Abstract
The purpose of this article is to identify and describe current problems of study of the notated Octoechos of the 17th century, particularly those that are related to the reform of printing in the mid-17th century. The use of the Octoechos notated in the 17th century is fully incorporated in the context of the whole period of development of this book, beginning from its use as a separate collection since the end of the 15th century. In order to solve the main problems, the article formulates the following directions of the study: search for and systematisation of all preserved copies of the Octoechos notated in the 17th century; establishing the typology and compiling, as far as it is possible, a comprehensive catalogue and manual with a scientifi c description of the manuscripts; the study of technical aspects in the process of emendation of singing with this book as an example. An important direction in the range of the formulated tasks is the identifi cation and understanding with the Octoechos of the 17th century as an example of the system of the Russian Octoechos and the study of the role of patterns of singing in chanting hymns. The article shows the features of writing down and structuring chants from the book in question. In order to illustrate the process of the reform of singing in the mid- 17th century, the article uses examples from notated MSs.
