To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


483 Though the Princess Olga was baptized in 964, the general pro- fession of Christianity in Russia did not take place till the reign of Vladimir (981-1015). He built the wooden cathedral at Cherson, which has perished. At Kieff the same monarch built the church of Desiatinna, the remains of which existed till within the last few years, when they were re- moved to give place to a modern abomination.
He also built that of St. Basil in the same city, which, notwithstanding modern ^^^pi'^^'^'^i^o
...ts, fl^- Church of st.Ba8ii, still retains its ancient plan, and is nearly iden- tical in arrangement and form with the Cathol- icon at Athens (Woodcut No. 905.) The plan (Woodcut No. 938) gives a fair idea of the usual dimensions of the older churches of Russia. The parts shaded lighter are subsequent additions.
A greater builder than Vladimir was Prince Yaroslaf (1019-1054). He founded the church of St. Irene at KiefE (Woodcut No. 939), the ruins of which still exist. It is a good specimen of the smaller class of churches of that date.
