metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The paper analyzes inventories of the late 15th–17th centuries from four major Russian monasteries:
  St Cyril’s of Belozersk, The Solovetsky monastery, Joseph-Volokolamsk monastery, and
  The Holy Trinity — St Sergius monastery. These inventories list the monasteries’ property for
  its safekeeping. The inventories of monastic libraries contain valuable information about the
  system of book keeping and the development of bibliography in Old Rus’. They also provide
  some clues for attribution of books, which can help in reconstructing the concepts of bookmaking
  technologies in Early Modern period. These technological notes in descriptions of
  books are organized according to the system created by the inventories compilers: the format, the binding, the artistic values, the type and technique of writing, the page’s composition, the
  writing material, the state of preservation. The paper shows that the major goal in creating
  these inventories was to single out the most important elements allowing to recognize the
  book. Yet the description of these elements was not uniform. The attention was mainly directed
  to external attribution of a book. From the second half of the 16th century the cursive
  writing and the so-called metnoe pismo (a sort of scrittura usuale) were already recognized
  as different from standard book writing and had to be distinguished and indicated in book
  inventories. The inventories reflected those characteristics of books that were important for
  the librarians and therefore shaped certain semantic structures in professional mentality of
  Old Russian bookmen. For modern scholars they can serve as markers that follow the process
  of the development of book technologies in Early Modern period.
