The Chronicle of the Seraphim-Diveevo Monastery

The feature of this edition is that the text is presented in modern spelling, and we hope that this will make the book more accessible to a wide range of readers. Minor editorial additions are highlighted in square brackets - [...]. At the end of the book, there are several fragments of the author's text that were shortened by the censor at the time. References to these fragments in the text of the 'Chronicles' are marked with numbers in square brackets. Illustrations are printed as a separate insert on coated paper for the convenience of readers. These include not only images from the 1903 edition of the 'Chronicles' but also other engravings, photographs, lithographs, and paintings that complement the history of the Holy Trinity Seraphim-Diveevo Monastery and the life of St. Seraphim.
