Summary/Abstract: When the last nuns from the Old Believers’ monastery in Wojnowo (Eckerdorf) died, there appeared an opportunity to inspect the objects remaining there. Particular attention should be paid to volumes, which are systematically photographed and analyzed by the lecturers from the University of Warmia and Mazury. This article constitutes an attempt to defi ne the place and approximate time of publication 4 volumes. On the basis of the false way of establishing the place of publication and the ornaments used to decorate the volume, the author established that the volume was published in the illegal Grebnev’s printing house in Dziergacze (Dergachi), probably between 1900 and 1905. The article characterizes also another feature identifying this printing house, namely the way of numbering folios and leaves in volumes.
