The Neapolitan Wall Calendar From

A Medieval Slavic Perspective
Cynthia M. Vakareliyska
1. Introduction
The Neapolitan wall calendar (NWC) is a a full-year Latin-language calendar of
saints dated to the mid-ninth century (Mazzocchi 1744-55), carved in marble at the
mid-sixth-century Church of St. John the Baptist in Naples. It combines the Western
and Eastern calendar traditions, and contains enough Eastern saints commemora-
tions to be described as a menology. As Archimandrite Sergij notes (Spasskij 1901,
vol. 1, pp. 978), only about 30 commemorations in the NWC are Western, while
another c. 25 entries commemorate local Neapolitan bishops and saints whose identi-
ties are not known. Of the Eastern saints, approximately 20 occur in Greek calendars
alone in Archimandrite Sergijs collation (Spasskij 1901, vol. 1) and not in any Slavic
calendars in his corpus (ibid.). Sergij also notes that the calendar can be considered to
reflect a seventh-century Eastern tradition, since the last Constantinople patriarch that
it names is Thomas (d. 610), together with other figures of the same period.
Detailed commentaries on the NWC have been published by Sabbatini (Sab-
batini dAnfora 1744) and Mazzochi (1744-55, limited to the first half of the cal-
endar, from January through June). In 1831, Mai published an annotated edition of
the NWC containing corrections of Sabbatinis and Mazzochis transcriptions, but
without commentary on the calendars substantive content. Although the NWC is
included in Archimandrite Sergijs collation of medieval Greek and Slavic calendars
of saints (Spasskij 1901, vol. 2), and is described briefly there (vol. 1, pp. 97-8), this
paper relies on Mai (1831) for the text of the calendar, since Archimandrite Sergijs
collation contains numerous errors in attributions to specific calendars, omits many
of the NWCs calendar entries, and does not include its Latin textual formulae.
A cursory comparison of the NWC with the other calendars in Archimandrite
Sergijs collation suggests that its content with respect to the Eastern saints is quite
similar to that of the synaxaria to the Greek Sinai canons of the 9th through 11th
centuries. Identifying other calendars that share a common tradition with the NWC

131

is complicated, however, by the physical genre of the NWC: as a carving on church

doors, the calendar was subject to space restrictions that limited its substantive con-
tent usually to only one commemoration per day. (Sergij notes only c. 25 dates with
two commemorations.) For the same reason, where two saints, such as Cosmas and
Damian, are traditionally celebrated together on the same date, the NWC usually lists
only one of them. The dates February 29, March 8 and 14, and October 19 are mis
sing, apparently because the commemorations for the immediately preceding dates
spilled over into the spaces intended for these dates.
The NWC has generally been compared to other Latin and Greek calendars.
This paper, however, compares it to later Slavic calendars, with the goal of determi
ning whether any of the Western saints that occur sporadically in the menologies to
the Ostromir Gospel, the Ohrid Apostol, and later Slavic calendars of various genres,
can be traced to the mixed Greek-Western tradition that is reflected in the NWC.
Section two below lists all NWC commemorations that are not found either
in the Martyrologium Romanum (Baronius 1583, MR) or in any Greek or Slav-
ic sources in Archimandrite Sergijs collation. The Western commemorations in the
NWC are identified in section three, based on their co-occurrence in the MR and/
or the sixth-century Martyrologium Hieronymianum (de Rossi & Duchesne 1894,
MH). Section four provides commemorations in NWC from the synaxarion of the
9th-10th-century Constantinople Typikon (CT; Holy Trinity version (H) Matos
1962, Patmos version (P) Krasnoselcev 1892) that were dropped from the later
10th-century Menologion of Emperor Basil (Bas, Il Men. 1907). Other rare com-
memorations that are shared by one or more Greek calendars in Sergijs collation are
listed in section five. Section six presents uncommon NWC commemorations that are
shared by Slavic calendars in Sergijs collation and in a corpus of c. 125 additional
mostly unpublished Slavic calendars that I examined in archives in Bulgaria, Russia,
and England, and at the microfilm library at the Hilandar Research Center at The
Ohio State University.1 Conclusions are presented in section seven.

2. Unique commemorations
The following 106 NWC commemorations, many of which are local Neapolitan
feasts, are not listed for any other calendars in Archimandrite Sergijs collation, nor
do they occur in any Slavic calendars in my corpus.2 Of these, 21 are on days imme-

The corpus has been assembled in connection with an online digital collation of medieval Slavic
calendars of saints that I have been developing over the past 17 years. I am enormously grateful to David
J. Birnbaum for designing the blueprint for the collation and its search program, and for his generous as-
sistance with innumerable technical issues over the many years that I have been working on the collation.

