Author: G.V. Karpyuka (ed.)
Title: Ivan Fedorov. Azbuka 1574-1974
Description: Festive facsimile of the famous first edition (100x157 mm) of Fedorov’s Azbuka; a primer to learn reading. Of this 1574 edition only one surviving copy is known, in the library of Harvard University. As Fedorov had been chased from Moscow and had found refuge in Lviv, where this book has been printed, present-day Ukrainians might feel uncomfortable with the ostentatious claim in preface and commentary, that the edition is precious to Russians, a monument of Russian culture, and so forth (code W-57)
