https://doi.org/10.20913/script-2024-1-09
Abstract
The article examines the issue of the family libraries of the Pechora Old Believer peasants and analyzes the materials of the database of the Pechora scribes from the Pozdeev family. They bring us the names of the owners of book collections, manuscript copyists, the last owners of handwritten and early printed books, who passed on to the archeographers the remains of the collections of their older relatives – scribes of the late 19th – early 20th centuries. These include, in particular, the Pozdeevs Efim Timofeevich, Ivan Larionovich and Yakov Ivanovich, who were engaged in the copying of manuscripts, the owners of book collections Alexey Alexeevich, Andrey Isaakovich, Mikhail Semenovich, Agrafena Petrovna Pozdeev. The article provides descriptions of those handwritten and early printed books that were read or copied by the Pechora peasants. The materials of the reports on the archaeological expeditions of the Pushkin House recreate the atmosphere in which the meetings of Leningrad archaeographers with the last owners of the remains of the family libraries took place. Our information about the bookmen from the Pozdeev family is supplemented by records on handwritten and early printed books about their belonging to representatives of this family, as well as reporting some everyday details of their peasant life.
