Flowery Triodion (Old Church Slavonic: Triod' cvetnaja) is the one of the earliest surviving example of a work in Old Church Slavonic printed in Cyrillic script.[1]
The book was published in Kraków by Schweipolt Fiol some time prior to 1491.[1] It contains prayers and the rite for the season of Easter in the Orthodox Church.[1] After World War II it was moved to the National Library of Poland.[1] This copy was kept in the Library of the Greek Catholic Chapter in Przemyśl.[1] It is decorated with 62 woodcuts of southern Slav initials with teratological motifs.[2] Triod’ cvetnaja has 366 leaves, measuring 31.5x21.5 cm, each having a 30-line column.[3]
Only 33 copies of this edition have survived, excluding fragments.[1] One of them from May 2024 is presented at a permanent exhibition in the Palace of the Commonwealth.[4][5]