The NWC follows the Western tradition by beginning the year in January. Since, however, this
paper focuses on Eastern commemorations in the NWC, its commemorations are listed here according
to the Eastern Orthodox tradition, beginning the Church year in September.

Bacchus appears together with companion saint Sergius on the preceding day, October 7, in CT,
Bas, and MR (and in Slavic calendars ZT, 882, Oh). October 7 is one of the few dates for which the
NWC has two commemorations: Sergius alone, as is its wont with regard to pairs of saints, and Marcel-
lus. Possibly Bacchus was forced onto the following line, which was already designated for October 8,
for space reasons, and is intended to be read as part of the October 7 commemoration.

Of more interest are the 12 Western commemorations in NWC that occur in the
MR and in one or more Slavic calendars in the corpus, but not in the CT or Bas.These
co-occurrences with both early and later Slavic calendars indirectly support the pro
position by Miklas and niter (1998) that Western saints made their way into Slavic

136
 The Neapolitan Wall Calendar From A Medieval Slavic Perspective

calendars through Italo-Greek calendar sources:

September 27 Cosmas the Silverless, martyr at Rome (with Damian) (Arx);
29 Dedication of the Church of the Archangel Michael on Mt. Gargano(MH, Arx,
ZT, PM).
November 11 Martin, Bishop of Tours, Confessor (882, PM); 23 Pope Clement
I of Rome, martyr (MH, Oh, ZT, PM); 24 Chrysogonus, martyr, spiritual adviser of
Anastasia (882).
December 31 Pope Sylvester of Rome, Confessor (Os, Oh, ZT, PM).
April 14 Tiburtius, martyr, buried with Valerianus and Maximus near Rome (B).
May 3 Discovery of the Holy Cross (MH, ZT).
June 15 Vitus/Guy, martyr at Rome (with instructor Modestus and nurse Cres-
centia) (MH, As, Os, B, C);35 18 Marcellianus, deacon, martyr at Rome (with his twin
Mark) (ZT, PM); 19 Gervasius, Protomartyr at Milan (with Protasius, Nazarius, and
Celsus) (882, ZT, PM); 30 Apostle Paul (882).
The distribution of these early Western commemorations in Slavic calendars is
inconsistent, and they are particularly scarce in the earliest Slavic calendars, which,
however, contain other Western commemorations (see Vakareliyska 2008, ch. 6).
The Codex Assemanianus (As) has only the June 15 commemoration of Vitus/Guy,
which is also the only Western commemoration from the NWC to appear in the me-
nologies to the closely related 14th-century Curzon Gospel (C) and Banica Gospel
(B). The menology to the 1055-56 East Slavic Ostromir Gospel (Os) shares the
June 15 Vitus/Guy listing and the December 31 commemoration of Pope Sylvester.
The latter co-occurs in the menology to the 12th-century Bulgarian Ohrid Apostol
(Oh), which also contains the commemoration of Pope Clement I on November 23.
The two Western NWC commemorations in the menology to the East Slavic Arkhan-
gelsk Gospel (Arx) are both found at the end of September.
A greater number of the NWCs Western commemorations (including the Sep-
tember 29 entry) occur in the late 13th- or early 14th-century Bulgarian Zograph Tre-
phologion, a full-year menaion also known as the Draganov Menaion (ZT), and the
nearly-identical Bulgarian full-year Palauzov Menaion (F72) of the same period.36
Unsurprisingly, these two year-long menaia share more NWC entries of any kind
than most other calendars in the corpus, because they both usually contain multiple
commemorations per day, sometimes up to ten or more for a given date. ZT and PM
also share with Oh and Strum the NWCs commemoration of Pope Clement (Nov.
23), and with Oh and Os the commemoration of Pope Sylvester on December 31.ZT
is the only Slavic calendar to mark together with NWC the Discovery of the Holy

35
882 has Vitus companions Modestus and Crescentia but omits Vitus himself.

