ABOUT:
The subject of this research is the artistic design of the manuscripts of North-Eastern Russia, created before the beginning of the 15th century. The author selected parchment books for research, that is, such manuscripts that were written not on paper, but on specially dressed leather. At the same time, the author gave preference to dated manuscripts, the place of origin of which is attested by scribes or modern scholars. The book consists of five thematic sections: `The oldest manuscripts of North-Eastern Russia`,` Tver manuscripts of the XIV - XV`, `Moscow manuscripts of the mid-XIV - early 15th centuries`,` Book writing and design of manuscripts in the provincial centers of North-Eastern Russia`, `Description of the manuscripts of North-Eastern Russia XII - early XV century`. The publication contains color and tone illustrations representing ancient editions and their design, with detailed annotations and comments. The evolution of the front miniature and ornamentation of manuscripts is shown. An extensive photo catalog with descriptions of 112 manuscripts is attached..

Предмет настоящего исследования - художественное оформление рукописей Северо-Восточной Руси, созданных до начала XV века. Автором выбраны для исследования пергаментные книги, то есть такие рукописи, которые написаны не на бумаге, а на специально выделанной коже. При этом автор отдавал предпочтение датированным рукописям, место происхождения которых засвидетельствовано писцами или современными учеными. Книга состоит из пяти тематических разделов: `Древнейшие рукописи Северо-Восточной Руси`, `Тверские рукописи XIV - XV`, `Московские рукописные книги середины XIV - начала XV века`, `Книгописание и оформление рукописей в провинциальных центрах Северо-Восточной Руси`, `Описание рукописей Северо-Восточной Руси XII - начала XV века`. В издании представлены цветные и тоновые иллюстрации, представляющие древние издания и их оформление, с подробными аннотациями и комментариями. Показана эволюция лицевой миниатюры и орнамента рукописей. Приложен обширный фотокаталог с описаниями 112-ти рукописей.
