The Cyrillic Apostol-gospel Sunday lectionary from the Printing House of the Luck (1640)
Jerzy Ostapczuk
Abstract
In the history of the Cyrillic printing there are known only four early printed lectionaries. Three of them are apostle-gospel Sunday lectionaries. For the first time this kind of book was printed in Uherce in the year 1620 by Pawel Domżiw Lutkowicz Telica. His printing house in 1635 was donated to the Orthodox Brotherhood in Luck. There in the year 1640 apostle-gospel Sunday lectionary was printed for the second time.
The article contains bibliological description of the apostle-gospel Sunday lectionary from the Printing House of the Luck’s Brotherhood from the year 1640. The results of the typographical, textological and liturgical analyses of all three Sunday lectionaries show that this aprakos from Luck is an original work. It is not a copy of lectionary from Uherce, with which it has in common only its typological classification.
