This volume reconstructs the educational activities of the spiritual fathers and heretofore unknown teachers of that monastery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on extensive archival research, published records, and scholarship from a range of fields, Robert Romanchuk demonstrates how different habits of reading and interpretation at the monastery answered to different social priorities. He argues that 'spiritual' and 'worldly' studies were bound to the monastery's two main forms of social organization, semi-hermitic and communal. Further, Romanchuk contextualizes such innovative phenomena as the editing work of the monk Efrosin and the monastery's strikingly sophisticated library catalogue against the development of learning at Kirillov itself in the fifteenth century, moving the discussion of medieval Russian book culture in a new direction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first micro-historical 'ethnology of reading' in the Early Slavic field, \u003cem\u003eByzantine Hermeneutics and Pedagogy in the Russian North\u003c\/em\u003e will prove fascinating to western medievalists, Byzantinists, Slavists, and book historians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52545900675352,"sku":"9780802090638","price":67.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/byzantine-hermeneutics-and-pedagogy-in-the-russian-north-monks-and-masters-at-the-kirillo-belozerskii-monastery-1397-1501-hardback-9780802090638","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
