Book Chapter
The Slavic Book
2019
Overview
The Slavic book is written in nearly thirty languages and three main scripts (Glagolitic, Latin, and Cyrillic). With some exceptions, the Slavic book developed within the Christian European tradition, mirroring the divide between two branches of Christianity – the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic. The chapter summarizes the history of the Slavic book from the ninth century to the present day, pointing at the most important trends in book production and book markets, drawing attention to the role of censorship, state control, and national revivals and highlighting the major treasures produced in the Slavic book world.
