Two Orthodox theological works, bound together: ТОЛКОВАНИЕ БЛАЖЕНСТВ (Explanations of the Gospel Beautitudes) Короткий выбор песен, оставшихся в памяти (Short selection of songs that remained in memory)In Russian recension of Church Slavonic language.***
St. Petersburg, Alexander Nevsky Lavra, ca. 1722.

There is some indication that the work might have been written by Archbishop Theophan Prokopovich. However, there is no direct indication that the work was printed separately from the Beautitudes, and the addition of 24 leaves of Short selection of songs, suggest that this book was… Read More
