500 years of the Belarusian Book Printing

 

2017 is the year marking the 500 years of the Belarusian Book Printing. Our country managed to return a unique monument of the national culture – Malaya Padarozhnaya Knizhytsa (The Little Travel Book), which is believed to be the first book published on the territory of the present-day Belarus.

The major events of  2017 included  the presentation of the 20-volume facsimile edition Francysk Skaryna’s Book Legacy, the Grand Prix winner of the Art of the Book contest, a big exhibition project Francysk Skaryna and His Epoch, the international TV project Francysk Skaryna in Foreign Languages and the documentary Pershadruck  that was screened during the Belarusian Literature Day celebrations in Polotsk.
