The Compilation of the Lives of the Saints in Russian Translation from the Book and Manuscript Collection of the Laboratory of Archaeographical Studies at the UrFU (A Draft Report)
This article considers nine handwritten books from the collection of the Laboratory of Archaeographical Studies in Ural Federal University, containing the lives of the saints translated into Russian and set out according to the Menaion of St. Dimitry of Rostov. It has been established that these books, which can be dated to the 1840s-1850s, contain a previously unknown Russian translation of the saints’ lives. The author has suggested that it was His Grace Neophyte (Sosnin; 1794-1868), Archbishop of Perm and Verkhoturye (1851-1868), who translated and compiled the collections.
