IVAN FEDOROV

Ivan Fedorov is the first Russian printer. In 1553, John IV ordered the construction of a special house for a printing house in Moscow; but the latter was discovered only in 1563; when the first Russian printers Ivan Fedorov and Pyotr Mstislavets began to work in it. Two years later they completed the printing of "The Apostle". Immediately after the release of the Apostle, persecution of printers by scribes began, and Ivan Fedorov and Peter Mstislavets had to flee to Lithuania, where they were cordially received by Hetman Khotkevich, who founded a printing house on his estate Zabludovo. The first book printed at the Zabludovsky printing house with the help of Ivan Fedorov and Pyotr Mstislavets was The Teaching Gospel (1568). Loving his work, Ivan Fedorov, in order to continue it, moved to Lvov and here, in the printing house he founded, printed the second edition of the Apostle (1574). A few years later he was invited by Prince Konstantin Ostrozhsky to the city of Ostrog, where he printed, on behalf of the prince, the famous "Ostroh Bible", the first complete Bible in the Slavic-Russian language. Shortly thereafter, the "Drukar Muscovite" died on the outskirts of Lvov, in dire poverty (December 1583). Wed Bakhtiarov "The history of the book in Russia" (St. Petersburg, 1890). V.R.

Until the 15th century, painstaking important work was carried out in all monasteries - books were copied. Each new book was created from several months to several years. Everything changed in 1534 when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press. It took more than twenty years for new technology came to Russia.

Ruled back in 1563 by Prince Ivan the Terrible. The great ruler wanted to keep up with Europe. So, at his command, on April 19, 1563, the first “printing house” in Russia was opened. The famous monk Ivan Fedorov became the first printer. A month later, a printed book was published, which became the first published in Russian. It was called "Acts and Epistles of the Apostles" or more simply "Apostles". The book came out wonderful, a special two-color printing, invented by Ivan Fedorov. It is decorated with 22 initial letters, 46 ornamental headpieces with elements of cones and vines. The author's idea that the book looks like a handwritten one according to the old traditions was a success.

Drukar from God

Few people know, but we owe the appearance of spaces between words to the first printer Ivan Fedorov. Previously, all words were written together. Only sentences were separated by dots. In addition, he introduced some new words and even letters. We still use the alphabet invented in the distant 15-16 centuries. Ivan Fedorov possessed encyclopedic knowledge, spoke and wrote fluently in several languages, and believed that his vocation was to bring spiritual and intellectual enlightenment, knowledge and books to the people, to teach people to read and write and lead a righteous life.

The fruits of the labors of the righteous and printed

However, Fedorov did not work on the books himself; Peter Mstislavets was his assistant and friend. A year after the "Apostles", the Watchmaker saw the light of day. Some time later it was republished. Envy and persecution from supporters of the old traditions were too great. The monks did not want to recognize book printing; by their deeds they managed to escape the first printers. But they did not stop their work. In 1568 the Doctrine Gospel was published. Then there were the Four Gospels, the Psalter, the Psalter with the Hourbook, the ABC, the Psalter and the New Testament. The last was the Ostroh Bible. It is also the first complete Bible in Church Slavonic.

The great contribution of Ivan Fedorov and Peter Mstislavets to the spiritual and cultural development Slavic peoples were appreciated by the descendants. Monuments were erected in their honor, a holiday was founded.

Manuscripts of Ancient Russia.

The very first printed book appeared in our country in 1564.

In Russia, the initiator of printing was Ivan. He went down in history as the pioneer printer Ivan Fedorov, although in some of the books he printed he signed as Ivan Fedorovich Moskvitin. The printing press was then a matter of national importance, and no one dared to engage in printing without the king's instructions. After all, Ivan the Terrible then ruled - a terrible and cruel king. But the tsar understood the significance of the book and, having decided not to lag behind Europe, he ordered the construction of the Sovereign's Printing House. The church deacon Ivan Fedorov, the future first printer, became its leader.

The first printed book, in which the name of Ivan Fedorov (and Peter Mstislavets, who helped him), was the "Apostle", work on which was carried out, as indicated in the afterword to it, from April 19, 1563 to March 1, 1564. This is the first accurately dated printed Russian book.

Ivan Fedorov (between 1510 and 1530 - 1583), born Ivan Fedorovich Moskovitin, is one of the first distributors of book printing in Russia and Ukraine. He published the first dated printed book in the Russian kingdom called "Apostle", founded a printing house in the Russian province of the Polish kingdom.

Origin

The exact place of birth of Ivan Fedorov and even the date of his birth are not known to researchers. They can only make assumptions based on fragmentary information found in various historical documents.

So, there is a great difference in the years in which a book printer could be born, but historians still lean closer to 1510. As for the homeland, Fedorov himself calls Moscow his fatherland. The conducted studies of its typographical mark suggest that it could be related to the ancient Belarusian gentry family of Ragoza. A specific place is most often called the Dzerzhinsky and Vileika districts of the Minsk region.

