Description

Printed in the 19th century.

Printed in a single color, decorated with initials, headpieces, tailpieces, and cast ornaments. Letter foliation appears in the upper right corner, with catchwords at the bottom right. Marginalia appear on the left-hand page of the second folio, in the form of a handwritten text: "It is truly meet to bless thee, more honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare..."

The cover is lost.

The book was donated to the museum by Oleksii Ivanovych Shyshkin of Kharkiv in 1984.

Note: the Liturgicon (Sluzhebnyk) is a liturgical book containing the order of all the daily services except the Liturgy.
