Links "begins the publication of an electronic edition of one of the most famous monuments of ancient Russian art - the Facial Chronicle. The facial chronicle vault of the 16th century is a monumental monument of ancient Russian book art, in terms of scale and breadth of coverage
historical events
, as well as in the form of presentation of the material, which has no analogues in the world. This is the largest chronicle-chronographic work of medieval Rus'. The facial chronicle was created by order of Ivan IV the Terrible in the period 1568-1576. in Alexandrovskaya Sloboda, which at that time became the political center of the Russian state, the permanent residence of the Tsar. A whole staff of royal book writers and artists worked on compiling the code.
The facial vault has survived to this day in 10 volumes, located in different ancient repositories: the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg and the State Historical Museum in Moscow. The ACTEON company, together with its curators, several years ago for the first time produced a scientific facsimile publication of the “Facebook Chronicle of the 16th Century”. Today the Russian Faith website begins publishing full version. The proposed edition with translation is presented in three sections: biblical history,
Unlike some edited, unreliable, copied versions from low-quality paper reprints that can be found on the Internet, our publication is the primary source of this most valuable document. It was provided by the publishing house "AKTEON", whose employees carried out direct scanning of the facial vault, stored in Russian ancient repositories.
Today we are talking with the director of the publishing house "AKTEON" Kharis Harrasovich Mustafin.
Haris Harrasovich, several years ago the publishing house "AKTEON" began large-scale work on scanning and publishing monuments of ancient Slavic literature. Why, in the presence of numerous ancient chronicles, Chety-Menya and other things, was the Facial Vault chosen as the main, main project?
The facial chronicle of the 16th century stands apart in ancient Russian chronicles. This is the greatest book monument, which is distinguished, first of all, by the scale of its presentation of events - from the creation of the world, biblical events, to world historical events. Finally, it sets out Russian chronicle history from the times of Vladimir Monomakh to the times of Ivan the Terrible.
This monument is interesting both from the point of view of the large amount of information and because it is a single complex, which was created, apparently, as a kind of state order during the formation of the Russian Empire in the 16th century. This is its uniqueness. On the other hand, this monument has a peculiarity: on almost 10 thousand sheets of manuscript there are more than 17.5 thousand book miniatures, never repeated, woven into the outline of the narrative. It turns out that this is not illustrative material for the manuscript, and the manuscripts are not captions for such a huge array of book miniatures.
This is something new, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, a unique artistic-literary-historical work, where texts are interspersed with book miniatures, which often depict much more than is stated in the texts. Thus, the reader in these books can look at the events they recount through the eyes of Russian scribes of the 16th century. This is of particular value.
Therefore, to the question of why we took up the Facial Chronicle corpus, I want to answer that it was precisely because of its uniqueness. Many generations of historians and philologists dreamed of the appearance of a facsimile edition of this monument, and only thanks to new technologies XXI century and the determination of our team to begin this work and complete it, it became possible to publish this book monument.
One more thing. When we were selecting material for publication, we sought advice from the Presidium Russian Academy Sciences and to the Archaeographic Commission of the Academy of Sciences. When asked what the most outstanding of the Russian book monuments is in the ancient repositories, we were answered unequivocally that this is the Litsevoy Chronicle, which has no analogues either in Russia or abroad. Therefore, the publishing house “ACTEON” was created specifically for the project of publishing the Facial Code.
From the point of view of what tasks were set, we need to talk about a very important point. Not only the publishing house worked on the project, but also the largest library-custodians of the Personal Chronicle. Participated in this project big number various specialists - historians, philologists from leading specialized organizations. This is not just a facsimile edition of a book monument, it is a scientific facsimile edition, which presents detailed descriptions original books, history of existence, a huge amount of work has been done to prepare indexes and bibliographic material. It is also very important that work has been done to completely transliterate the text and interlinear translation into modern Russian, which dramatically expanded the opportunity for even unprepared people to get acquainted with this monument.
Few publishers have done this before. Now this is becoming a kind of standard, because it is very convenient for people. Many publishing houses are now trying to publish the original text and its transliteration, and if they have the strength, then a translation into a modern language. This hard work. Ancient and modern languages are very close, and it is not at all easy to convey certain phrases without greatly distorting their meaning, so that it is understandable to contemporaries. From our point of view, it is very important that the book monuments that we deal with are created both for scientific specialists and for everyone interested in the history and culture of Rus'. We publish the Personal Chronicle in an easy-to-read form.
Can the books of the Litsevoy Vault give the modern reader new historical information?
