Harvard College Library has recently acquired a collection of 6 rare Old Believer books. The value of this acquisition is determined not only by its great physical condition but also by the fact that it illustrates different chronological periods and publishing methods pertaining to the history of Old Believer literature.<\/p>\n

The set includes one item published in 1651 (i. e. prior to the Patriarch Nikon\u2019s church reform that led to the break between the official Russian Orthodox Church and the Old Believers, who remained faithful to the pre-Nikonean rite.). This book (Kanonnik”<\/em>) serves as an example of a title that while not created by the Old Believers, was nevertheless considered by them as part of their religious and literary heritage.<\/p>\n

Another gem of the collection is the 19th<\/sup> century handwritten Skazan\u012be o vol\u02b9nom stradan\u012bi gospoda nashego Iisusa Khrista <\/em>(a retelling of the passion of Christ based on the later chapters of the New Testament). The book is written in in black and red ink and decorated with ornamental headpieces.<\/p>\n

Another 19th<\/sup> century item is a later copy of Trefologion, tret\u02b9i\u0361a chetvert\u02b9 (mart–ma\u012d)<\/em> [Trefologion for March-May], mentioned by A.S. Zernova in her Knigi kirillovskoi pechati, izdannye v Moskve v XVI-XVII vekakh<\/em>, under number 139.<\/p>\n

The collection also includes 3 books in popular Old Believer genres of Torzhestvennik, Kanonnik <\/em>and Sbornik<\/em>, published in 1911-1916 by the Old Believer Preobrazhenskii monastery in Moscow.<\/p>\n

The complete collection has been digitized within the framework of the Harvard College Library preservation digitization program<\/a>.\u00a0In an effort to provide the most complete visual information on these items we created scans of complete books, including the covers, spines and lining papers, as well as any owner\u2019s ephemera found inside.<\/p>\n

I would like to thank Michael E. Biggins (University of Washington) and Olga Strakhov (Harvard University) for their assistance with research for this project.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
