Ръкописи на Александрията в Пловдивската Народна библиотека. Идентификация на текста : Manuscripts of the Alexander Romance (Alexandria) in the National Library “Ivan Vazov” in Plovdiv. Identification of the text.

• This article focuses on codex no. 163 from The National Library “Ivan Vazov” in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. This manuscript, dated to 1836, and previously not included in any publications on the Alexander romance, is a text witness to a Bulgarian vernacular translation of the Romanian Alexander romance. Based on the results provided by а text critical analysis, the author concludes that manuscript no. 163 belongs to the first vernacular Bulgarian translation of the Romanian Alexander romance. In addition, the results of the text critical analysis demonstrate that this manuscript (no. 163) is not a copy of manuscript no. IX F 36 from The Czech National Museum (Národní Muzeum, Prague), which is a known text witness to the first translation of the Romanian Alexander romance to vernacular Bulgarian. The comparison between these two manuscripts also shows that manuscript no. 163 is not a direct copy of the protograph of this translation. There must have existed a previously unknown copy (β) of the protograph, written between 1810 and 1825, that must have been the apograph of both the Prague manuscript and the Plovdiv manuscript (no. 163).
