They are presently housed in the Micromaterials Collection of the university library together with commentaries on the most important of these imprints.
The speaker noted that of the 325 titles obtained from Kyiv, the 112 from Western Rus' (Ukraine and Belorussia) represent some of the oldest centres of early East Slavic printing—Vilnius, Ostroh, Kyiv, and Lviv. Among other imprints the speaker noted those of Krakow (Casoslov, 1482), Venice (5 Service books, 1519-1546) and Moscow (2 Gospel books and 1 Apostol printed before 1564). Prominent among imprints from Western Rus' are the Lviv Apostol (1574), the Ostroh Bible (1581), the Great Lithuanian Statute (1583) , the 1619 edition of Smotryt sky's Church Slavonic grammar, and the Slu&ebnik (1629) and Euohologion of Petro Mohyla. Works by individual preachers and poets include Baranovych' s Mea duxovnyj (1666) and Truby stoves (1674), Galiatovsky' s Kazanja (1660), Kljuc razumenija (1663, 1665) Nebo novoje (1665), Radyvylovsky ' s Ohorodok Marii (1676), Tuptalo's Runo orosennoje (1702).
