Abstract

Apostle (Acts and Epistles of the Apostles) and Primer are the earliest books printed on the territory of the present-day Ukraine, for which copies have been preserved to this day.

Both publications saw the light in the same year – 1574, in the same city – Lviv, in the same printing house – Ivan Fedorov’s printing shop. This makes it difficult to choose the winner of the title “the first book printed in Ukraine”.
