The offered lot represents a true and faithful copy of Metropolitan Saint Alexis of Moscow’s (1296-1378) handwritten copy of the New Testament as translated from the original Greek into common Russian. The volume is comprised of 182 pages, of which 173 are printed from photographs of the original Slavonic handwritten pages as inscribed by Alexis and are bound in a faithful replica of the Gospel’s present covers. In the preface written by Metropolitan Leontius (1891-1893), a brief history of the origins of the original as well as his reasons for producing the copy is provided, and it is mentioned that the first copy was placed on the grave of St. Sergiy of Radonezh who was a close associate of Saint Alexis. It is not known exactly how many copies of this book were produced or for whom. However, judging by the elaborate covers and expensive printing process, one can surmise that such copies were produced in limited numbers and intended as special gifts from Metropolitan Leontius, perhaps to his brothers in the Episcopacy.
