Abstract
The author analyzes inscriptions by scribes, editors, and readers in the pages of four Old Rus manuscripts of the 11th–13th centuries in which mistakes (by themselves or by other scribes) are commented (RGADA. Tip. 91; RNB, Q.п.I.16; RNB, Q.п.I.15; RNB, Pogod. 71а). The extra-texts analyzed demonstrate that the copying and the usage of books not always were mechanic processes. On the contrary, inscriptions demonstrate linguistic and aesthetic reflection and significantly contribute to our knowledge of the history of the language.
