Abstract

Scholarly research into Francysk Skaryna’s legacy has been initiated by J.V. Bacmejster in 1776 and V.S. Sopikow in 1813. Further research conducted in the 20th century by Alexander Bilecki, Pavel Popov, Yaroslav Isayevich, U. Anichenko and contemporary studies of Halyna Kovalchuk, Alexandr Nauvov, Mariola Walczak-Mikolajczak and others, demonstrate how important were Skaryna’s activities on the border of two great traditions. In this context, the problem of “Skaryna and Ukraine” is worth analyzing in all its contexts: biographical, publishing, polygraphic, academic, and bibliographical. Ukrainian episode in Skaryna’s life and his birth town of Połock is related to the cult of Saint Euphrosyne of Połock, who established the first female monastery and is considered a patron of female monasticism of Rus.
