The 2nd leaf ca me from an Old Church Slavonic printed Book of Psalms , dated to the late 17th cent ury or early 18th century. An d we know exactly which Psalm is being printed. Size is about 6 in. x 7 1/4 in. The 3rd Old Church Slavonic printed leaf was printed in the early or mid-18th century. This leaf is about 4 in. x 6 1/2 in. On these three printed leaves, there are many instances of the NOMINA SACRA or "Sacred Names." The AKATHIST blue-c olored leaf sheet has the following: two (2) instances of "God"; one (1) instance of "Hallelujah" or "Alleluia"; and one (1) instance of the long phrase "Our Lord Jesus Christ"; also, two (2) instances of "Seraphim."
