Church Slavonic manuscripts and a copy of a baroque poem from the Slavonic Library in Prague

The books digitized during 2024 from the Slavonic Library date from the 17th and 18th centuries. They originated from regions in present-day Dalmatia, Eastern Europe and Northern Russia. The oldest volume digitized in 2024 was a Cyrillic liturgical book for Lent (Tripesnec alternatively Triodion or Triod, 1608) and is of East European origin (shelf mark T 9774). The marginalia in this book reveal that it was originally located in Subcarpathia, specifically in the village of Velykyi Bereznyi (Ukraine). The following is a copy of the religious poem Mandaljena pokornica (The Penitent Magdalene, 1714) by Ivan Bunić-Vučić (1591–1658), a Croatian Baroque politician and poet (shelf mark T 4161). The 18th century is represented by a story about King Apollonius of Tyre (Povest’ ob Apollonii, korole Tirskom). This is from the A. D. Grigorev’s collection of North Russian manuscripts (shelf mark A 10).
