Subject: [EXTERNAL] History or Lent dietary requirements

Hello, is there any way to send a question to the ASEC mailing list? If yes, I would be grateful for the following question to be posted.

Does anyone know if the dietary requirements for the Orthodox Lent (velikii post) were the same in the twelfth century as they are now?

What I want to know more specifically is the broader religious context for the account of the 1111 anti-Cuman expedigion in the Hypatian Chronicle. The inhabitants of the gorod Sharukan, which presumably was under the Cuman political control, submitted to the Rus princes, whose troops approached Sharukan with Vladimir Monomakh's priests in front of them singing troparia and kontakia. The Sharukan delegation gave the Rus princes the gifts of wine and fish (PSRL 2, 266).

Taken together with the information about the priests and the fact that this was during the sixth week of the Lent, this is interpreted by steppe scholars as an indication that Sharukan had a Christian  population, who greeted Rus as their fellow Christians.

Now, the current Lent rule is that fish and wine are allowed on Sunday of the sixth week (Verbnoe voskresenie). However, the Sharukan people gave wine and fish to the Rus troops on Tuesday of that week. Is it possible that fish and wine were allowed during all the sixth week, or during all the Lent at that time?

Would be grateful for any information about the Lent rules, and about Christian communities in the steppe under the Cuman overlordship.

Yulia.
