I. Mechnikov National University. The author aims to analyze a relatively small collection of editions of G. S. Skovoroda’s works as well as studies on his philosophical and literary heritage in rare editions of the 19th – 1st third of the 20th century which are stored in the university library. Ownership marks on copies of books make it possible to trace how the interest in the oeuvre of the great philosopher aroused in a particular university in southern Ukraine. Whereas at the beginning of the 19th century the philosopher’s works were published mainly in periodicals, in the second half of the 19th century separate editions of G. S. Skovoroda’s writings appeared, while in the late 19th – early 20th centuries the collected works of the great humanist were published. Ownership marks on copies of publications indicate that the oeuvre of the great Ukrainian wandering philosopher G. S. Skovoroda resonated at different times. The scale of the personality of G. S. Skovoroda was also of great importance for representatives of various strata of the Odessa intelligentsia: free-masons (S. M. Telesnitsky) and Orthodox priests (M. K. Pavlovsky), University professors (I. A. Linnichenko) and members of scientific and bibliophile societies (B. V. Yurkevsky and L. A. Chizhikov respectively) etc. – they all looked for answers to key questions of their time in G. S. Skovoroda’s heritage. Ownership marks on copies of books from the University library illustrate the tragic fate of many Ukrainian authors who studied the oeuvre of the great philosopher. Library stamps on books can help display the Soviet censorship policy in library institutions. The questions raised need additional research which can be based on sufficient materials provided by valuable and diverse stocks of the university library. The article is published in the year of the 300th anniversary of the birth of G. S. Skovoroda.","PeriodicalId":115102,"journal":{"name":"Library Mercury","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125708771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Library book collections are of exceptional importance for the formation of the national cultural heritage of the state. The Book Exchange Fund (hereinafter – BEF) of the Scientific Library of the Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University is a part of its Exchange and Reserve Fund. The department is intended for exchange, redistribution, free transfer of documents to libraries and other institutions. BEFs in libraries acquired a legal status in 1959 when a special resolution of the Soviet government was adopted. The documents began to be redistributed through an Exchange and Reserve Fund, which contributed to the preservation of non-core and duplicate editions in some libraries that could be in demand in other libraries. The mechanism for using documents that are in library exchange funds is defined by The procedure for using documents through exchange library funds. In 1947, a BEF for monographic literature was arranged while a BEF for periodicals was allocated. Nowadays the BEF consists mainly of duplicate editions of the University. These are publications highlighting the history of Odesa National University, the works of the teaching staff of the Humanities and Natural Sciences faculties, as well as publications prepared by the Scientific Library staff. The activities of the Department of Rare books are aimed at researching private collections of the Library. Special attention is paid to the research of Ukrainian books from the stackss of the Scientific Library. Employees of the Information and Bibliographic Department publish bibliographic indexes, both thematic and devoted to personalities. It is worth mentioning that the Scientific library exchanges specialized periodicals with partner libraries. The Library has 17 permanent book exchange partners, namely the higher educational institutions, research institutes, the National V. I. Vernadskyi Library of Ukraine. Since 2020 alone, the Library has received through book exchange 860 copies of books and periodicals and sent to its partner libraries 694 copies of current professional University periodicals. This method of periodicals distribution contributes to the popularization of the academic achievements of scientists of the Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University in the professional community. The content of the BEF is disclosed with the help of a reference apparatus, that is card catalogues and non-annotated bibliographic lists of books and periodicals, posted on the website of the University Library in the section Exchange and Reserve Fund (Book Exchange Fund).

The close connection of the historian with the Оdesa I. I. Mechnikov State University. He was a graduate of the Faculty of History and a graduate student of the Department of Political Science. Historian’s high-profile works, which he published while he was a graduate student at the university, made the university known to as many people as possible as a center of free, innovative thought. The thesis of a scientist for the degree of candidate of political sciences was one of the most successful postgraduate projects of that time from the university. The scientist thought in broad international categories, sought to include domestic historical and political science in international achievements, which is certainly a task for the development of the university now. Scientific activity of O. V. Boldyrev vividly reflected the dynamism of Ukrainian history in the 1990s, the romantic and idealistic desire of the Ukrainian intelligentsia to return Ukraine to the free world after years of totalitarian «non-existence», to revive and enlighten its people and transform them into a nation. Some of the young historians no longer accepted the established conjuncture and rules and tried to reassess them, in particular, regarding established historical myths. The specificity of Odesa was not so much a sharp confrontation between the epigones of communism and nationalism, as between supporters of the «new Russian myth» and supporters of independent Ukraine (however, this did not always mean and still means their affiliation to one of the currents of Ukrainian nationalism as an ideological doctrine). One of the main tools in this process was to become historical education and science. The name O. V. Boldyrev should be included in a kind of canon of outstanding graduates of Odesa I. I.

The relevance of this study is due to the need to study the specifics and development of the functional duties of monastic librarians, which have not been studied before, against the background of the formation and evolution of monastic libraries in the Early middle ages. The purpose of this article is to identify and characterize the features of the activities of librarians of monastic libraries in medieval Europe (mainly Western). The methodology of this scientific work consists in the application of both general scientific research methods (description, comparison, analogy, deduction, induction, analysis, etc.) and historical (historical-comparative, historical-typological, chronological, etc.) methods. Methods of terminological analysis, analysis of dictionary definitions, etymological and word-formation analysis, bibliographic and other research methods were also used. The article explores the main areas and areas of activity of a librarian in Western European monastic libraries, as well as some features of the development of book and library business in monasteries through the prism of the functional duties of a librarian. The content and significance of his professional activities in the dissemination of reading, education, development of book and library business are analyzed. The study made it possible to reveal the peculiarities of the interpretation of the terms that determine the activities of the librarian of Western European monastic libraries in the middle ages, in particular, the term «armarius» in modern book science and library research. The main factors and features of the formation of the meaning of the term «armarius» in the process of becoming a professional activity of monastic librarians are revealed. The scientific novelty of the work lies in expanding the understanding of the professional activities of the librarian of Western European monastic libraries in the period, mainly, the early middle ages and revealing the significance of his activities in the development of not only book and library science, but also the spiritual culture of the middle ages as a whole. The study shows that monastic librarians played an important role in organizing systematic reading among monks – both individual (including for educational purposes, in the form of obedience) and collective – using the method of reading aloud to familiarize themselves with the content of certain (predominantly theological) books. The position is confirmed that for the monastic librarian, a wide education, erudition and knowledge of books was considered an indispensable feature of his professionalism.

On the basis of previously not introduced into scientific circulation historical sources located in the State Archive of the Odesa Region, Princeton University Library and a layer of published sources and scientific literature, many new facts of the biography were discovered and inaccuracies and incorrect data regarding the main events of the scientist’s life were eliminated. Both general scientific (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction) and special historical methods became the main methods of researching the life and intellectual work of H. V. Florovsky. The historical-genetic method made it possible to recreate the creative portrait of the scientist within the chronological framework of the period under study. The historical-comparative method was used to highlight what was new, which the scientist brought to the study of humanitarian fields of knowledge. Chronological, historical-biographical methods, techniques of historiographical and source analysis were also used. The essence and role of the main components of the scientist’s personality, which later determined the success of his professional activity, were revealed.
