Abstract: Volume 1: "An Early Slavonic Psalter consists of a photo-reproduction of the surviving parts of a manuscript written in Rus' ca. 1100 AD.

Any manuscript of this age is valuable for the information it provides about the language and culture of early Rus', but the significance of this combined codex is enhanced by the fact that it is the oldest representative of a special revision of the Psalter text which became standard only in Rus' and not elsewhere in the world of the Orthodox Slavs. This volume also includes photo-reproductions of portions of a mid-twelfth century Psalter from Rus'
