摘要
This is the first publication of a tale about a journey to the other world from two seventeenth-century manuscripts kept in St. Petersburg. In the 1580s, the soul of a poor miner Nicholas from the Macedonian village of Izvor wasmistakenly and prematurely snatched from his body by an angel who accompanied him through the heavens. After Nicholas' return to life, he described his adventures, which, although reminiscent of the famous Byzantine visions of the afterlife, still diverge from them in some important details. The tale not only helps to recreate the social life of the mining area of Siderokausia, but also portrays the infighting among the local Orthodox Christian clergy.
