A book without a title, damaged by the dust of i centuries“. The so-called London specimen is the shortest (has 176 pages ir reaching Book of Joshua), the Berlin copy is almost twice as long (384 119 Note pages, ends the book of Job), Vilnius copy the largest (416 pages, printed up to 40 psalmes). Both of the latter are now considered missing, but they were published in various publications of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. | the book was intended to include those reprinted parts of the Berlin and Vilnius copies that were not in the London copy. [from the Berlin copy are published Heinrich Reinhold (1896), Augustas Leskienas (1919), Eduardas Hermannas (1926), Jurgis Gerullis (1927) and Janas Otrebskis (1957). The Vilnius copy was in the hands of Jacob Quandt and mentioned in the introduction to his Bible (1735), it was described in detail by Jurgis Pliateris (1831), and published in pictures by Adam Jocheris (1842), Eduardas Wolteris (1887), Maurycis Stankiewiczius (1889). The Vilnius copy was transported to Vilnius in 1842, after 1918 there is no Ziniy about it. The Berlin copy disappeared during the Second World War, but its copy was used by Jan Otrebski, as indicated in his chrestomaty Teksty litewskie 1. Ancient Texts (Warsaw: PWN, 1957). At the invitation of Juozas Karaciejus, I became interested in the fate of Professor Otrebskis’ archive. Norbertas Ostrowskis (University of Poznań) reported that Otrebskis bequeathed all his books to the Vilnius University Library. With the help of the Lithuanian Language Institute librarian Vilija Lukseviciene I contacted Nijolė Sulgiene, the head of the VUB Reading Room, and Loreta Vincloviene, a staff member of this department. In the catalogue there was no mention of Chylinskis Bible, but at the initiative of the library director Birute Butkevitiene, the department staff checked every document in the Otrebskis Fund and gave a significant information: Chylinskis Bible Berlin copy is in the Vilnius University Library's Reading Room, its number: VUB RS f. 124-155. In 1989 Otrebskis’s archives were handed over to the Vilnius University Library by Helena Orebska-Samaniite in execution of her husband’s will. Most likely the pre-war copy is of good quality for those times, ends at page 384, i8 you 337-368 is broken (missed 22 and 23 arc). | A4 format page copied all the flap, so the original is slightly reduced (London ex. dimensions -18x22cm), but relatively well readable.
