The Koren Picture-Bible is a printed part-bible including a series of 36 woodcuts with hand-colouring illustrating the books of Genesis and Revelation. It is the outstanding example of Russian woodcut artistry in the 17th century and of the "Koren-style" woodcut, which is characteristic of the best of the Russian religious and secular popular prints or lubok (pl. lubki) in the first half of the 18th century. The Koren Bible may be considered an example of the (misnamed) Biblia Pauperum. Twenty blocks illustrate the Creation and the Life of Adam and Eve, while sixteen illustrate Revelation. It may originally have consisted of forty woodcuts, intended, as was Piscator's Picture-Bible, to provide material for personal devotions during the forty days of Lent.
