Menaion is an Orthodox liturgical book with church divine services to Saints arranged according to days of liturgical year. This manuscript belongs to Old Russian tradition. It was written in the 16th century but then it was kept and used by Old believers. This fragment of Menaion contains two divine services on November: the service to martyr Achaicus (ff. 1r-12v, the beginning of the text is absent); and the service to apostle Andrew First-Called (ff. 12v-17v, the end of the text is absent).
