The New Copy of Pilgrimage Work “The Story by Mount Athos Monk Seleucus” from National Library of Russia Collection

A newly discovered copy of the pilgrimage work 'The Story by Mount Athos Monk Seleucus' from the Titov collection at the National Library of Russia reveals significant insights into the text's history. Paleographical, codicological, and handwriting analyses suggest this copy is a proofreading of a lost manuscript, dating no later than 1878. Comparative analysis with existing Athos and Troizky copies proposes that the Titovsky copy represents a distinct redaction of the text. The study advocates for a comprehensive word-for-word comparison of all three copies to potentially reshape traditional understandings of Seleucus's work.
