The Peresopnytske Gospel Book: Ukraine’s Spiritual Legacy n The Peresopnytske Gospel Book is a famous historical manuscript of old Ukrainian literary language and art. This translation, completed be - tween 1556-1561, uses the language spoken by the people. This magnif - icent Gospel Book is a large thick bo- ok with 482 pages and weigh ing 9.3 kg. Rich ly or na mented, it contains full-colour miniatures that are un - equaled in beau ty and splendor among other Ukrainian ma nu scripts. It contains the four Gospels as well as a summary before each Book. The margins contain ex planations for many of the more difficult terminology. The language used is a wonder of Ukrainian culture. The Gospel Books became well-re search ed by linguists of many generations. The Insti tute of Ukrainian Language of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences issued a reprint that had a circulation of about 500 copies. Since 1947 the original Pe re sop - nyts ke Gospel Book has been held in the collection of the Vernadskiy Na - tional Library of Uk raine. The Pere sop nytske Gospel has taken on symbolic political importance in the mo dern Ukrainian state. The original Go spel Book is brought to the Ukrainian Parliament and used for the oath during the inauguration of the President of Uk raine. It will be used on June 7, 2014 to swear in the newly-elected president, Petro Poroshenko. Frescos of four Evangelists (left to right): Sts.
