great miracle
At all times, anywhere in the world the book was considered a miracle of miracles.After all, she could heal the soul, enrich knowledge, to give strength and wisdom.Special cult book in ancient Russia and other countries of the world confirmed, for example, such statements:
- book - a repository of treasures;

- book that sunlight illuminates the path for everyone.
When the first book
establish the exact date and place of birth of the first book of the scientist is not yet possible.But the interesting fact that many Slavic peoples words sound very similar.And to understand that we are talking about the book, Russian, Ukrainians, Belarusians, a Czech, a Pole does not require a special order: and so people understand each other.
is necessary to make an assumption: people knew methods of making books, she was in his everyday life even before there was a division of the peoples on territorial and linguistic grounds.A retention of the word in the modern language of different peoples unchanged also defines a special cult book.
In ancient Russia, as some modern scholars, in the middle of the first millennium there were books.However, they were handwritten, and little in line with our ideas about them.I must say that even if the first attempt of the invention a method of printing.
Creating manuscripts were costly, but the people that did not stop that, too, points to a special cult book.In ancient Rus' this treasure is highly appreciated.Cost of the book value was equal to the average value of the estate with all buildings, land and peasants living here.

development of book publishing
The situation began to change after the adoption of Christianity.It influenced the development of bilateral relations.During the entire follow-up period continues to create a special cult books in ancient Russia.
Grade 4 some modern educational programs contains a list of literary works created during the period when the rewriting of the books are no longer just a matter of the church.The first samples of secular literary works have survived."Lay", "Russian Truth", "Instruction of Vladimir Monomakh" and other works, which are samples of ancient literature, studied in elementary and high school.This fact also points to the special cult book.
In ancient Rus determine the status of a person occurs depending on whether he knows how to read, how literate.Therefore, the book were drawn not only church leaders, government officials, but also potters, warriors, architects.One example of this - many birch bark and other writing samples that are found by archeologists and scientists-historians.
