Catalogue of the Byzantine enamels of the X-XI centuries which were bought by J.P. Morgon after the death of A.V. Zvenigorodskoi, and now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Of the 600 copies printed, 200 were in French, German and Russian, which were given, not sold, to friends and institutions. The history of the production of the book by V.V. Stasov records the recipients and their comments, and the prize it was awarded at the Frankfurt World Fair. See A.E. Burtsev, Detailed bibliographical Description of rare and remarkable Books, (St. Petersburg, 1901), no.174
