Skaryna studies
A Library shows a particular interest in printed works of Francis Skaryna, as well as all works about him. Until recently of the original Skaryna editions the Library had only a small fragment (ff. 19-22) of the First Book of Kings, printed in Prague in 1518. In 1997, thanks to the help of Mr S. Shupa, the Library made a sensational acquisition of five books of Skaryna’s Biblia ruska, bound in one volume, namely Book of Job (Prague 1517), Ecclesiastes (1518) Wisdom (1518), Ecclesiasticus (1517) and Proverbs (1517). A year later, also thanks to Mr Shupa, a purchase was made of Bibli Czeska (Venice 1506) which served Skaryna as one of his sources in his translating work. The Library has also the three volumes of the reprint of the Biblia (Minsk 1990-91). It possesses a copy of Introductio in Chaldaicam linguam, Syriacam atque Armenicam et decem alias linguas by Theseus Ambrosius Albonesi (Pavia 1539), containing the text of one page, transliterated into Latin characters, from Skaryna’s Second Book of Kings (1518). E. Henderson in his Biblical Researches and Travels in Russia (London 1826) was the first to attempt a linguistic analysis of Skaryna’s texts. Major studies of the life and work of Skaryna are: Doktor Frantsisk Skorina. Ego perevody, pechatnyia izdaniia i iazyk by P. Vladimirov (StP. 1888); Chatyrokhsotletstsie bielaruskaha druku, chief ed. U. Picheta (Minsk 1926); 450 hod bielaruskaha knihadrukavannia (Minsk 1968); Scoriniana 1517-1967, ed. S. Stankievich (“Zapisy”, Kn.5, Munich 1970); Frantsisk Skorina. Zhizn’ i deiatel’nost’ belorusskogo prosvetitelia by E. Nemirovskii (Minsk 1990); and Frantsysk Skaryna – bielaruski i uskhodnieslavianski piershadrukar by H. Halenchanka (Minsk 1993). Hraviury Frantsyska Skaryny by L. Barazna (Minsk, 1st ed. 1972; 2nd ed. 1990) and Iskusstvo knigi Frantsiska Skoriny by V. Shmatov (Moscow 1990) deal with Skaryna’s engravings and book art. The most recent reference tools on Skaryna are Piats stahodzdziau Skaryniiany by V. Tumash (New York 1989) and Frantsysk Skaryna. Entsyklapiedychny daviednik(Minsk 1988).
