Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to illustrate with five exemplar printed books the nature of books published by, or for, Old Believers in the small town of Klintsy in the Starodub frontier region. All of these books form part of the Slavonic Library’s collection in Prague. Using theoretical insights from a social mechanism and the concepts of textual community and graphosphere combined with a multimethod methodology this article demonstrates how deliberately anonymized Old Believer books can be systematically studied in the field of Slavic librarianship with the purpose of providing enhanced consultancy services to students and scholars.
