Moscow: Art-Rodnik, 2013. sewn cl. The publication of a collection catalogue adds source material to any subject; when the collection is inaccessible to scholars in the West the catalogue becomes their only source. In this book 121 examples of rare books and manuscripts are catalogued, each of which is described in detail and accompanied with nicely reproduced plates. Liturgical and biblical texts, folk tales, calendars, and atlases are among the kinds of material published. The author sketches the technology used for this form of book and print, tying it in with the history of engraving and book production in Europe. She points out the most important works in the collection of the Yaroslav Museum-Preserve. Four indexes. 438 p., 25 cm, approx. 300 color illus., Rus. Item #704
