"Polata knigopisnaja: An informational bulletin devoted to the study of early Slavic books, texts and literatures" was founded originally by William R. Veder (University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands) and Mario Capaldo (University of Rome, Italy) in 1978. They have generously made all past and future issues accessible freely via the internet through the Hilandar Research Library and The Ohio State University Libraries (Columbus, Ohio).

"Polata knigopisnaja" was originally published in thirty-two volumes, the numbering of which is indicated with Cyrillic characters. Subsequent volumes will be published only in electronic format. All of the volumes will be available electronically.

All issues are the intellectual property of the Board of Editors of "Polata knigopisnaja," which is solely responsible for the content. Questions regarding the content should be directed to the Curator of the Hilandar Research Library and Director of the Resource Center for Medieval Slavic Studies at The Ohio State University, M.A. Johnson (johnson.60@osu.edu), who will forward them as appropriate to the Board.
