Gospel with a dedicatory inscription to Paschenko Maksym

Printed in 1915. Printed in a single color, the text divided into two columns separated by a thin vertical line. The text is set within a thin frame, whose corners end outward in palmettes. The edition has running heads, with numeric pagination in the upper outer corners. The cover is of stiff cardboard, bound in blue leather, with stamping. The front cover has an ornamental frame, at whose center is a shaped cartouche, bordered by winding branches with flowers and leaves, containing a gold-toned eight-pointed cross. The back cover repeats the stamping of the front. The spine is decorated with a stamped floral ornament and the gilt inscription: "The Holy Gospel."

On the left flyleaf is a printed text (in Russian): "This Holy Gospel is presented to Maksym Pashchenko, upon completion of the course of study at the elementary public school attached to the Kuznetsov Partnership factory in Budy, with the aim that, reading it within his family, he may be a devout, respectful-to-his-elders, hardworking, and moral person, and conduct his life according to the teaching of Jesus Christ. May 4, 1915. Trustee A. Kuznetsov."

The Gospel was printed in 1915.

It was donated to the museum by Yehor Hryhorovych Nytekin, a foreman of locksmiths at the Budy Faience Factory, in 1962.
