I need help finding the following service books:
1) The Studite Liturgical Typicon as used in 11th century Russia,
2) Armenian service books that predate the 15th century(see Russia:
Its Rise and progress, tragedies, and revolutions page 134),
3) pre-18th century Old Georgian liturgical books as used by the
Slavo-Georgian (Iberian) Old-Orthodox Church.
thank you,
Jacob Dahlen

I wish I could be encouraging. But I must tell you that the laws of Russia prohibit the export of books over a certain age, and that to the best of my knowledge the Georgian books used by the Old Ritualists have not been reprinted.

Fr. Serge So then what would be the next closest thing that I can get to my above request? What are my options at this point?

BOB Although this may be a dead end, there is one other option. The St. John's Manuscript Library in Collegeville, Minnesota possesses microfilmed manuscripts from all over the world. Their inventory may also be perused online. In the Mother of God, kingstowngalway

Talk one of the folks with the book into scanning it.
If it's that important, pay them. And possibly pay someone else to lay it out in modern software, and make it available via Lulu or another POD system, in a nice, crisp edition.
