Antique Rare early Russian Manuscript Bound In Leather with the remains of silver lock on side. I have had several people look at this manuscript and there was some discussion about the age, they believed for several reasons, the type of Russian language, the use of words that disappeared in the later languages use, the manuscript predated the 17th century. The manuscript was written in old Russian, it was not printed. If you study certain characters the characteristics appear differen...tly this clearly showing it was not printed. It was written in a very neat hand probably by a church historian. This may be a discussion of the church calendar or an explanation of the calendar. It appears to have taken some time to hand pen, and that is congruent with the age. From certain words used it is now known to be quite old. It is beautiful. From the binding, it does not appear to have pages added nor taken away. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail and insurance.
