Dimitriy Rostovsky reading menologion between Kyiv, Moscow and Rila monastery: A page of the history of slavonic editing and establishing a comprehensive publishing process in the Russian Empire in the 18th century

A detailed analysis of proofreading copies of Dimitriy Rostovskyi’s Reading Menologion Lives of the Saints from Rila Monastery reveals these texts represent the final stage of the editorial and publishing process for the first Moscow edition (1756–9). This finding sheds light on the collaborative publishing history between Kyiv, Moscow, and Rila, highlighting the role of the Most Holy Governing Synod in overseeing the work. The study examines proofreading marks and annotations, offering a rare glimpse into the comprehensive publishing process of Eastern European religious texts during the 18th-century Russian Empire.