The facial vault is interesting for several reasons. Firstly, its pages consistently set out the vision of history by Russian scribes of the 16th century, as they understood it. They compiled these books based on their idea of history, and they understood that the history of any state and any society comes from the creation of the world, followed by biblical events, then world history, including the history of Troy, ancient Rome, Byzantium, then the transition to Russian stories. A complete picture of the historical canvas is described. There are few materials where this concept can be seen in its entirety. As a rule, what is published is fragmentary, but here we see an overall unified picture of the understanding of history by people of the 16th century, which is very important.
Later, of course, historical science developed, and this led to the emergence of many different new concepts about what the history was, in particular, of Rus'. Often science was formed to suit one or another political order. Therefore, to have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with and evaluate the vision of Russian scribes history XVI century, based on the published document - the Facial Chronicle, represents a very interesting opportunity. This vision is not clouded by many layers, on the one hand, artificially contrived, and on the other hand, based on modern historical science. From the Litsevoy Vault, which is, in fact, the primary source, one can examine many historical events of both the 16th century and an earlier era through the eyes of educated Russian scribes.
The point of studying the Code is that in addition to some textual descriptions of events, there is a lot of material related to the display of historical events in miniatures. Often only in them can one see many aspects related to the development of technology, weapons, crafts, and construction. To this day, almost no graphic information has been preserved about events in Rus' and countries adjacent to Rus', which would be reflected graphically. From this point of view, the material in the Code is very interesting and, indeed, can give the modern reader a lot of new historical information. The main thing is that a person has an inquisitive mind and is truly interested in the history and culture of his country.
Today, many publishers publish reprints and facsimile editions. However, their quality in most cases is, to put it mildly, lame. What technologies and software products were used by ACTEON to create, without exaggeration, the highest quality publication of this kind?
It has already been said that when the decision was made to publish a scientific facsimile edition of the Personal Chronicle, the publishing house “ACTEON” was specially created. The main emphasis in the work of this company was on the use of cutting-edge technologies that emerged at the beginning of the 21st century. These are the first non-contact book scanners that allow you to illuminate ancient books with gentle light and non-contact, carefully scan them with the highest quality.
Digital technologies also appeared, largely developed by specialists from our publishing house, which made it possible to virtually straighten the images of open books, to combine the face and the back of the sheets without the slightest distortion of the colors of book miniatures. And finally, our company purchased the country's first digital printing house, which allows for small-circulation production, in fact, the production of books to order at the highest level.
In order to obtain high-quality book bindings, our company created a division that carries out manual book binding, in which, in particular, the technology of the famous Russian book binding of the 16th century was reproduced.
This made it possible to create books that are not only unique in content, but in a certain sense are a work of modern book art.
Which Russian libraries and collections have received your edition of the Litsevoy Vody? Are there any reviews?
Our publication has arrived in almost all the largest libraries in the country: regional, republican, and central. It ended up in the largest universities in the country, as well as in a number of foreign libraries, primarily university ones, where the study of Slavic studies and the history of Eastern Europe and Russia takes place.
We received a lot of positive feedback. Moreover, on the initiative of the Bavarian National Library and the Institute for the Study of National History of Eastern Europe and Russia in Munich in 2011, the first International Conference dedicated to the study of the Facial Chronicle was held. It was published as a result of the appearance of our publication in the largest libraries of the country and the world.
Abroad, the publication of the Facial Vault, in a certain sense, created a scientific sensation, because for the first time a huge array of unique material, which had previously been inaccessible to study by specialists, became available for study. Moreover, the material is extremely valuable, both from the point of view of texts and from the point of view of a large number of book miniatures.
Nowadays, the monopoly on familiarization with historical sources that specialists and researchers previously had is gradually being lost. An increasing number of digital copies are being published online. What role do you think the publication of primary sources can play in historical science, and social life?
The question is posed in such a way as if the monopoly was created artificially. Researching historical sources is actually hard work. The people who do this work inspire deep respect and admiration. This work requires the highest qualifications. At the same time, our publications are aimed at facilitating the work of these specialists - on the one hand, and at the same time making unique book monuments more accessible to a wide range of the public who are interested in the book culture and history of their country.
In our opinion, Russian book culture deserves to be proud of it, to be known, so that people interested in the history of the country take these book monuments into service in order to carry them, first of all, to educational system, to their families. I want people, especially young people, to be proud of their country, their history, to know this history.

The fact that more and more materials relating to the history of the country, especially documents, are being published on the Internet is an extremely positive trend, which, we hope, will bear good fruit. More and more young people will be interested in the history and culture of the country, and this, from our point of view, will contribute to the revival and prosperity of Russia.

The proposed edition with translation - as an addition to the scientific apparatus of the above-mentioned facsimile - is presented in three sections: biblical history, world history, Russian chronicle history.
