To be more precisely Rosetti explains as follow:

English : Old Church Slavonic; Old Bulgarian
French : Vieux Slave
German : Altkirchenslavisch
Russian : drevne-cerkovno-slavjanskij jazyk, today "staroslavjanskij
jazyk"
Romanian : Paleoslavã, Vechea Slavã, Veches Slavã Bisericeascã

All these denominations means a written Language which was a Bulgarian
dialect spoken in the region of Thessaloniky.

Slavonic is an another language , later as the XI century.
