Germany's only copy of the Skaryna Bible, a translation of the Holy Scripture by 16th-century Belarusian printing pioneer Francishak Skaryna, was put on display in the National Library of Belarus in Minsk on October 4.
National Library experts are expected to make a digital copy of the Skaryna Bible by October 5.
The Bible came out in Prague between 1517 and 1519 in the Old Belarusian language. Its copy has been held in Gorlitz since 1527 and in the Upper Lusatian Library of Sciences in Gorlitz since 2003.
According to the library's director, Matthias Wenzel, the book has recently been exhibited in Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland.
A total of 360 copies of books printed by Francishak Skaryna have been found in the world, said Raman Matulski, director of the National Library, which holds all 10 of Belarus' Skaryna books.
The Skaryna Bible will be displayed in the National Library between October 4 and 13 and in the 16th-18th century Radziwill Castle in Niasvizh, Minsk region, between October 15 and 24.
