣ, рѣ, лѣ, нѣ, цꙗ, ꙗ.. The jotated ѥ also appears in word-initial position and after vowel, but with the same function гдⷭ҇и wide є is also used. The letter ы appears regularly for и in the verb изити. The scribe preserves l-epentheticum in many forms but there examples without it, such as вьзлюбеньіи (1v, 2v), блтвениемь (2v). The scribe uses letter ꙃ in its archaic form. Wide ѻ is used mainly in word-initial position and in postvocalic one. The scribe uses inconsistently izhica with two dots above in Greel loan-words and particularly following the letters for velars. Both и and оу could be found for the Greek ypsilon in Greek loans; cf. variation сумона, сумеона, лоуканьскьі листрѫ. , but regularly егупетьстѣи, куринеискьі. Both еу and ев appear in Greek loans, the latter prevailing in Menologion part. The Greek letters thita and ksi are also used in Greek loans but they are usually combined with Cyrillic letters denoting the sound with which these Greek elements are substituted in Slavic, e.g. евьстѳатия, маѯсима. The fragments have archaic morphology and use asigmatic Aoristus, but also some typical Middle Bulgarian features appear, such as the ending "-ie" for the Pl. of masculine nouns, e.g. мѫжие 5v , досадителие 10r, свѣдѣтелие 3v. Also in 1 p. Pl. the ending "-my" appears, especially in the v.substantivum, such as сльішахомьі 1v, есмьі 3v, 5r, although the old forms are also used. Pronominal endings for adjectives are also used, even the form творѧщоому 12v is attested. In many cases the fragments preserve the variant readings typical of the archaic Apostoloi reflecting the Cyrillo-Methodian translation. Still, in some places it has Preslavisms which are not consistently used. For instance, the manuscript uses both постити and алкати, етеръ and нѣкъто, съньмище and съборъ. The manuscript uses диꙗволъ Act 13: 10, 14: 38 instead of неприѣзнь in Archaic Apostoloi, including in the Slepče Apostolos. Also it prefers островъ, старѣишина жрьчьскьі and several other Preslavisms. The manuscript is a full (long) Aprakos (lectionary) Apostolos, beginning with the mobile cycle after Easter. Parts of the Menologion are also preserved. The distribution of readings (lections) coincides with what is published by C. R. Gregory for the Greek tradition Gregory 1900 The Menologion is shorter than that of NBKM 882, NBKM 847 (Banica Gospel) and the Greek sources as Patmos Typikon 266, and Holy Cross 40. Коцева, Атанасов 1993: 225–226. It has several commemorations typical of the calendar of the Church in Constantinople and connected with the history of the town. The manuscript uses archaic lexis and is considered to belong to the archaic group of Apostoloi representing the Cyrillo-Methodian translation; see Воскресенский 1879: 111–112; . It uses several Preslavisms and shares common reading with the Slepče Apostolos as a full Aprakos Apostolos and more rarely with the Matica Srpska Apostolos; examples for common readings with the Slepče Apostolos as opposed to other archaic Apostoloi: заповѣданое Act 10: 32 vs повелѣное in Archaic Apostoloi; оударившоу Act 12: 12 vs тлькнѫвъшоу, алчѧщимь Act 13: 2 vs постѧщимъ, but пощъше Act 13: 3 as in archaic Apostoloi vs алъкавъше in the Slepče Apostolos. In several cases it has the readings of the Šišatovac Apostolos and Vranešnica Apostolos. Judging from the presence of some verses typical of the continuous Apostolos in the lections of the manuscript, one could suspect that its antigraph/ protograph was based on a continuous Apostolos.

I. Sreznevskij informs that there was there a note containing the name of priest Manuil after whom the manuscript was named. On the right margin of 1r of BAN 4.5.23 (Syrku 15) P. A. Syrku has left a note with pencil that this fragment had been acquired from the library of a school in Plovdiv. He also wrote with pencil "Plovdiv" on the low margin of BAN 4.5.24 (Syrku 16). Further, on 1r of Grig. 15.III, V. I. Grigorović wrote "С Балканов. Богоев." It has been supposed that V. I. Grigorović received the fragment from A. Bogoev-Bogorov in Leipzig in 1847; on the history of the fragments, see Шмидт 1984: 340–341., and Куев 1986: 221–223. The fragments in the collections of Syrku and Sreznevskij became possession of the Library of the Academy of Sciences in St.Petersburg when these collections were housed there. The fragment in the collection of Grigorović as a part of this collection was housed in the State Library in Moscow. Ms 499 was given to the National Library in Sofia by A. Vǎrbanov.
