Abstract

The main objective of this article is to study the problem of presenting a unique cultural monument of Ukraine - the Peresopnytsia Gospel of 1556 - in a course of lectures on the history of Ukrainian culture for students majoring in Cultural Studies at Mariupol State University. The author focuses on those components of the history of the creation, use, and preservation of this unique monument of national cultural heritage that found their place in the course of lectures, which should form a sense of respect and reverence for national relics in future students majoring in cultural studies. The appearance of the Peresopnytsia Gospel coincides with the development of Renaissance culture on the Ukrainian territory, but with special national characteristics. Thanks to this, the teachers of the department have a great opportunity to comprehensively illustrate to students a certain era in the history of Ukrainian culture on its example, in particular, the development of theological thought and literature, book business, art, book miniatures. After the declaration of Ukraine's independence, the Peresopnytsia Gospel rightfully acquired the status of a national-state and political symbol - during the inauguration, the presidents of Ukraine swear on the manuscript, promising to be faithful not only to the Ukrainian people, but also to God. This issue is of particular importance in the dramatic present of Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, when, on the example of the Peresopnytsia Gospel, national cultural heritage is an important factor in the patriotic education of student youth. Key words: Peresopnytsia Gospel, history of Ukrainian culture, course of lectures, national cultural heritage, patriotic education.
