Note: the Psalter is one of the biblical books of the Old Testament, consisting of 150 psalms (verses) for reading during worship. Originally these were chants accompanied by musical instruments. The name comes from "psalterion," a stringed instrument to whose accompaniment the psalms were performed. The Psalter was also used as a primer for teaching literacy. 24.50 × 18.50 cm height cm 24.50 width cm 18.50 Production Невідомо Unknown 20th century 1900 2000 paper cardboard leather printing embossing typography / early printed book КБ-6894 item Слобожанський код.