In this edition, the pages are arranged in chronological order of the story.
On external field Transliteration and translation into modern Russian are posted.
Russian chronicle history 1114-1567. - reflected on 6010 of the Front Chronicle of the 16th century in its following volumes:
G - Golitsyn volume (Department of Manuscripts of the Russian National Library, F.IV.225),
L - Laptevsky TOM (Department of Manuscripts of the Russian National Library, F.IV.233),
O-I - Osterman's first volume (Department of Manuscripts of the Library of the Academy of Sciences, 31.7.30-1),
O-II - Ostermanovsky second volume (Department of Manuscripts of the Library of the Academy of Sciences, 31, 7. 30-2),
Sh - Shumilovsky volume (Department of Manuscripts of the Russian National Library, F, IY. 232),
C - Synodal volume (Department of Manuscripts of the State Historical Museum. Synod. No. 962),
Ts-Royal Book (Department of Manuscripts of the State Historical Museum. Sin. No. 149).
The footnotes contain discrepancies with the PSRL - Complete Collection of Russian Chronicles - a fundamental book series for the study of the history of ancient and medieval Rus' (its texts were mainly published in typesetting, in the orthography of the 19th century).
Currently, the history of Russia is greatly distorted. Trying to get to the bottom of the truth, you find a huge amount of contradictory information. It is very difficult to understand where the truth is.
Falsifications have been carried out for centuries. Even in the time of Catherine, foreign “historians” distorted our entire history. Therefore, it is necessary to refer to earlier sources. One of these is the little-known Facial Chronicle of Ivan the Terrible. It includes a chronicle collection of events in world and especially Russian history.
The facial chronicle was created in the 2nd half of the 16th century by order of Tsar Ivan IV Vasilyevich the Terrible in a single copy for his children. Metropolitan and “sovereign” artisans worked on the books of the Front Vault: about 15 scribes and 10 artists. The arch consists of about 10 thousand sheets and over 17 thousand illustrations, and the visual material occupies about 2/3 of the entire volume of the monument. Miniature drawings (landscape, historical, battle and everyday life genres) not only illustrate the text, but also complement it. Some events are not written, but only drawn. The drawings tell readers what clothing, military armor, church vestments, weapons, tools, household items, etc. looked like in ancient times.
In the history of world medieval writing there is no monument similar to the Front Chronicle, both in breadth of coverage and in volume. It included:
1. (C) (C)Museum collection (GIM).
1031 sheets, 1677 miniatures. An account of sacred, Hebrew and Greek history from the creation of the world to the destruction of Troy in the 13th century. BC e.
2. (C)(C)Chronographic collection (BAN). 1469 sheets, 2549 miniatures. An account of the history of the ancient East, the Hellenistic world and ancient Rome from the 11th century. BC e. until the 70s I century n. e.
3. (C)(C)Face Chronograph (RNB) . 1217 sheets, 2191 miniatures. Outline of the history of the ancient Roman Empire from the 70s. I century to 337 and Byzantine history to the 10th century.
4. (C)(C) Golitsyn volume (RNB). 1035 sheets, 1964 miniatures. Outline of Russian history for 1114-1247 and 1425-1472.
5. (C)(C)Laptev volume (RNB). 1005 sheets, 1951 miniature. Outline of Russian history for 1116-1252.
6. (C) (C) Osterman's first volume (BAN). 802 sheets, 1552 miniatures. Outline of Russian history for 1254-1378.
7. (C) (C) Osterman's second volume (BAN).
887 sheets, 1581 miniatures. Outline of Russian history for 1378-1424.
8. (C)(C) Shumilov volume (RNB). 986 sheets, 1893 miniatures. Outline of Russian history for 1425, 1478-1533.
Knowing what is happening now, it is no longer surprising why history is not studied using these data. You and I should not know about our great glorious past, we should think. That from time immemorial we have been lazy, drunkards and mediocrities. And it doesn’t matter that a huge number of world discoveries and inventions belong to Russians, that we are an invincible, fair people - anything can be inspired.
Currently, the chronicle collection is stored in three places: in the State Historical Museum (volumes 1, 9, 10), in the library of the Russian Academy of Sciences (volumes 2, 6, 7) and in the Russian National Library (volumes 3, 4, 5, 8 ).
You can supposedly download it on the Internet nowadays. But be careful, you can only trust the facsimile edition, because what is on the Internet is already distorted.
A copy of the complete facsimile edition of the Litsevoy Chronicle can be found in the library of the Manuscripts Department of the State Historical Museum in Moscow and in the Pushkin House in St. Petersburg.
Currently, the Facial Chronicle is published for charitable and educational purposes by the Society of Lovers of Ancient Writing. Distributed free of charge
