OLD-RUSSIAN BIBLE COMMENTARY
Palea (, , "ancient, dilapidated"; the name comes from the Greek naming of the Old Testament - παλαιὰ Διαθήκη) is a monument or several interconnected monuments of the Old Russian literature, setting out the Old Testament history with additions from apocryphal monuments and some ancient Christian works, as well as with theological reasoning. A number of researchers consider palea as a monument of Byzantine origin, others consider it an ancient Russian work, since its Greek original is unknown.
