Here you can see the first books of Kievan Rus, the tools of ancient book makers and old book-printing machines.
Among the priceless books in the Museum of Books and Printing is a source of ancient spiritual inspiration entitled Pateryk Pechersky. Printed in 1661 at the Lavra Monastery, the book was considered ‘a golden book’ for literate Ukrainians and disseminated the ideas of Christian ethics, humility, and moral education. The word, Pateryk, is loosely translated as “Stories of Church Fathers.”
