The paper discusses the results of palaeographic and archaeographic research into a 17th-century literary record - the Liturgical Menaion (for April), which was published at the Moscow Print Yard (Moskovskij Pečatnyj dvor) in 1645. The donors’, rulers’ and vendors’ inscriptions on the margins bring unique historical and geographic information on the existence of the Russian printed book over the four centuries and on the historical-cultural ties between Russia and Serbia. The Appendix features a full scholarly description of the copy. The donor’s inscription of Tsar Alexei Mihailovich stating “to the Serbian lands, the monastery of Veden in care of Metropolitan Sophronius”, dated 1652, is represented in figures.
