Modern Reprint

Although I have not seen it, I am given to understand that the Ostrog Bible (Ostroz'ska Bibliia in modern Ukrainian) was photoreprinted in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, in 1983. Mike Stoyik 20:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have a copy. It was done by St. Andrew's College, Manitoba in 1983 and commissioned by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada. --JamesTeterenko (talk) 18:53, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ostroh (Ostróg) was part of PLC at the time, let us not introduce anachronisms.[1] Mellk (talk) 02:09, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Title ("Ostróg" vs "Ostroh")

If you search through Google Books and Google Scholar, you'll find that the Ukrainian spelling of "Ostroh" (and even, "Ostrih", just to make things more complicated!) is more common than the Polish "Ostrog". Moreover, the publication's significance lies in its role as a Slavic (Church Slavonic), Orthodox Bible - not Polish. Kobzar1917 (talk) 04:22, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Except this article is not about the city, but about a translation of the Bible from the 1500s. Mellk (talk) 08:40, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Significance

"By translating the Holy Scriptures into the local language and establishing schools and printing houses, the Rus elite were seeking Christ. What they actually found were a people and eventually a nation. We should keep in mind that reading books in an understandable language is a key element in the transformation of a community into a nation. In distinguishing themselves from Western Christianity, the Rus elite also involuntarily drew a line between themselves and the unreformed Orthodox world of Muscovy." - Hrytsak, Y. (2023).
