Abstract

This article considers the textual history of one of the most famous miracles in Russian hagiography – the resurrection of the youth Gregory by Varlaam of Khutyn in 1460, which is known in scholarly works as “The Miracle of Tumgan” or “The Story of the Miracle of 1460”. The study involves three texts that are found in fifteenth-century manuscript miscellanies: the literary “Story of the Miracle”, the record of this miracle in the Chronicle of Avraamka, and “The Newest Miracle about the Deceased Youth” in the second redaction of Pachomius’s Life of Varlaam of Khutyn. The “Story of the Miracle”, which contains a large visionary segment, is commented and analyzed in the context of the genre of visions.
