Summary
- The hagiographical work presented here recounts the life of Makarii (born Mikhail Yakovlevich Glukharev, 1792-1847), a noted linguist and scholar who founded the Altay (or Altai) Spiritual Mission in Siberia in 1830. The work was issued in 1905 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the mission. Makarii taught at several seminaries in European Russia before asking to be sent as a missionary to Siberia. He believed that missionaries would have more success if they had a new Russian translation of the Bible. He therefore asked the Holy Synod in Saint Petersburg for permission to translate the Bible from Hebrew and Greek into Russian, but his request was turned down. He nevertheless produced a translation of the Old Testament, which was published after his death. Markarii left Altay in 1843 and spent the last years of his life as archimandrite of the monastery at Bolkhov. This book is preserved in the collections of the National Library of Russia in Saint Petersburg. It was digitized for the Meeting of Frontiers digital library project in the early 2000s World Digital Library.
