EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of a manuscript of The Book of One Hundred Chapters (Stoglav), dating back to 1551. Created by an anonymous historical document artist, this exquisite piece can be found in the esteemed collection of the State Open-air Museum of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius in Sergyev Possad, Russia. The image transports us to a time when books were revered as precious treasures and craftsmanship was paramount. This traditional Russian manuscript is steeped in folklore and Orthodox Church history, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage that shaped Russia's past. The intricate details depicted on this title page are truly awe-inspiring. From its fine art images to its delicate watercolor strokes on parchment, every element speaks volumes about the old Russian artistry prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to Moscow Principality's grandeur under Tsar Ivan IV, also known as Ivan the Terrible. Notably featured on this page is Saint Macarius, Metropolitan Macarius himself—a prominent figure in Old Church Slavonic literature and religious teachings. The inclusion of his image further emphasizes the significance and influence he had within Moscow School and Church Slavonic traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact from history, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its invaluable contribution to our understanding of Russian culture and heritage.
