Abstract

The article is devoted to study of book monastic collections of the Tver and Yaroslavl dioceses on the second half of the 18th - the beginning of the 20th century. Previously, this theme has not been the subject of scientific research. The public policy of publishing had a significant impact on the acquisition of monastic libraries. The study of archival documents allowed the author to analyze quantitative and qualitative composition of the book collections of monasteries, especially the registration, preservation of church books and other publications.
