This Euchologium of the 16th century is a pocket manuscript. It was very convenient for a priest to bring it with himself. The beginning and the end of the manuscript are absent. The folios are dirty, so one can suppose that the manuscript was in use often. There are a part of vespers, a midnight service and canons. They are the texts that had the most significanse for Old Believers' domestic praying as escapists had not any priests.
Служебник 16-го века представляет собой рукопись карманного формата, которую священнику удобно было носить с собой. Начало и конец рукописи утрачены. Сильно загрязненные листы говорят о частом использовании рукописи. Сохранилась часть вечерни, полунощница и каноны. Это отражает круг богослужебных текстов, наиболее часто использовавшихся для келейной молитвы старообрядцами, у которых не было священников.
