In the article, the quantitative analysis revealed lexical and semantic dominants and markers that distinguish the medieval anthology texts from each other. To verify whether three anonymous homilies in the thirteenth-century Tolstovskiĭ Sbornik might be attributed to Cyril of Turov, the authors examined the statistical distance between anonymous and already attributed texts. Using the clustering method based on the ranks of the most frequent tokens and the corresponding ranks of other texts, they constructed dendrograms that showed the text grouping. This technique allowed demonstrating the statistical proximity of six Cyril of Turov's texts, their contrast to seven Cyril of Jerusalem's texts, and the formation of the third cluster from texts of other authors. Cluster analysis made it possible to identify in Cyril of Turov's homilies several crucial thematic keys, as well as to establish such a feature of his preaching discourse as the widespread use of role deixis. The analysis confirmed the sharp difference between the anonymous Parable of Wisdom and Cyril of Turov's homilies. Separate convergences of two anonymous sermons with Cyril of Turov's homilies were discovered. However, the level of convergence in this case, as analysis has shown, contrasts sharply with the level of convergence among Cyril of Turov's homilies. It suggests that the causes of individual convergences are not associated with one person's authorship

Hankenstein Code (Vienna Octoix) is the collection of liturgical texts dating by the XII-XIII centuries or by the beginning of the XIIIth century. Since 1804, the general descriptions of the collection appear in the works by I.A. Ganke von Gankenstein, J. Dobrovsky, S. Smal-Stotsky, A. Sobolevsky, Yu. Shevelev, G. Birkfellner. Nowadays, there is no satisfactory analysis of the Code text at all levels, including graphic one. In order to study the spelling and the paleographic features of the manuscript, the main text, the inscriptions and the drawings on the fields, ornaments, the material for writing, the present state of the manuscript and its parts were described. We found that the text was written by two scribes, characterized the manner of writing each of them, determined the differences in the graphics and spelling (different use of the letters я, 1, 8 and o). A large number of external letters was noted and 7 basic traits of the title were described, 3 types of superscripts and 6 types of inline signs were fixed, their graphic and functional features were described. For the first time corrections and the entries were described on the margins of the manuscript. The examples found in the text of the letters э, е and и, в and оу proved the hypothesis of the southwestern origin of the monument.
