BETWEEN A SONGBOOK AND A COLLECTION OF SPIRITUAL POEMS: ABOUT TWO HANDWRITTEN NOTEBOOKS FROM THE KOMI-PERMYAK DISTRICT

Abstract

The article describes two handwritten collections belonging to ritual specialists from the Russian d. The fire of the Yurlinsky district and the Komi-Permyak village of Kukushka in the Kochevsky district of the Perm Territory. One of the collections is a rather peculiar case for the Yurlin-Nomadic manuscript tradition: it includes not only spiritual poems, but also song forms - ditties, wedding and calendar songs. The second collection consists of a collection of spiritual poems and a songbook. A possible reason for the appearance of such “combined” assemblies is the ensemble-stage and ritualceremonial activities of their owners. The paper describes the features of the functioning of these handwritten notebooks, presents the corpus of spiritual poems found in them in the form of an incipit list, and provides parallels from other handwritten collections existing on the Yurlinsky-Nomadic borderland.
