AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Zolotaya Niva: A Primer for Learning Russian and Church Slavonic Literacy (1908) is a Russian reader/primer designed for teaching Russian and Church Slavonic literacy using a visual‑phonetic method.
Published in Riga by K. G. Zikhman in 1908, the book served as a didactic tool for beginners learning to read and write not only in standard Russian but also in Church Slavonic, the language used in liturgical texts and older manuscripts.
This publication is an early example of methodological primers from the early 20th century and offers a valuable historical insight into language and literacy education in the Russian-speaking world of that era.
Condition: Half-cloth binding – the boards are worn (see photo) but firmly attached; pages are occasionally soiled and the paper has yellowed. Overall, however, the book is in good condition, with no significant damage.
Seller's Story
I strive to find and offer you the most interesting items from Prague’s antiquarian bookstores and second-hand shops: autographs, rarities, photographs, bibliophilia, old prints, posters, maps, catalogs, high-quality or sold-out books, as well as fine art.
Prague has always been a meeting point of cultures and languages. Especially during the 20th century, Czechoslovakia was visited by numerous world-renowned artists, writers, scientists, and other notable figures who left their mark here and established connections with local culture or institutions. So the selection here will be rich in provenance — including German, French, English, Russian, or, for example, Italian.
However, I will also aim to highlight more or less well-known Czech artists and noteworthy items — of interest to collectors and art lovers, especially those passionate about autographs, fine art, and related fields.
