Item description from seller

St. Petersburg, no publisher (Russian Orthodox Church), 1820, 1204 pag., printed in two columns, contemporary full leather binding with blindstamped supralibros of the Russian Orthodox Church on frontcover and blindtooled floral border along edges, quarto (29,5 x 24 cm.). = Rare Russian Orthodox Bible with an interesting provenance: A richly ornamented gouache is mounted to upper pastedown, with calligraphed presentation, dated Paris, December 1937, to A.E.D. von Saher, Paris, who was at the time Honorary Consul-General of Bulgaria in Amsterdam as a thank you for having assisted and helped in the building or construction of the Russian Orthodox Church in The Hague, The Netherlands. signed by The Head of the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia, Metropolitan Eulogious of Paris. He was an Orthodox Christian bishop, who led elements of the Russian Orthodox diaspora in Western Europe from 1921 until his death. From 1931 he was head of the Patriarchal Exarchate for Orthodox Parishes of Russian Tradition in Western Europe. He was at various times archbishop and metropolitan bishop of the Moscow Patriarchate, the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia and the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Mr. August Eduard Dimitri (Edward) von Saher (Haarlem 1890 - Bilthoven 1973) was a Dutch jurist. He was the second husband of Dési von Halban, the widow of Jacques Goudstikker. Von Saher was a well-known lawyer in The Netherlands before World War II.

Mr. von Saher enabled this religious community to erect a new chapel in The Hsague, where the remains of Anna Pavlova's church, including the old altar, the icons, etc. were reassembled. At the consecration of this chapel in the Czar Peter's House in Zaandam - the only piece of soil in the world which still belongs exclusively to the House of Roamnoff and is, therefore, considered by the Belarussians as a sacred place. The head of the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia, Metropolite Eulogious of Paris, presented Mr. Von Saher with the old Bible which Her Majesty Anna Pavlova had used herself. Upper blank section of title-page renewed (height ca. 5 cm.). Lacking 1 leaf after the divisional title, but appears to be textually complete (pages 951-952). Skilfully recased with use of old binding.…
