KOVAL-FUCHYLO IRYNA 2023

KOVAL-FUCHYLO IRYNA – a Ph.D. in Philology, a senior research fellow at the Ukrainian and Foreign Folkloristics Department of M. Rylskyi Institute of Art Studies, Folkloristics and Ethnology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Kyiv, Ukraine).

The structure and principles of the organization of the library fund of the National Library of Finland (NLF) are described in the article. Ukrainian materials are stored in the Slavic Library of the NLF. The catalogue of rare books and the catalogue of manuscript materials are especially important for Ukrainian Studies. The list of books (old editions in Church Slavonic and Polish) published on the territory of modern Ukraine is given.

An important document discovered in the manuscript department of the Slavic Library of the NLF is analysed. This is a handwritten book, which is recorded under the title Ukrainian Folklore («Украинский фольклор») in the catalogue “Slavic Manuscripts and Private Archives of the National Library of Finland”. This book contains 517 pages, written on both sides of each sheet. I haven’t found any information about the owner of the book, the recorder or the history of the document appearance on the pages of the manuscript. My search for this information has yielded few results.

A detailed textual analyse of recorded texts and a search for variants have led to the conclusion that the discovered manuscript is a handwritten copy of the records of Zorian Dolenha-Khodakovskyi. The purpose and task of the article is to analyze the folklore texts of the manuscript, to reveal the peculiarities of this document. The first 50 pages of the manuscript have testified that 93 of the 102 texts are published in the collection Ukrainian Folk Songs in the Records of Zorian Dolenha-Khodakovskyi (from Halychyna, Volhynia, Podillia, Dnipro Region and Polissia), compiled, textologically interpreted and commented by O. Dei, attribution of autographs and copies and foreword by L. Malash, O. Dei (Kyiv, 1974). The relevance of the work consists in the fact that the discovered manuscript will complete the list of known copies of Zorian Dolenha-Khodakovskyi, and will also add to the number of versions of some Ukrainian folk songs.

The research work carried out gives reasons to turn to the research staff of the National Library of Finland with a request to attribute the found manuscript as a copy of the records of Zorian Dolenha-Khodakovskyi.

Keywords: National Library of Finland, Ukrainian old prints, Zorian Dolenha-Khodakovskyi, handwritten copy, Ukrainian folk songs.
