A large Russian Orthodox Psalter probably in the 18th-19th century

Description: A large Russian Orthodox Psalter probably in the 18th-19th century - VERY RARE! I am offering an extremely rare large Russian Orthodox Psalter /Псалтирь с толкованием/ printed probably in Moscow in the 18 -19th century. This Psalter is hardcover, format 30x20x6 cm/ 11.8x7.9x2.4 inches and has a total of 375 leaves or 750 pages. The Psalter weighs 1895 grams and is printed in a large format with two large full-page lithographs and many small lithographs placed at the beginning of each chapter. This book is without the title page, and therefore I cannot determine the exact year and place in which it was printed. The book has old restorations with manuscript restored text on the first few leaves, with possibly 1-2 missing leaves at the end. In addition, there is also a torn sheet/139/ which can very easily be glued in place. The hard covers of the book were bound in leather, but in its old restoration the leather is covered with brown paper - you get what you see in the pictures. A wonderful and extremely rare acquisition for collectors and antiquarians. If you like what you see, place your bid! The photos speak for themselves and are followed by the most detailed description possible. We're not experts in all fields, we describe you the items to the best of our ability. Good luck and happy bidding. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
