In her paper, the author shows some manuscripts of Pietro Metastasio to be found in the Hungarian National Library from the point of view of language use. She reflects on the chronological sequence of the variations of two works of the poet, pointing out special aspects of their genesis.
The study describes three Church Slavic manuscript liturgical books (a Tetra Gospel from the last decade of the 16th century, a Triodion from the second quarter of the 16th century, a Ritual commemorating the transfer of St. Nicholas's relics from 1594 and an Octoechos from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries.
The aim of this work is to examine reflexes of the Proto-Slavic compounds*t?rt, *t?rt, *t?ltand*t?lttype in the manuscript Vygoleksinskij Sbornik(Collection) which was copied in Old Russian language area at the end of the 12th century. I have found 4 writing methods of the examined reflexes: 1. Old Russian type,309 examples,e.g.v'rh=, d=lgago; 2. two-yer writing method,52 cases,e.g.d'r'xati, m=l=;[;3. reflecting vocalization of the reduced vowel,16examples, e.g.priderxa s/,polnu; 4. mixed type with vocalization and one yer, 4 cases, e.g. v=zver'goh=, s=vol=k=. I haveconcluded that the manuscript reflects the whole russification of the examined reflexes. The examples of the vocalization refer to the fact that the manuscript must have been copied only after 1164, after the writing of the famous Dobrilo Gospel. The cases of the intersyllable assimilation in the root(-)sk'rb-can localize the place of the manuscript's genesis in the southern part of the Old Russian area.

The fragment we are publishing here is preserved in the Chinese Academy of Cultural Heritage (the former China Institute of Cultural Relics). It is a single leaf of an Uigur manuscript originally attached to a Chinese passage of the Lotus sūtra.
