The Acts and Epistles of the Apostles (the "Apostle"), completed in 1564, is the first Russian printed publication that has an exact date. It was published by Ivan Fyodorov in Moscow.[1][2]
It includes a short history of the origins of the Moscow Print Yard, written by the printer. The work on the "Apostle" began on 19 April 1563 and finished on 1 March 1564.[3]
It was published at the Moscow Print Yard and written in the liturgical language of the Russian Orthodox Church. Ivan Fyodorov was one of the first printers in the East Slavic region, publishing liturgical works using movable type. The "Apostle" was widely used by the Russian Orthodox Church and about 120 copies are known to exist, of which five are in the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine.[4]
