Ukrainian Cyrillic handwritten book of the XVII century from the fonds of theManuscript Institute of VNLU: codicological-paleographic study and description

The article provides the historiographical review of the main trends in contemporary codicological-paleographic study and description of the Ukrainian Cyrillic handwritten book of the XVII century, which is deposited in book gatherings and collections of the Manuscript Institute of V. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine. The conducted historiographical analysis is a significant indicator of the given period manuscript heritage processing and description degree. The purpose of our work is to reveal the latest published descriptions of the Ukrainian codes of the ХVІІ century. In the publication we have determined the importance of the reviewed works in the modern scientific description of Ukrainian codes. We have noted that the Ukrainian Cyrillic handwritten book of the XVII century has not yet become a definite object of the historical codicologicaland source studies, has not been properly processed as a complex and has not been studied as a phenomenon of the general Ukrainian handwritten book culture so far. It is still necessary to study the latest published descriptions of Ukrainian codes for future researches.
