Description: The catalogue features 200 exhibits, among which are manuscripts and blockprints from the holdings of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts as well as artefacts related to the production and use of books from the State Hermigate Museum. This relationship is interpreted as broadly as possible, embracing not only objects that are directly associated with the making and reading of books (brushes, qalams, pencases, inkwells, woodblocks), but also religious items used alongside books (icons, crosses, ornaments), visual parallels in decoration (clothes, mural fragments), objects connected with their buyers and owners (coins) and finally pieces reproducing the cultural environment of the epoch.
Notes: Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Gosudarstvennyĭ Ėrmitazh, 27 November 2018 through 24 February 2019.

The two sets of pages are bound separately: numbered pages are bound on the left, the unnumbered plates are bound at the upper edge and attached to the back cover.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 344-357).
