André Siniavski, The apotheosis of the book.
Ancient Russia venerated books because they were rare and their image was always connected to the Sacred Book, the Bible. Since the Book of depth (Golubinaia kniga) which is a heavenly message in poetical form and till the touching story of Druzhina Osorgin (seventeenth century) on his mother, Saint Ul'ianiia, the ancient Russian book aims at being precise and well-documented. It excludes individual imagination because it constitutes a piece of evidence. The author, as well as the scribe, said prayers at the beginning and the end of the work. Each word and even each letter had a sacred character. The written text was a temple and as such it summarized the universe. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
