Abstract
The article studies an unsuccessful attempt to trade printed products of Ukrainian and Belorussian printing-houses in the capital of the Tsardom of Moscowy, initiated by Archimandrite Innokenty Gizel of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, between December 1672 and March 1673. Thanks to documents preserved in the Book of Records (Kniga zapisnaja) of the Malorossijskij prikaz for October 1672—April 1673 (RGADA), it was possible not only to reconstruct the events of this episode in the relationship of the elder brethren of the main monastery of Ukraine with the secular and ecclesiastic authorities of the Russian state, but also to attribute a significant part of the books delivered by the Lavra “merchants” at that time. The practical result of the work was the discovery in the Library of the Moscow Synodal Printing-House of 176 copies of books that have survived to date (out of 377 brought in 1672), among which there were two editions so far known to bibliographers only by mention in an archival written source of the 17th century.