According to the versions of some scholars, Ivan Fedorov was enrolled as a student at the University of Krakow and recorded as "Johannes Theodori Moscus" and studied there from 1529 to 1532. This is very likely to be true, especially given the coincidence of names.
In the early 1530s, Fedorov served under the Moscow Metropolitan Macarius as a deacon.

The device of the Moscow printing house

When in 1552 work began on the organization of the first printing house in Moscow, Ivan Fedorov became an apprentice with a master who arrived from Denmark. In the next few years, several copies of books were released that did not include any imprint. But the main thing was yet to come, it required a long preparation.

In 1564, the Moscow "Apostle" finally saw the light. It contained the names of the creators: Ivan Fedorov himself and Peter Mstislavets, who helped him in his work.

Despite the organization of the Printing House in Moscow and the successes achieved by the first printer, after some time he unexpectedly left Moscow and went to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Official version says that this happened due to the dissatisfaction of the scribes of books, who were afraid of being left without work and even burned down the printing house. However, modern researchers see other possible explanations. For example, by the years described, Fedorov had become a widow and, according to the rules of the white clergy, had to take monastic vows. For some reason, he did not do this, so he was removed from printing activities.

Fedorov himself writes that he was forced to leave the Fatherland by the anger and envy of state leaders and priests.

Lithuania

Arriving in the Principality of Lithuania, Ivan Fedorov settled in the estate of Hetman Khodkevich, who at that time had already created a printing house and needed specialists to establish its work. For several years everything went well, but soon the hetman suddenly decided that he no longer needed a new enterprise, and closed it.

Fedorov strove to continue doing what he loved. However, for this he needed substantial funds. Having moved to Lvov, with the voluntary help of the townspeople, he managed to establish a new printing house. Despite the fact that many new books were published, things did not go very well, again the resistance of interested parties played a negative role. As a result, Fedorov had to sell his company.

The next place of residence of the first printer was the city of Ostrog, where he was invited by Konstantin Ostrozhsky. Here he published the "Ostroh Bible" ─ a magnificent edition in Church Slavonic.

End of life

Ivan Fedorov was famous not only for his attitude to the spread of printing. He was also engaged in casting cannons and even invented a multi-barreled mortar, which had interchangeable parts. It was with this discovery that he went to Europe, where he traveled to many cities, demonstrating it to interested people.

The trip turned out to be long and difficult, and by that time Fedorov himself was already quite a few years old. It is believed that it was the difficulties suffered that crippled the health of the inventor. As a result, on December 5, 1583, not far from Lvov, he died and was buried in the cemetery of the local St. Onufrievsky Monastery.

Today, to print a book, it is enough to charge the printer with ink and the right amount of paper. After waiting three minutes (or half an hour - here the power of the device plays a role), anyone who wishes will print out the necessary book - even the Bible, even the Anarchist Cookbook. Previously, to carry out this kind of work, one would have to make much more effort and use much more resources, and only a few could carry out such an operation, including Ivan Fedorov.

Childhood and youth

There is no reliable information about the childhood of the first printer. According to historians, Ivan was born in 1510 in the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Much of this date is based on the findings of the Soviet historian Yevgeny Lvovich Nemirovsky, who found a document indicating that between 1529 and 1532 Ivan studied at the Jagiellonian University, which is located in Krakow, the current capital of Poland.

Also, according to Soviet and Russian historians, the ancestors of the first printer were from the lands belonging to the current Republic of Belarus. After graduating from the Jagiellonian University in 1532, Fedorov was appointed deacon of the Church of St. Nicholas Gostunsky. Metropolitan Macarius himself becomes his direct leader in those years, with whom Ivan will have a long cooperation.

First printing house

In 1552, he made a landmark decision - to start printing books in Church Slavonic in Moscow. Before that, there were similar attempts to print books in Church Slavonic, but abroad.


The king ordered that a specialist in the field of printing, living in Denmark, be brought to him. This specialist was Hans Messingheim, who became famous for his work not only in his homeland. Under his leadership, the first printing house in Russia was built.

By decree of the king, printing presses and the first letters were brought from Poland - printed elements with symbols of the Church Slavonic alphabet. Later they were updated and supplemented by Vasyuk Nikiforov, who was invited by the tsar in 1556. Also, Nikiforov became the first Russian engraver - these are his works can be found in the surviving copies of books printed in that printing house.


Having established his expectations regarding book printing, Ivan the Terrible opens the Moscow Printing Yard, which functions and develops at the expense of the state budget. This event takes place in 1563.

Already next year, the first and, fortunately, preserved book of the printing court - "The Apostle" - will be published. Later it will be supplemented by the Book of Hours. In both cases, Ivan Fedorov takes an active part in the work, as evidenced by the imprint of the publications. It is believed that the king appointed him a disciple of Messingheim on the advice of Metropolitan Macarius.


