The history of educational institutions that operated on the Right Bank of Ukraine in the 18th century is almost unexplored. In part, this can be explained by the lack of sources that could shed light on this aspect of Ukraine’s history. Considering this, the list of students and teachers of the Zhytomyr Academy, which is included in the register of the Roman Catholic population of the Kyiv Voivodeship, is unique. The source provides a list of students and teachers of the local educational institution by name and their ages. The vast majority of students came from noble backgrounds. Many of them belonged to noble families that settled in the Kyiv region and neighboring voivodeships in previous centuries.The list of students and professors of the Zhytomyr Academy is published with the preservation of the original format (table), the spelling is presented without changes, and the language of the source has not been modernized.

To this day the biography of young man Hryhorii Skovoroda is mostly a set of assumptions and conjectures than history about his life based on more or less authentic facts. Even the year of the philosopher’s birth is not as obvious as it is commonly supposed. Excessive trust in the specific work of Mykhailo Kovalynskyi about Skovoroda attempts to adjust those up to thinker’s time sources to much later information of Kovalynskyi’s work harm the critical study of Hryhoriy Savych’s biography. In this article on the basis of both well-known and new facts the established historiographical statements about the time of Skovoroda’s birth and education are revised or questioned. He could not start his studies at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy before 1738/39 and completed them, most likely, no later than January 1750. It seems the gap in Hryhorii’s studying because of his singing in the court chapel lasted longer than scholars assumed before.

The Ruthenian Orthodox art in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the sixteenth century opened itself to the influences of Western European culture. The article is devoted to а description and analysis of this phenomenon. Although for most of the seventeenth century no work emerged that was pure enough in terms of its style that it could be termed а fully Renaissance work, this fact does not mean that there wasn’t any Renaissance at all. Here the Renaissance was not а style, an epoch, or а period, but а process that unfolded over two centuries, without а strictly defined beginning and end.

There is no specific study about Stephan Kalynovskyi, and the texts written about him contain many mistakes. This article presents the biography of Kalynovskyi, including the following stages of his life: student and professor at the Kyiv Academy, archimandrite of the Zaikonospassky Monastery, rector and professor at the Moscow Academy, archimandrite of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra, member of the Synod, bishop of Pskov, archbishop of Novgorod. In this article, attention is paid to his relations with students and brethren of monasteries, as well as to his intellectual heritage (philosophical course, Bible translation, his library). The sources portray Kalynovskyi as an innovative teacher because he was one of the first at the Kyiv Academy to teach Greek language, history in the course of rhetoric and ethics in the course of philosophy, and also as an organizer of educational institutions. At the same time, he was a very conflict person. His philosophical course, taught at the Kyiv Academy, was copied verbatim from the philosophical course of the French author Franciscus le Rées.
没有专门的研究Stephan Kalynovskyi,关于他的文章也有很多错误。本文介绍了Kalynovskyi的传记,包括他人生的以下阶段:基辅学院的学生和教授,Zaikonospassky修道院的大主教,莫斯科学院的院长和教授,亚历山大·涅夫斯基·拉夫拉的大主教,主教会议成员,普斯科夫主教,诺夫哥罗德大主教。在这篇文章中,我们关注的是他与学生和修道院弟兄的关系,以及他的知识遗产(哲学课程,圣经翻译,他的图书馆)。消息来源将Kalynovskyi描述为一位创新的教师,因为他是基辅学院第一批教授希腊语、修辞学课程中的历史和哲学课程中的伦理学的教师之一,也是教育机构的组织者。与此同时,他是一个非常矛盾的人。他在基辅学院教授的哲学课程一字不差地照搬了法国作家Franciscus le r的哲学课程。

The church history of the Russian-Ukrainian border is a significant area for research, in particular in the issue of the meeting of the Moscow Orthodox Church, which was intensively reformed, and the church structure of numerous immigrants to Slobodа Ukraine from the Kyiv Metropolis («Cherkasy» (Ukrainians)). The main ecclesiastical administrative formation in Sloboda Ukraine was the Bilgorod diocese, ruled by metropolitans in 1667–1721. In this case, the important features of the border are the presence of non-Moscow printing books and the emergence of schools.Already the first Bilgorod Metropolitan Theodosius brought 150 liturgical books to the center of the diocese from Moscow. But according to later data, Moscow books did not dominate in this space: a significant part of the books was from Kyiv, Lviv, and even Ostroh printing houses. The register of books of the Kuryazh monastery, published before the beginning of the 18th century, and other available registers testify to the coexistence of books of various printings in monastery book collections and churches.The «school tradition» of the establishment of schools at churches, similar to the Kyiv Metropolitanate, was also characteristic. The Bilgorod metropolitans did not bring their teachers from Moscow and apparently did not control the «cherkasy schools». These examples once again emphasize the heterogeneity of the borderline and the multiplicity of identities.

As it is broadly known, the history of the Church began to be one of the most potent elements in Early-modern controversial literature. Ruthenian polemical writings were not an exception; both Uniate and Orthodox authors broadly used facts of Church history considering themselves as the continuators of the Kyivan Christianity. Understanding historical narrative as a logically consistent sequence of events with implicit causal relations, this article presents the analysis of the appearance and transformation of two important historical narrations: on a Great Schism and on the Unity of Florence. Both historical narratives were written with polemical purposes and are closely connected with each other. Playing with names, dates, and sources, Ruthenian early-modern intellectuals in more or less skillful ways tried to give a historical overview of the relations between Rus, Constantinople, and Rome.The medieval Byzantine and Slavic polemical traditions were not reliable anymore. A different attitude to historiographical authorities provoked the shift of the hierarchy of the quoted sources. Ruthenian tradition, represented by the hagiographical texts and Russian Chronograph, is mostly quoted by the Uniate authors, not by orthodox ones. For them it is the most important historical proof that their own historical choice — the Union with Rome — does not contradict but continues the faith of their fathers: Kyiv metropolitans of the pre-Mongolian era.

The Library of the Jesuit college in Lviv is known as the biggest and best-equipped library in the city. It was founded at the beginning of the 17th century, and after one hundred years, there were approximately 12,000 books. But there was a huge loss of books after a great fire in 1734. After that Jesuits restored their book collection. Historiography says that there were approximately 10,000 books in the library at the time of the dissolution of the Society of Jesus. Unfortunately, it is impossible to verify the information about 10,000 books because historians still cannot find an old catalogue of the library. In the article, the author analyzes manuscript III 12719 from the National Library in Warsaw. The author proves that this manuscript is the catalogue of the library of the Jesuit college in Lviv. This catalogue was created in 1774, after the dissolution of the Jesuits. Its author was a former Jesuit monk, Stanisław Chmielowski, who was assigned by Austrian authority to create catalogues of the libraries of the abolished Jesuit colleges. According to this catalogue, the Jesuit library consisted not of 10,000 books but of 5,000. It corresponds to the information from Ludwik Grzebień, the author of the best known research about the Jesuit libraries in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. After 1713, the Jesuit library in Lviv was still functioning. Due to the order of Vienna’s authority, the Jesuit library was turned into a public library. It was the first public library in the city. At the same time, the library arranged an educational process in schools in the city. As stated by inscriptions in the catalogue, teachers, clergy, and civil servants were the readers of the library. In 1784, the former Jesuit library became a part of the Lviv University Library.
