Description: Please feel free to request a detailed description. Short description: In Russian. 726 p. Bibliya/ Bible, Moscow, 1914. This publication belongs to the book monuments of national importance. In 1913, a large-scale project to republish the Ostrog Bible began to be implemented at the Moscow Old Believer Printing House. The Bible (Ostroh, 1581), published by Ivan Fedorov in the printing house of Prince Konstantin Konstantinovich Ostrozhsky, became the first printed edition of the books of the Old and New Testaments in the Church Slavonic language. It is still used by the Old Believers, who did not recognize the new translation of the Bible, as well as other corrections of liturgical books in the 17th century. The book reproduces the fonts of the Ostrog Bible of 1581: the title page, headpieces and initials. Compared to Ivan Fedorov s edition, the 1914 Bible is adorned with 150 illustrations. Woodcut engravings are placed in the text and included in the general numbering, lithographs - on separate sheets, including one color chromolithograph. Reprint copies of the 1914 Ostrog Bible are rarer than the original itself. About 20 copies are known. The Ostrog Bible is the canonical Bible of the Russian Church. SKUMS000039
