The following few pages from Dimitrije Stefanovic's and Milos Velimirovic's article were sent to me by Vladimir, a distinguished member of our forum from Russia. Velimirovic and Stefanovic talk about a ms currently kept in the Yale University Library which contains (a part of?) the Anastasimatarion in Slavonic (the text is not written in the Slavonic alphabet, but is transliterated into Greek) set to music by Petros Lampadarios at the request of Metropolitan Seraphim of Bosnia.
Of itself the fact that Petros composed in Slavonic is most interesting, but also musically the ms gives an important example of Petros' music in the slow sticheraric style. The only composition of an analogous style by Petros that springs to my mind is Kassiane's Troparion.
It will be nice if the ms is studied by some of the Old Notation connoiseurs of the forum.
