Russian Holy Gospel from 1881 with beautiful brass hardware on both sides. A very well preserved Russian Orthodox Holy Gospel of the 1881 Synodal Moscow typography with preserved title page, sturdy book cover, no torn or rubbed pages. The book has been used and has some wax stains that are clearly visible in the photos. The Gospel contains four surviving large-format engravings of the evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Very good condition and excellent brass hardware with religious scenes. The four evangelists and the Ascension of Christ are depicted on the obverse. The Holy Trinity is depicted on the back. Large size, copper lids, quite heavy and massive - about 2.2 kg. and dimensions 260x190x50mm/10.2x7.5x2 inches. The book has a total of 234 leaves as the leaves are reserved without any scribbles on them and the pages have a gilded border on the sides. A great asset for collectors and antique dealers - you get what you see in the photos.
