Summary[edit]
DescriptionLibrary of the Old Believer Community, Latvia (10981916243).jpg |
English: Library of the Old Believer community in Latvia. No. 1277. This was a religious library, specifically for a particular sect of Russian Orthodoxy. The “old believers” are an extremely conservative sect of Eastern orthodoxy that separated from the church in 1666 after reforms were initiated by the clergy. “Old believers” perform the liturgical rites as they were conducted prior to the 1666 reforms, and they were persecuted to varying degrees by the czars until Czar Nicholas II signed an act of religious tolerance in 1905. The orthography on the stamp is consistent with the language used before the post-revolution reform. This book stamp is from a book looted by the Nazis and sorted by Colonel Seymour Pomrenze, one of “the Monuments Men,” at the Offenbach Archival Depot. |
