Here we find the books needed by priests and monks for their own liturgical life, for their theological and canonical reading. We also find a number of friars' chronicles noting important events, donations, deaths, feasts celebrated in honour of local saints etc. Only a handful of these manuscripts are in Russian, and are included in the inventory collections.
