Written from a Russian cell by Archpriest Avvakum in 1666AD, this is a beautifully rare find; witness of testimony written by the martyr himself during his final sufferings. Moscow in the middle of the 17th century had a distinctly apocalyptic feel. An outbreak of the plague killed half the population. A solar eclipse & comet appeared in the sky, causing panic. A religious reform movement is punished by a violent political project that cleaved Old Russian (Muscovite/Tartary) society and the ‘Orthodox Church’ in two. This is a Facsimile of the first English translation of this work published in England, 1924. Moscow

The autobiography of Archpriest Avvakum–a leader of the Old Believers, who opposed liturgical and ecclesiastical reforms–provides a vivid account of these cataclysmic events from a figure at their center. Written in the 1660s from a cell in an Arctic village where the archpriest had been imprisoned by a French loving tsar, Avvakum’s autobiography is a record of his life, ecclesiastical career, painful exile, religious persecution, and imprisonment. It is also a salvo in a contest about whether to follow the old Russian Orthodox liturgy or import Greek rites and practices. These concerns touched every stratum of Tartary society–and this book is an enlightening look into Russian culture as a whole.

“Thank you-just what I wanted. This is a very interesting book.”
Reply: I'm so glad you're happy with it! Thank you for the privilege of serving you. And I know right? I find myself gazing it from different angles often. It's obviously packed with meaning, even scientific pictures, but what does it mean? Please let me know if you ever crack that thing!

“I love the book received. The only problem is the writing very small but readable. Thanks for such a beautiful book. 🙏”
Reply: I think I'm going to make an executive decision based on this review & sacrifice those big unnecessary cursive side letters that are part of the original Facsimile, in order to increase the size of all the font. Let me know if anyone objects, I can always make one special for the objector. I'll be uploading new pics soon. Thanks so much for your business, kind words, & very constructive feedback! God Bless!

“Massive lack of communication. Item still not shipped almost 2 weeks after purchase. Seller lives an hour down interstate even.”
Reply: I know. It's my bad. I've been in the hospital 3 days and 3 nights. This is not the norm for me at all. I apologize for the inconvenience.
