An episode of the history of the so called library of Ivan the Terrible

The article is dedicated to the studying of the record («given by Tsar») in the manuscript of the XVI century (RNB, Sof. 1285). According to researchers, this manuscript is a gift of Tsar Ivan the Terrible to the library of KirilloBelozersky's monastery. Sapozhnikova shows that this record could be treated differently, and offers to connect on the basis of facts this manuscript's history with one of the persons very close to the Tsar, but subsequently condemned, – Artemij Troickij.
