The Slavonic Manuscript Heritage of the Zograf Monastery on Mount Athos ‒ Past and Present

The Zograf Monastery on Mount Athos, Greece, houses a vast and historically significant Slavonic manuscript heritage that has largely remained uncatalogued and understudied for nearly two centuries. Recent research reveals the library's repertoire is far more extensive than previously believed, encompassing thousands of handwritten books and documents spanning ten centuries. The study outlines efforts to catalog these manuscripts, which have faced challenges due to accessibility constraints, and details a decade-long digitalization process aimed at making this heritage accessible to scholars. This work highlights the need for comprehensive cataloguing and digital preservation to unlock the full potential of Zograf's literary treasures.
