This is a collection of articles that explore theological, spiritual and literary heritage of Kyrylo Tranquillion Stavrovetsky (†1646), a distinguished monastic theologian, preacher, writer and publisher. As one of the most prominent representatives of the ecclesiastical and cultural revival in the 17th c. Ukraine, Stavrovetsky made a lasting impact on theology, literature and practical Church life of the epoch. In this volume, scholars from Germany, Poland and Ukraine using interdisciplinary and comparative approach make an attempt to situate this famous ‘preacher of the Word of God’ in the broader context of the early Baroque period and draw his intellectual portrait. Contributors focus their research mainly on such works of Stavrovetsky as _Mirror of Theology_ [Perlo Mnohotsinnoye] (1618), _Didactic Gospel_ [Uchytelnoye Yevanheliye] (1619), and _The Priceless Perl_ [Perlo Mnohotsinnoye] (1646). The articles included in this volume were delivered during the international conference under the same title held at the Ukrainian Catholic University (Lviv) and the Monastery of Univ, April 23-25, 2015.