Cross on May 3; it is absent from PM, which tends to be more conservative than ZT,
omitting garbled or unfamiliar names. It is ZT, however, which omits Martin, Bishop
of Tours (Nov. 11), likely by oversight, while PM shares it with the menology to the
13th- or 14th-century Bulgarian apostol No. 882 in the collection of the SS. Cyril and
Methodius National Library in Sofia (882).
The four early Western commemorations shared by the NWC and 882 are particu-
larly interesting because the scholarly focus on 882 up to now has been largely on its
MarchAugust portion, which shares a common source with the supplemental Slavic
calendar that the Banica Gospel has used to insert lesser feastdays into the second half
of the Church year (Vakareliyska 2008, ch. 6). Since B uses only portions of that source,
it is not surprising that it is 882 and not B that is consistent in containing NWC Western
commemorations in both halves of the Church year. Among the Slavic calendars, 882
alone shares with the NWC the commemoration of Chrysogonus on November 4. It
also contains the NWCs November 11 listing for Martin, Bishop of Tours, with PM,
and the June 30 commemoration of Apostle Paul on June 30, together with the meno
logy to the 13th-century Serbian Deani-Crkolez Apostolus (DC2).

4. Archaic CT commemorations
Thirty-three of the NWC commemorations also appear on the same dates in the
CT, but were excluded later from Bas. Nine of these archaic celebrations are shared
only with Greek calendars. Five in this subgroup are found only by a few other Greek
calendars in Archimandrite Sergijs collation:
December 24 Schinon, Greek martyr by beheading (with Eususius and Agatha).
March 26 Sabinus, martyr (with Manuel, Codratus, and Theodosius); 28 Bishop
Eutychius, identity uncertain.
April 27 Dedication of the Old and New Church of Irene, Megalomartyr.
August 25 Apostle Bartholomew (CT(P)).37
The remaining four archaic CT commemorations found in NWC are not attri
buted to any other calendars in Archimandrite Sergijs corpus. All but one of these
occur only in the Patmos copy of the CT (P), and not in the Holy Cross Monastery
copy (H):
November 12 Victor, martyr in Syria (with Stephanis/Corona) (P).
January 15 Elpidius, martyr (with Danax and Helen) (P).
March 13 Publius, Bishop of Athens, martyr (H, P).
May 13 Polybius, Bishop of Rinokira/Rhynocyra, disciple of Epiphanius of Sa-
lamis (P).
The remaining 24 CT commemorations co-occur in Slavic calendars from the

37
The calendars that Archimandrite Sergij lists for this commemoration include an unidentified
calendar Xil. that may be Slavic.

138
 The Neapolitan Wall Calendar From A Medieval Slavic Perspective

corpora as well as in Greek ones. An unidentified martyr Romanus on September

25, who is also found in the Patmos version of the CT, is recorded in only two other
Greek calendars in Archimandrite Sergijs 1901 collation, but appears in 12 Slavic
calendars, both early and late: As, Sav, Os, Arx, Oh, Slep, Rum. 112., B, C, 882, ZT,
and PM. The largest number of archaic CT commemorations shared by the NWC are
found in Slavic calendars in October and November:
October 4 Theotecnus of Antioch, martyr (248., DoMak. and others, per Ar-
chimandrite Sergij, 882); 23 Zacharias the Priest, father of John the Baptist (Oh, ZT
but not PM); 28 Diomedes, martyr in Africa (Oh, 239.; also 882, which conflates
Diomedes with Domninus); 29 Apostle Barnabas (Oh, ZT, PM); 31 Heraclius the
Warrior, martyr at Adrianople in Thrace (Oh, 882).
November 4 Theodotus, martyr at Ancyra (with Dasius et al.) (319., ZT but not
PM); 10 Emperor Theodosius II The New (Oh Theodore the Emperor, 882);
12 Arsacius, martyr by sword (239.); 19 Dasius, martyr at Durostorum (Dorostolum)
in Moesia(Carp; P); 28 Dedication of Church of Prophet Elisha (882, ZT, PM).38
December 11 Terentius, martyr (with Vincent, Emilianus, and Bebea) (Oh),
16 Modestus, Patriarch of Jerusalem (Oh, ZT, PM, Mak.).
January 24 Philo, Bishop of Carpasia on Cyprus (Oh, 882).
February 20 Cendius, Bishop of Pisidia (Oh).
March 6 Basil, Bishop of Cherson, martyr (Oh).
April 5 Thermos, martyr (Oh, 1370.).
May 4 Aphrodisius, martyr at Scythopolis in Palestine (Os, DC2); 18 Epaphro
ditus of the Seventy Disciples (Rum.).
June 12 Zeno, Greek bishop of Leucosia in Cyprus (240.).
July 4 Donatus, Bishop of Libya (DC2); 16 Anthiocus, physician at Sebaste,
martyr (240., Strum, ZT, PM); 17 Speratus, martyr(with Veronica) (240.); 18 Marcel-
lus, Greek martyr (with Dasius and Myron) (240., ZT, PM).
Oh shares twelve archaic CT commemorations with the NWC; the pair ZT/PM
have eight, and 882 has seven. All of 882s seven shared CT commemorations fall
within the first half of the Church year, suggesting that its source for these may have
been a SeptemberFebruary menaion. Although 240. is a prologue for the entire se
cond half of the Church year, its four shared CT listings with the NWC all occur in
June and July. Outside of the September 25 entry for Romanus, which is more com-
mon in Slavic calendars, the two CT commemorations shared by Os with the NWC
also occur at the end of the Church year, in July and August.
Of course, the correspondences in CT entries alone are insufficient to indicate a

