These two Moravian-Pannoniąn legends are the principal sources of their class.

was scarcely justified. ]
“ Nestor. ” The old Russian chronicler interpolates a narrative under the year 898.
This text, which is identical in the two principal “ Nestor” MSS (Laurentian
and Hypatian), is dependent on the Pannonian Methodius-Legend, see above,
but contains modifications of later Bulgarian origin. Published by the Russian
Archaeographical Commission, St Petersburg, 1846 and again 1872. French
transl. Leger, L. Chronique dite de Nestor. Paris. 1884.
Later Slavonic legends. These are publ. both separately and by Bil’basov (see below

Translation of the relics of St Clement. A Slavonic legend translated from the
Greek possibly based upon a work by Constantine (Cyril) himself. Publ. in
Kirillo-Mefodievski Sbornik. Ed. Pogodin, M. P. Moscow. 1865. It has
been discussed by Franko, J. , St Clement in the Chersonese, an essay on the
early Christian legend, pp. 242-52 (in the language of Little Russia), Lemberg

in Památky Hlaholského Písemnictví, Prague, 1853, according to the text com-
