Abstract
The article covers the question of authorship of the book The Salvation Garden (1703) which includes lives of twelve saints of the Solovetsky Monastery. A study of four manuscript copies of this book led to the discovery of the name of its author, and his life story is presented in the article. He was the monk Job, a student of the Leichoudis brothers, the founders of the Slavic Greek Latin Academy in Moscow. In the late 1690s, he was a hierodeacon at the Chudov Monastery and a professor at the Slavic Greek Latin Academy. In 1701, he was exiled to Solovki “for his disobedience and stubbornness and sedition”. There he compiled the book The Salvation Garden and wrote a preface to it. The book became the literary basis for the entire Solovki hagiography of the later period
