Pisar Evanđelja iz Dovolje

The paper analyzes the graphic and linguistic features of the scribe of the Gospel from Dovolja, a Bosnian Church Slavonic manuscript from Giljferding’s collection (Гильф. 7) which is kept in the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg. Since changes in the manuscript are recorded in the writing of the codex in such a way as to indicate the changes of scribes, it is examined at the palaeographic level whether it is one or more scribes. Comparison of letter forms showed that the codex was written by one hand, and the reasons for changing the handwriting are the result of the scribe’s rather careless attitude towards the text, which is confirmed by numerous other errors in the process of writing the manuscript. At the linguistic level, numerous innovations are recorded, the penetration of which is a consequence of the very casual attitude of the scribe towards the text.
