With the help of provenances, the history of the library of the Holy Dormition Pochayiv Lavra and the ways of its receipt in the collection of V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine are traced. It is determined that the books purchased by the monastery library in the seventeenth century, contain the following provenances: Z Biblioteki Poczajowskiey, Ex Bibliotheka Monacterii Poczaevski, Monastyra Poczaiowskiego, Ex Bibliotheka Poczajoisiensieis Poiszajoisiensie. When the Pochaiv monastery was owned by the Basilians, additional provenances appeared on books: Ex Archivie Monastery Poczajoviensis OSBM, Biblioteki Poczaiowskiey XX Bazylianov, Bibliothekae Poczajovie Monachov Basilianov. When the monastery became the property of the Orthodox, a large number of Russian-language books appeared in the library with the following provenances: Belongs to the Pochayev Lavra Library. 1854, or a blue stamp Library of the Pochayev Lavra.
