The GPIB Fond of Rare Books holds a small collection of early Slavonic and Russian manuscript books, including original and translated liturgical works, lives of saints, tales and other secular texts, Old Believer and Masonic manuscripts, and various seventeenth- and eighteenth-century codices including compilations (sborniki). The fond also retains a few personal papers of the historian V.O. Kliuchevskii (including one of his notebooks and two lectures transcribed by his niece), and the papers of the lawyer, E.I. Baranovskii, who was active in the Russian government. Unpublished manuscript materials of the A.S. Uvarov and A.P. Bakhrushin Collections, including contemporary materials presented by authors together with memoirs and historical monographs, were transferred from Basic holdinds. There are several late eighteenth-century manuscript maps of Russia. Among rare books, there are a number of incunabula and other early Cyrillic imprints. There are also some autographed books, but most of the latter are shelved with the general collection of the fond. Reference facilities: There is a separate card catalogue for the manuscript books. Copy facilities: Xerox copying of rare and manuscript books is not permitted; in some cases, limited photographic copies can be arranged. |
