1995 An Icon Painter's Notebook: The Bolshakov Edition Anthology shops of Source Materials Gregory Melnick

Here is An Icon Painter's Notebook: The Bolshakov Edition, An Anthology of Source Materials, translated and edited by Gregory Melnick, a softcover published by Oakwood Publications in 1995. Originally published in Slavonic as Iconographic Patternbook in 1903.

This "is a book of narrative descriptions of icons....Many of the icons described in this present book are illustrated in The Stroganov Tradition but one should not look for contradictions among parallel traditions, or judge legitimate variations un-Orthodox. Three hundred years ago the figurative patternbooks or drawing collections were used to produce sets of twelve calendar icons; shops while the books of narrative descriptions were probably used to make sets of weekly icons and altar screens, both the large church iconostases and portable ones." This book is a companion to and augments and supplementsAn Iconographicer's Patternbook.
