Богослужебные тексты как литературный источник средневековой проповеди: поучения Григория Цамблака

Having traced the various references to liturgical texts in the sermons of Gregory Tsamblak, we can assert, firstly, that he follows the preachers who wrote in an ornamental style and uses liturgical texts as literary sources. Secondly, he writes much more logically structured and less lyrical works than his contemporaries who created in an expressive-emotional style, but Tsamblak's lyrical digressions also depend on hymnographic imagery and artistry, like those of Epiphanius the Wise, Pachomius Logothete and others. Thirdly, there was a certain artistic method of using hymnographic texts in the original works of medieval authors, which consisted, on the one hand, in borrowing artistic techniques, syntax and imagery of hymnography, and on the other hand, in revealing the most meaningful hymns in a sermon, interpreting the theological ideas contained in the service.
