Summary/Abstract: The recent research on the old Romanian book with circulation in Bessarabia gave us the opportunity to confirm the presence of several book titles, printed in different centers in Romanian space and abroad. In the library of the Noul Neamt monastery I identified a book that is not known to the Romanian scientific environment. It is the [Чин о поминовении царской семьи] (Rite of commemoration of the imperial family), printed in Russian in the exarchal printing house from Chisinau, in 1818. The book does not have a title page and the year and place of its printing are at the end. The copy has a damaged cardboard cover. It presents 19 leafs, in quarto (20x16 cm). With black ink, on a column, with 18-20 rows per page. The text is framed by lines. From the old registrations we have established that the copy came to the library of the Noul Neamt Monastery after the resettlement of the monk owner from Condrita to Noul Neamt, or this monk from the Condrita hermitage had settled at the Suruceni monastery (these two monastic settlements being close geographically), and after the closing of the Suruceni monastery during the Soviet regime, some monks, along with a part of the inventory and the library, retired to Noul Neamt.
