Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article examines a sample of marginalia from three unique books from the Slavonic Library, Prague. The books explored are Ivan Fedorov’s Apostle (1574), the Ostrih Bible (1581), and Petro Mohyla’s Euchologion (1646). The texts on the margins of these early printed books date from 1575 to 1808 and indicate changes in ownership and various readers’ comments on the content of the texts. This is one of the first studies of marginalia in early printed Slavic books. The results indicate that the deciphering of margin texts can provide valuable information about the provenance of old books and their use by readers.
