Glory to Jesus Christ!

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a Velikiy(sp?) Sbornik in cyrillic? I believe Jordanville has there own version, but I know that it's a multi-volume series. I'm trying to find something more like the single book Uzhgorod sbornik (if not that very book itself).

Thank you for your help!

Christ the Saviour Seminary Bookstore in Johnstown has a few copies of the reprint of the 1938 Presov Velikyj Sbornik in Latinika which of course is in the Ruthenian order of things. It contains Bishop Pavel Goidich's Imprimatur. (Ironic as he was my grandmother's cousin... we Rusnaks can not escape each others destinies it seems.....) I learned the Vespers and Matins from that book growing up in Binghamton from my dad. (There were a few holydays and prayers we omitted of course and the old 'black marker' found its way into the text of the Liturgy in a few places! (Don't worry, the book in the bookstore is untouched...)

Thank you for the help! I'll have to see if I can get in touch with the seminary bookstore (it isn't listed on their online store) and see if I can order myself a copy from them!

The five volume Jordanville edition is long out of print, although there still might be a few left in the refectory basement. The 3 volume Moscow edition is also out of print. I had heard that the Uzhgorod Diocese had reprinted the Jordanville edition back around 2002, but I do not know who one would contact there to obtain it. You can call Istok http://www.istok.net/ and see if they still have any left.

The 1938 Presov Sbornik is not in Slavonic, but Latinsku alphabet.
