On 26 December, at 3 p.m., a ceremony of launching of the national project on facsimile reprint of Skaryna’s books will be held at the Round Hall.
At the event there will be signed the first volume of the complete collection of works created by the first printer of Belarus and Western Europe.
The project which has been started by Bank BelVeb and the National Library of Belarus will be carried out during 2013–2017 and is timed to the 500th anniversary of the national publishing.
For the first time the complete repertory of books published by Francysk Skaryna in Prague and Vilno will be widely available in this multivolume facsimile edition. This work that will contain the books of the first Belarusian printer will be of a great importance for our cultural heritage and will become an important resource of information for historical, philosophical, cultural and book studies.
Editions that will be published due to this project will be donated to the scientific, educational, cultural, public organizations of Belarus and abroad.