"Moscow Apostle" Ivan Fedorov

It is not for nothing that the book of a religious nature became a full-fledged debut work of the publishing house, as in the case of Johannes Guttenberg. The church of those years was very different from the churches of today. Then the priority was the education of the people, and all textbooks in one way or another were connected with the sacred writings.

It is worth mentioning that the Moscow Printing Yard has been the victim of arson more than once. It was rumored that this was the work of copyist monks, who saw competition in printing that could reduce the need for them, or at least the cost of the services provided by the monks. In part they were right.


In 1568, by decree of Tsar Fedorov, he moved to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. On the way, Ivan stops in the city of Zabludovo, located in the Grodnyansky Povet. He was sheltered by the former military leader Grigory Khodkevich. Having learned about what Fedorov was doing, Khodkevich, as an acting statesman, asked the first printer to help with the opening of a local printing house. The opening of the Zabludovsky printing house took place in the same year.

Having printed several test "books" (each of which had no more than 40 unnumbered pages and no imprint), the employees of the Zabludovskaya printing house, under the leadership of Fedorov, publish their first and, in fact, their only work - the book "The Teacher's Gospel". This happens in 1568-1569.


After that, the publishing house stopped working, because, according to Khodkevich, there were more important things to do. By these words, he meant changes in the civil and political life of the country associated with the signing of the Union of Lublin in 1569, which led to the unification of Lithuania and Poland into a single country - the Commonwealth.

This news did not please Fedorov, so he decided to move to Lvov to open his own printing house there. But even here disappointment awaited him - the local rich were not eager to invest their finances in printing, and Ivan did not find support in the person of the clergy - local priests were adherents of rewriting books by hand.


Nevertheless, Fedorov managed to get some money, and he began to print books, sell them in Lvov, Krakow and Kolomyia, and print new ones with the proceeds. In 1570 Fedorov published the Psalter.

In 1575, Ivan was offered the post of manager of the Derman Holy Trinity Monastery. Fedorov agreed to this position, believing that typography should be left in the past. However, two years later the first printer was busy building a new printing house at the request (and finances) of Prince Konstantin Ostrozhsky.


The book of Ivan Fedorov "Ostrog Bible"

The Ostroh printing house published a number of educational books: "ABC", "Primer" (a supplemented and revised edition of "ABC") and "Greek-Russian Church Slavonic book for reading". In 1581, the edition of the Ostrog Bible was published, which became the third landmark book in Fedorov's biography (the previous two - "Apostle" and "Psalter").

After the publication of the Ostroh Bible, Fedorov handed over the reins of management of the printing house to his eldest son, and he began to travel around Europe on business trips - he shared his experience with foreign colleagues, learned about new discoveries and developments, and presented his projects to high-ranking persons (including the King of Germany Rudolf II). You can get acquainted with examples of Fedorov's works on the Internet - photos of the surviving editions are posted in the public domain.

Personal life

There is also practically no information about Fedorov's personal life. It is known that Ivan was married, and that he had two sons, the eldest of whom also became a book printer (and even received the corresponding nickname Drukar, translated from Ukrainian as “printer”). Fedorov's wife died before her husband's departure from Moscow. There is a theory according to which she died just during the birth of her second son. The baby also did not survive.

Death

Ivan died on December 5, 1583. It happened during another business trip to Europe. Fedorov's body was taken to Lviv, where he was buried in a cemetery located on the territory of the Church of St. Onuphrius.

  • In those years when the first printer lived, the surnames in the current sense have not yet taken root. Therefore, on the imprint of his publications, as well as in individual business papers, Ivan signed differently: Ivan Fedorov ("Apostle", 1564), Ivan Fedorovich Moskvitin ("Psalter", 1570), Ivan, Fedorov's son, from Moscow (“Ostroh Bible”, 1581).
  • In addition to church services and printing, Fedorov made multi-barreled mortars and cast cannons.

  • Ivan Drukar - the son of Fedorov - died three years after the death of his father. This happened under unclear circumstances, but some sin against the same scribe monks (which is unlikely).
  • There is a theory according to which Fedorov is far from the first book printer in Russia - they tried to print before, but the results were much worse, so the typographic craft did not take root from the first run.

Memory

  • In 1909, a monument to Fedorov was erected next to the Printing House building.
  • In 1933, the image of Ivan Fedorov first appeared on a stamp. Reappeared in 1983 and 2010.
  • In 1941, director Grigory Levkoev shot the film "First Printer Ivan Fedorovich".

  • 1977 was the year of the opening of the Ivan Fedorov Museum in Lviv. Later it was damaged by a group of religious fanatics, but the museum staff and volunteer assistants managed to restore the building and most of the exhibits.
  • In 1983, the Mint issued a commemorative coin with Fedorov's profile in memory of the 400th anniversary of his death.
  • In many cities of Russia and Ukraine there are streets named after Ivan Fedorov.
