Abstract:
In this study are published for the first time a deciphered text, a translation in Modern Bulgarian and comments of an ancient oracle, included in a handwritten collection from the forties of the fifteenth century. An oracle is a rare combination of two of the most spread types of divination during the Middle Ages – biblioman-cy and divination by use of dice. The text is analyzed in different aspects, mostly in order to be defined the linguistic peculiarities of the translation. For comparison, in the publication is included also one contemporary dice oracle in Bulgarian, which exists in Internet.
