[LITURGY. OLD BELIEVERS]. Posledovanie tserkovnogo penie i vseletnego sobraniia [Ritual of Church Hymns for the whole Year]. [First half of the 19th century].
No VAT on hammer price or buyer's premium. A group of four attractively-decorated Old Believers prayer books. The Old Believers followed the former traditions of the Russian Orthodox Church, which had been corrected by the Patriarch Nikon during the reign of Peter the Great, for which they were persecuted. They withdrew into the remoter regions and developed their own society. The manuscript tradition is fundamental to Old Believers; this ascetic strand of Russian orthodoxy rejected modernity, including the printed dissemination of spiritual texts. The manuscripts offered in the following four lots are produced in quasi-miniature format, a reflection of the personal, intimate use of such prayer books but also, perhaps, of the recrudescence in persecution which the Old Believers suffered under the reign of Nicholas I, around the time when these manuscripts were produced.
