Abstract

The largest collection of Cyrillic prints in Poland is held in the National Library. Works originating from Chernihiv typography constitute an important part of this collection. The first printing house in this region was founded by Cyril Tranquilion Stavrovetsky. He printed his own religious works. His activity was continued by Lazarus Baranovich, who also established a printing house to print his own works. He founded it at the Holy Trinity Monastery in Chernihiv, and after his death, typography thus continued to function at the monastery and contributed to the dissemination of secular and religious literature.
