This year’s (2023) digitized books from the Slavonic Library come from the 17th to 19th centuries from regions in present-day Dalmatia (Croatia) and Russia. The oldest book is a printed poetic transcription of the King David’s Psalter from 1678 with 3 prefaces by Symeon of Polotsk, a scholar and clergyman (shelf mark T 8086). From the end of the 18th century comes a manuscript collection of poems and translations of old Croatian authors from the Milan Rešetar collection (shelf mark T 4121). The 19th century is represented with (1) a manuscript description of a monastery in the former town of Voskresensk (current Istra) in the Moscow Region (shelf mark T 4328); and (2) a copy of the life of Peter I by Petr Krekshin from the Alexander Grigorev collection of North Russian manuscripts (shelf mark A 14).
