Specifically the problems of the transmission of the poetic devices in the process of the translation of Byzantine hymnography to Church Slavonic were discussed. The investigation was performed on the material of the translation of 15 Antifons from the Service of the Great and Holy Friday. The text was studied diachronically by the comparative analyses of the variants from different text versions from 15 North Slavonic and East Slavonic manuscripts (Triodion, Pentecostarion, Sticherarium) dating from the 11th up to the 14th century. This approach helps to verify the attitude of the Medieval Slavic scholars towards the certain phenomena, as well as to provide the more complex picture. Comparing the rates of the transmission of different poetic devices one can easily see that the devices usually transmitted include paregnemon (secondary sound repetition), lexical repetitions and syntactic parallelism. The results of the comparative analyses also helped to reveal two text versions which pay specific attention to the poetic devices: the first Slavonic translation as well as the Athonite reduction, which used different approach to the Greek text poetical structure. The results obtained would definitely help us to understand the main characteristics of the Ecclesiastic Slavonic poetics of the primary period (11th–14th century) from the point of view of the contemporary with it scholars.
