Abstract<\/h4>\n
\n

The article analyzes Univ and Pochaiv old-printed books as important sources for studying the Ukrainian and Church Slavonic languages through the lens of copy-based printed catalogues of the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine. It highlights the role of monastic printing houses of the 16th<\/sup>\u00a0to 18th<\/sup>\u00a0centuries in shaping the Cyrillic print heritage and outlines the thematic, linguistic, and genre repertoire of their publications. Special attention is devoted to scholarly catalogues of Univ and Pochaiv early prints as instruments for documenting edition variants, artistic design, and the history of individual copies.<\/p>\n

The study demonstrates that these catalogues contain not only bibliographic descriptions but also a substantial corpus of printed texts and marginal inscriptions, most of which are published for the first time. The linguistic features of these inscriptions \u2014 their geography, chronology, and functional diversity ranging from provenances to prayers, poetry, and personal notes \u2014 are examined in detail. It\u2019s shown that Univ and Pochaiv old-printed books provide valuable material for investigating the Ukrainian book language and the Ukrainian recension of Church Slavonic in the early modern period. The article concludes by emphasizing the high source-study potential of the Vernadsky Library catalogues for historical-linguistic research and for the compilation of historical dictionaries of the Ukrainian language.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
