Kiril and Methodius: Founders of Slavonic Writing : A Collection of Sources and Critical Studies (East European Monographs)
by Ivan Dujčev (red.)
Category: Church Slavic literature

In addition to five critical essays from modern times, It contains a variety of late 9th through 10th century material in translation, a good deal of it side by side with the Old Church Slavonic. This is a great book to have for anyone interested in knowing what the students Cyril and Methodius believed and taught. It is very eclectic, covering not only what we would consider religious thought, but also natural philosophy and science, politics of language, history and even a bit of psychology. It also has the Saint's Lives of Cyril, Methodius, and Clement of Ohrid, which are fairly straightforward but, as they were written by contemporaries, give a good historical background to the more "academic" primary sources. occasional typos and relatively poor printing quality (especially for the Cyrillic selections) is a bit of a disappointment, but its still an invaluable resource for anyone interested in slavic religious and literary culture.
