Ratsin sought to provide the same chant collection for cantors as the Bokshai 1906 collection with some supplements. At the time in the USA the Bokshai volume was difficult to obtain. The book is in Cyrillic Church Slavonic but uses a typescript face from a typewriter instead of real typesetting.<\/p>\n
