Records on books of old Cyrillic printed publications as mass data on literacy and faith education (in the context of the polemic of I.V. Pozdeeva and N.P. Kiselyov)

The article is devoted to the problem of typology of old Cyrillic printed publications and the use of their individual types in the pedagogical process in the XVII – XVIII centuries. Due to the multifunctionality of old printed books, which is a consequence of medieval syncretism, only the nature of the notes left on them by generations of owners, readers, contributors, etc. can show for what purposes certain publications were used. These problems are considered in the context of the controversy between I.V. Pozdeeva and N.P. Kiselyov about the significance of books published in the 17th century. in Russia, for Russian culture in general and for education in particular.
