Abstract
The paper examines the morphological and syntactic parameters of the case system in the unstudied homilies On the Seraphim. The case paradigm is too conservative; the congruency has not changed, the indications for analyticity are manifested in the wider compatibility of some prepositions; the possessive use of the dative has been consistently applied, competing with the traditional possessive function of the genitive; there are no structures with the fully grammaticalised preposition “of”, which were typical for the 14th century; no middle-Bulgarian tendency towards occurrences of the casus generalis is observed; the prepositions “of” and “between” are distributed within the genitive.
Key words: pre-Euthymian translation, case congruency, verb reaction, analyticity, translation preferences
