The collection has rare liturgical manuscripts (Paterik, Časoslov, Trebnik, Kondakar/Akathist, Triod, Miney, Osmoglasnik, Sbornik, Psaltir, Četvoroevangelie, and Liturgiya*) from little villages of Macedonia and Serbia—not far from Ohrid, where Cyril and Methodius' translation project since their missions (863) was continued in 886 by their student Kliment, when he founded the school of Ohrid. It included the Old Slavonic translation of the Greek books created by the reformers of the Studiu-Monastery. The manuscripts of the collection in Skopje were written between 13th and 18th centuries.
See the description of the manuscript department:

and its digital library:

The pdfs were officially stored under open access conditions in collaboration with the Macedonian Wikimedia:

I will post soon a typological list of the manuscripts at the Byzantine Group.
