This is the first compendium of musical instruments and instrumental terminology in the Bible. Originally published in Russian in 2003, it was awarded both the laureate diploma as 'the event of the year', in the first national competition of Orthodox books in Russia, and the prestigious gold medal of the Orthodox St. Makarius Foundation. This edition makes this innovative reference book available to English-speaking readers for the first time.
