What it is
The first complete printed Church Slavonic Bible, prepared in Volhynia from Greek and Slavonic manuscripts under the patronage of a Ruthenian prince.
Why it lasted
The basis of every subsequent Slavonic Bible, and a monument of Orthodox scholarship produced in response to Protestant and Catholic pressure.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