38
The NWCs CT entry for Silas of the Seventy Disciples (Nov. 26) possibly co-occurs in 239.
Archimandrite Sergijs collation includes for this commemoration a calendar 249 that does not appear
in his manuscript code list (1901: 372) and that may be a typographical error for 239.

139

relationship between the NWC and Oh, 882, and ZT-PM, because each of these cal-
endars contains additional CT commemorations that the others do not have. Hence a
comparison of CT entries alone would show only that both the NWC and the Slavic
calendars are based partly on the archaic textual tradition found in the CT. The Slavic
calendars could easily have acquired their archaic CT entries from later Greek cal
endars, and indeed this is most likely. When viewed, however, in the context of the
Western entries that these Slavic calendars share with the NWC, and of rare non-CT
commemorations that they also share with the NWC, the CT correspondences acquire
more significance.

5. Other uncommon commemorations

Six NWC commemorations correspond only with the 9th-century Greek gospel
menology Sin. 1. in Archimandrite Sergijs collation:

Another six NWC commemorations occur in a larger number of Greek calen-
dars, but in only one to three Slavic calendars in the corpus:
September 19 Januarius, Bishop of Beneventum, Hieromartyr (CT, Bas, Petr.
and others, MR, MH, 239, Prolog,882).
October 1 Arethas the Governor, martyr (Sin. 1-2., Konst., Kap., Ier., Ekl, As,
Oh, 882).
November 1 Caesarius, deacon, martyr at Terracina (CT, Petr., Gr. 111., Sirl.,

2., Ap. 346., Ekl (Ven. Geruntius), Xlud. 35., 240., B, 882, ZT, PM (the last 3 de-
scribe him as a bishop).
June 2 Erasmus, martyr (with Pyrrhus and Gerasimus) (CT, Sin. 1., Kap., M. 12
v., As, Sof., 882, ZT, PM).
Also of interest is the December 12 commemoration of Daniel Stylites, Confes-
sor, that co-occurs only in the Slavic calendars As and Oh, and is not indicated for any
of the Greek calendars in Archimandrite Sergijs collation.

6. Analysis and summary

The lists in this section show the distribution of CT, Western, and other uncom-
mon NWC commemorations over the Church year in specific Slavic calendars. The
highest number are in the menology 882 (14 matches) and in one or both of the full-
year menaia in the pair ZT and PM (21 matches). Proportionately, 882 has a higher
rate of matches with uncommon NWC entries than ZT-PM do, since as a menology,
it does not generally list as many commemorations per day as the full menaia do. The
month with the highest concentration of uncommon NWC matches for both 882 and
ZT-PM is November, where 882 has five and ZT-PM have six, although they share
only two of these with each other. It has been shown that 882 and ZT-PM are part
of a family of 13th-/14th-century Bulgarian calendars that share a tradition charac-

141
 C. M. Vakareliyska

terized by numerous archaic CT commemorations together with a commemoration of

the Western saint Arnulph, Bishop of Metz, on July 18 (see Vakareliyska 2008, ch. 6).
In light of this identified relationship, the clustering of uncommon NWC commemo
rations in the same two months in both these calendars is significant, because it indi-
cates that they have a closer relationship with each other than either of them has with
C and B, the other two members of the family, which have very few uncommon NWC
commemorations. From this it can be extrapolated that 882 and ZT-PM share a com-
mon ancestor that combined the CT/Arnulph source with a Greek source based partly
on the tradition found in the NWC. The fact that these correspondences are shared by a
menology to an apostolus (882) and a full-year menaion (ZT-PM) shows yet again that
calendar traditions and sources transcend calendar genres (see Vakareliyska 2008, ibid.)

