OSTROG , a town of
Russia
 , in the government of
Volhynia
 , 95 M. W. of Zhitomir, at the confluence of the Vilya with the Goryn. Pop. (1897) 14,530. It is an episcopal see of the Orthodox Greek
Church
 , and in the 16th
century
  had a classical
academy
 , converted later into a Jesuit college. Here was made and printed in 1581 the first
translation
  of the Bible into old Slay. In the town is a brotherhood of Cyril and Methodius, which maintains schools of its own. The tanning of light
leather
  is an active domestic
trade
 ; other
