Marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. Early Serbian manuscript in a fine binding: the first Serbian translation of this influential catechism, produced, copied, and bound at the Serbian Orthodox Monastery of Grábóc, Hungary. All Serbian manuscripts dated before the 19th century are rare on the market. - This manuscript was copied by Hieromonakh Vasilii on 21 March 1744, with the help of Hierodeacon Daniil, at the monastery of Archangels Michael and Gabriel, in the diocese of Buda. Finely bound after the 17th-century French style, it was produced just a few years after the reconstruction of the church, at the start of a new prosperous period for the monastery, originally established in 1585 by Dalmatian monks. - The text was copied, without the section on the Primer, from a printed edition of Feofan Prokopovich's influential catechism, first published in Russian in St Petersburg in 1720. Prokopovich, Archbishop of Novgorod, played a major role in implementing the reforms of Peter the Great in the Russian Orthodox Church. - "Feofan not only preached his Protestant-inspired doctrine in public, he also sought to establish new formulations as canonically binding expressions of official Orthodoxy in Russia [.] The Primer was doctrinally and structurally very different from the (Tridentine-influenced) Orthodox confession of Peter Mohyla, the gold standard of Orthodox doctrine at the time. Prokopovich clearly intended his work to be an alternative to Mohyla's catechism [.] In content and structure, the primer drew upon the existing Lutheran pedagogical instructional manuals of the time" (Ivanov, p. 66). - Extremities rubbed, small loss along joints at foot of spine, hinges weakening. Outer blank corner of last blank torn away.
