Russian scribes compile the so-called Izbornik Sviatoslava in 1076 at the request of Sviatoslav II.
One of the oldest relics of the Old East Slavic language, the book is a compilation of articles on grammar, logic, poetics, church matters, sermons, riddles, and parables.
One of the miniatures represents Sviatoslav himself, standing with his second wife Oda and sons.