 The Neapolitan Wall Calendar From A Medieval Slavic Perspective

Unlike 882 and ZT-PM, the early Slavic calendars that contain uncommon NWC
entries do not share any date clustering patterns, although some of the commemora-
tions co-occur in more than one of these calendars:

As
September 25 Romanus, martyr.
October 1 Arethas the Governor, martyr.
December 12 Daniel Stylites, Confessor.
June 2 Erasmus, martyr; 15 Vitus/Guy, martyr at Rome.

Os
September 25 Romanus, martyr.
December 31 Pope Sylvester of Rome.
March 24 50/35/8 martyrs at Caesarea in Palestine.
June 15 Vitus/Guy, martyr at Rome.

Arx
September 27 Cosmas the Silverless; 29 Dedication of the Church of the Archangel
Michael.
August 31 Alexander, Bishop of Byzantium.

Slep
January 15 Benedict of Nursia, Confessor.
May 26 Apostle Jude/Thaddeus.

Oh
September 25 Romanus, martyr.
October 1 Arethas the Governor, martyr; 28 Diomedes, martyr in Africa;
31 Heraclius the Warrior, martyr.
November 10 Emperor Theodosius II The New; 23 Pope Clement I of Rome.
December 11 Terentius, martyr; 12 Daniel Stylites, Confessor; 16 Modestus,
Patriarch of Jerusalem; 31 Pope Sylvester of Rome.
January 12 Theodore Stratelates; 24 Philo, Bishop of Carpasia.
February 20 Cendius, Bishop of Pisidia.
March 6 Basil, Bishop of Cherson, martyr.
April 5 Thermos, martyr.

Of the earlier Slavic calendars, Oh has by far the most matches with NWC,
totaling 15. Its six correspondences with 882 and five with ZT-PM all fall within the

143
 C. M. Vakareliyska

SeptemberFebruary half of the Church year, but this is to be expected, since Oh is a

short menology, with many lacunae in the MarchAugust half.
In summary, in addition to certain of its CT entries, some of the NWCs un-
common non-Constantinopolitan commemorations are found in both in early and in
13- and 14th-century Slavic calendars of various genres, even in cases where Archi-
mandrite Sergij has indicated that they are present in only a very few Greek calendars
in his collation. This fact suggests that at least one of the multiple sources from which
these Slavic calendars were compiled was a pre-CT Greek or Italo-Greek calendar
that reflected much the same tradition as the Greek commemorations in the NWC.
That the Slavic manuscripts do not necessarily share the same NWC commemora-
tions with each other means that in their individual prehistories, different commem-
orations from that archaic Greek source were selected for patchworking into a full-
year calendar that combined that tradition with others.

7. Conclusion
Of the Slavic calendars in my collation and in Archimandrite Sergijs, the later
related Bulgarian calendars 882 and ZT-PM demonstrate the closest relationship with
NWC. Their correspondences with the NWC include some of its Western commem-
orations, its archaic CT commemorations, and commemorations which the NWC
shares with only a very few Greek calendars in Archimandrite Sergijs collation.
Moreover, they both have the largest cluster of less common NWC commemorations
in November. The fact that 882 and ZT-PM are members of a Bulgarian family of cal-
endars that is characterized by other rare CT and Western commemorations, includ-
ing the Western saint Arnulph, suggests that the common Slavic or Greek ancestor of
882 and ZT-PM was compiled from a Greek or Italo-Greek source that reflected the
early Greek tradition found in the NWC, together with other calendar sources.That
882 and ZT-PM do not overlap much in the NWC entries they share in November
suggests that pruning of the NWC-tradition commemorations occurred independent-
ly in the later separate prehistories of 882 and ZT-PM.
The relationship between Oh and the NWC is more difficult to determine, be-
cause Oh purposely omits most dates in the second half of the Church year. At the
same time, however, the fact that Oh nevertheless shares 15 uncommon entries with
the NWC suggests that one of the Greek sources for Oh was a calendar based on the
tradition reflected in the NWC.
The relationship of the NWC to Oh and the related calendars 882 and ZT-PM
is a very old and tenuous one, based deep in the prehistory of the Slavic calendars.
The identification of rare NWC-tradition commemorations in these calendars is a
step toward identifying their multiple Greek and Slavic ancestors and the patchwork
patterns of their compilations.
