“…Центральное место в фонде семинарской библиотеки должны были занимать книги религиозного и духовного содержания (Benavides, 2000;Yarchin, 2019). Об этом свидетельствует состав 40 преподаваемых в семинарии учебных дисциплин (в разные годы он изменялся, дисциплины добавлялись и исключались).…”

The article is devoted to the library of the Orenburg Theological Seminary, which was lost in 1918. It was based on the books of spiritual and religious content. The purpose of the library reconstruction is to create its approximate catalog at the time of the seminary closure. The article describes only that sections of the catalog that reflect physically preserved books: Holy Scripture, Dogmatic Theology, Homiletics, Pastoral Theology, Moral Theology, Asceticism, Ecumenism, Christian apologetics, Schismatic studies, history of non-Christian religions, history of the Russian Orthodox Church, etc. Only 35 copies have been survived to this day. All of them are monuments of book culture and give an idea of both the representativeness of the lost library itself and the preparation of clergymen for missionary activity in the Orenburg Orthodox Diocese.

The note as a paratextual element has played an important role in Bible translation. This article collects the translational notes from the New Testament in the Chinese Protestant Union Version Bible (CUV) and the Chinese Catholic Sigao Bible (SBV) to uncover the ideological leanings of translators as well as the types and functions of translational notes in these versions. With a quantitative and qualitative analysis of eight selected notes, the article shows that: (1) CUV followed the “without note or comment” principle for unbiased comments and thus employed more linguistic notes, but SBV followed the Catholic tradition in writing exegetical comments; (2) the notes help readers understand the reasons for textual variations and the problem of selectivity in translating; and (3) CUV translators took account of the Chinese literati’s taste, whereas SBV aimed to reach the common people. Further research is needed for a more in-depth interpretation.
