Catalog of Church Slavonic Primers - Церковнославянские азбуки и буквари

Note: In general, the terms "Азбука" and "Букварь" are interchangeable, but the use of "Азбука" typically was used for titles of northern and eastern Russian (Muscovite, etc.) editions, while the term "Букварь" was typically used for southern and western Russian (Belorussian and Ukrainian) editions. The terms, however, were not always used strictly according to this concept.

In listing all the known editions of the Primer, I had originally thought that dividing them according to pre- and post-Nikonian editions would be a useful way to divide them, but I abandoned this strategy after observing that south and west Slavic editions frequently did not match the contents of the north Slavic editions, in grammar, syntax, spellings, and phrasings which commonly divide the pre- and post-Nikonian forms of Church Slavonic. Therefore, I decided that a chronological catalogue made more sense. Undoubtedly, there are some mistakes in this catalog, and all corrections or additional information would be gratefully received by the editor.

Defective books in National Library of Russia - reasons:

A) Pages accidentally omitted or skipped during the scanning process. In most cases, sinces the scans were made of facing pages, the verso and recto pages are missing, so one can surmise that the scan was unintentionally omitted.
B) Pages are missing from the original source. In some cases, the beginning and/or ending pages are missing due to heavy usage, but in a few cases the pages must have fallen out from the middle of the book.
C) In a few sources, the scan were made properly, but during the processing, the pages were accidentally switched or shuffled, scrambling the correct order of pagination.
