Abstract
This paper completes the study of the synaxarion redaction dedicated to St. Alexander of Svirsky. At the moment, I know three manuscript and one old-print editions. The focus of the paper is a brief history of each edition. For the 1st redaction, an additional source has been found - the synaxarion redaction of Varlaam of Khutynsk. The 2nd, 3rd and Early Printed Synaxarion redactions have the Menaion redaction of the Lifе of Alexander Svirsky as their source. All of thеm appeared independently of each other, none of the manuscript redactions was used in the compilation of The Early Printed Synaxarion redaction. All titles are given according to the dates of the manuscripts, in which they were found. The third edition, preserved in a single copy from the collection of the Russian State Library F. 37, No. 194, greatly damaged, has been partially reconstructed. This manuscript is a Prologue, which differs in composition from the known manuscript and The Early Printed Synaxarion redactions. It is clear from the inscription that for some time this Prologue was in the Alexander-Svirsky monastery courtyard. A preliminary examination revealed a group of texts known only from this manuscript or rarely spread in the manuscript tradition of the corresponding hagiographies. It is quite possible that all of them were created for this complex. All four Synaxarion Redactions have been prepared for publication in the appendix.
