rif. O49First Edition. Octavo. 147 pp. Period presentation inscription on the first free endpaper “Zum <> von Parthenie Tomaszczuk im Chernowitz 1863”. Period owner’s inscription on the title page “Dr. Kratsky” . Original yellow publisher’s printed papered boards with printed ornamental frames. Beautiful near fine copy. Very rare provincial edition Worldcat finds only two other issues of the same directory: a copy for 1860 Berlin State Library and for 1865 National Library of France. Comprehensive directory of all ecclesiastics of the Orthodox Christian Diocese of Bukovina located in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and subdued to the Serbian Orthodox patriarch. Bukovina embraced Eastern Orthodox Christianity at the end of the first millennium A.D. And was traditionally close to the Moldovan Orthodox Church. But when the Austro-Hungarian Empire annexed Bukovina after the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774 the new Bukovina diocese was formed with its centre at Chernivtsi 1781. Initially it was independent but in 1783 it went under jurisdiction of the Karlovy Vary metropolitan since 1848 – the Patriarch of Serbia who was the leader of all Orthodox Christians in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The directory contains a list of all heads of the Bukovina diocese since its foundation starting with metropolitan Dosithei Chereskul; a special page is dedicated to the current head of the diocese – metropolitan Eugen Hackmann 1793-1873 who would become the first Orthodox archbishop of Bukovina and Dalmatia shortly before his death in 1873. Then follows a list of the members of the Bukovina Consistory with Parthenie Tomaszczuk who made the inscription on the front endpaper of the book named as the secretary “Actuar” p. 9; and members of the “Armen-Instituts-Commission zu Chernowitz”. The directory lists all clergy of the three renowned monasteries of Bukovina – in Putna Suszewitza Sucevița and Dragomirna; and of all parishes of the region altogether over 280 parishes with 229 clergy members. The last part of the book is dedicated to the Orthodox educational institutions including Bukovina seminary gymnasium in Suczawa Suceava network of schools under the supervision of Bukovina Consistory over 90 et al. Each part is concluded with overview tables giving a great view of statistics in each category. The directory is supplemented with alphabetical indexes of names and places. The Bukovina diocese had to go under the jurisdiction of the Romanian Orthodox Church after the disintegration of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire in 1918. In 1944-45 it joined the Russian Orthodox Church. Since 1990 the diocese belongs to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in 2012 it was renamed to Chernovitsko-Bukovinskaya Diocese. The southern part of old Bukovina diocese with all three monasteries is now a part of Romania. hardcover

1860rif. 1753Sergiyev Posad. c.1860-1900. A set of 40 hand-carved and painted wooden buildings forming a toy model of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius the tallest piece measuring 26cm in height with the original block-printed guide sheet showing how the pieces should be laid out also showing walkways 63.5 x 48.5cm. The set is apparently lacking four wall sections and several smaller pieces however the numbering system is somewhat hard to discern with the ink numbers on the bases of the pieces often obscured and the numbering on the guide sheet being slightly erratic/mismatched to the pieces so it is difficult to be certain. It is however also possible to arrange the set in a slightly more compact manner in order to complete the walls as the example sold at Christies mentioned below was presented which also appeared to lack a couple of wall sections and other pieces and where the pieces were fixed in place to a board with the guide sheet lacking. There are some small losses and repairs to several of the pieces but broadly the set is in good condition; the guide sheet is very fragile and has several holes two affecting the printed plan and some splitting along the folds but remains a remarkable survival. A very charming vibrantly hand-painted late nineteenth-century toy model of the Trinity Monastery of St. Sergii the most important monastery in Russia and the spiritual centre of the Russian Orthodox Church. The monastery was founded in 1337 by Sergius of Radonezh later one of the most venerated Russian saints and a spiritual patron of the nation. Its first stone cathedral was built in 1422 by a group of refugee Serbian monks which decorated with frescoes painted by the greatest icon painters of medieval Russia Andrei Rublev and Daniil Chyorny came to serve as the place of baptism for Muscovite royals. In 1476 Ivan III commissioned the church of the Holy Spirit now one of the few remaining examples of a Russian church topped with a belltower and in 1559 Ivan the Terrible ordered the construction of the six-pillared Assumption Cathedral ultimately completed after twenty-six years. During the sixteenth century the monastery grew into one of the wealthiest landowners in Russia. It was also a notable centre of chronicle-writing and icon painting and housed an eminent library of manuscripts and books. Its stone walls were constructed in the 1550s helping it to withstand the famous sixteen-month Polish-Lithuanian siege of 1608-1610. Throughout the seventeenth century during which Peter the Great twice took refuge in the monastery numerous buildings were added including the Church of John the Baptist's Nativity commissioned by the Stroganovs. In 1744 Empress Elizabeth conferred on the cloister the dignity of a Lavra and also oversaw the construction of a further church as well as the belltower the tallest building in the present set. The monastery is situated in the town of Sergiyev Posad which itself grew alongside the monastery just over 40 miles northeast of Moscow. From the eighteenth century Sergiyev Posad developed into a centre of toy-making and by the following century the town was home to hundreds of independent artisans and workshops making all manner of wooden toys including the famous nesting dolls. Toy models of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius such as the present example were produced by local craftspeople from around the 1860s with the Sergiyev Posad Toy Museum holding another similar model in its collections. A near-identical model from the collection of Alexandra Tolstoy was also sold at Christies in 2020 25th November lot 90. [Sergiyev Posad]. unknown
