Abstract

In the article, the Bible is treated as a component of the Old Russian literary tradition. Particular attention is focused on the functional uses of the Bible in Old Rus’, the texts of the biblical periphery, interpretation of biblical texts, and the peculiarity of the biblical poetics. The first Slavic editions of biblical books are analyzed alongside with the main trends of biblical humanism. The observations are introduced into the context of South Slavic and Western European traditions.
