This book by the distinguished 19th-century scholar and public figure Count Alexei Sergeevich Uvarov (1825-1884) is the first part of a comprehensive, but unfinished, study of symbolism, on which the author worked for over 30 years. It was published only in 1908 thanks to the efforts of Countess Praskovya Sergeevna Uvarova (1840-1924) and the editors who worked with his archives—Dmitry Vlasyevich Aynalov (1862-1939) and Yegor Kuzmich Redin (1863-1908).

A. S. Uvarov explores the meaning of early Christian inscriptions and images, some of which are reproduced in the book. Much attention is devoted to the symbolism of the Christian sacraments. The findings of Western European researchers of the 17th-19th centuries are critically examined.

Unlike popular reference works on symbolism, the author draws on written and archaeological sources, citing and commenting on the texts cited there, making his work a unique resource for historians, art historians, restorers, icon painters, and anyone interested in the history of Christianity. This reprint is supplemented with translations from ancient and modern European languages and a bibliography.
