An Early Slavonic Psalter From Rus': Volume 1

Volume 1: "An Early Slavonic Psalter consists of a photoreproduction of the surviving parts of a manuscript written in Rus' ca. 1100 AD. The main portion is in the library of the Monastery of St. Catherine at the foot of Mount Sinai, and a fragment is in the Leningrad Public Library. Any manuscript of this age is valuable for the information it provides about the language and culture of early Rus', but the significance of this combined codex is enhanced by the fact that it is the oldest representative of a special revision of the Psalter text which became standard only in Rus' and not elsewhere in the world of the Orthodox Slavs. This volume also includes photoreproductions of portions of a mid-twelfth century Psalter from Rus'"--
