10 марта 2017

By Nina Mozheiko: A facsimile version of the Epistle of Apostle Peter, one of the oldest books of the New Testament dating back to the 3rd century AD, has been presented to Minsk’s general public for the fist time. It arrived from the Vatican Apostolic Library as a reciprocal gift - prior to that, director of Belarus’ National Library handed over a multivolume facsimile edition of Francysk Skaryna’s works to Italian colleagues.

The Book of Books exhibition currently on display at the National Library is dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the book printing pioneer.
