THE HISTORY OF THE BIBLE TRANSLATION INTO RUSSIAN. REPRINT EDITION OF 1889

The book of Professor Illarion Alekseevich Chistovich of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy (1828-1893), published in 1873 and then republished in 1899, has long been a bibliographic rarity. Despite the fact that more than a hundred years have passed since the book was written, this work is still the most complete, detailed and reasoned account of the history of the Bible translation into Russian.
