<x-flowed>Over the last few months I have shared a few Old Church Slavonic
translations of Septuagint texts under discussion on the list. Maurice was
kind enough to point out an Old Church Slavonic Tutorial site on the web,
which I am sharing with the list with his permission.

This site is very basic and aimed at allowing people to read liturgical
prayers at this point. b-greekers may be interested to see how the Greek
missionaries expanded the alphabet to accomadate Slav words. The site
requires plug-ins to use the tutorial, but you can go there without the
plug-in and down load the adobe PDF file of the alphabet reference card.

A nice large type web page of the Old Church Slavonic Cyrillic Alphabet is
at:
http://kodeks.uni-bamberg.de/AKSL/Schrift/AkslAlphabet.htm
Or this site displays the Lords Prayer in modern Russian with Old Church
Slavonic below

Neither Jellicoe in his book "The Septuagint in Modern Study" nor Metzger in
his works about the New Testament, consider the Old Church Slavonic
translation to be a major indicator for original text. But in trying to
learn and translate from the original biblical texts I usually consult more
than one English translation. This helps me see the different ways the text
can be viewed.
Likewise, I am now consulting the Old Church Slavonic translation to see how
a much earlier group of translators consider the original text. Not a
conclusive exercise, but illuminating none the less.
Other sites of interest on Old Church Slavonic are:
