Along with facsimile revival; a number of articles were published. They were dedicated to research of original manuscript (Marcello Garzaniti, Carlo Verdiani, Vadim Krys'ko, Catherine Mary Mc Robert), historical figures that influenced its appearance “The Place of Psalter in Life and Culture” (Archimandrite Ambrose (Makar), NatalIya Rudenko).
