Abstract
The paper presents the Cyrillic XVII-century manuscript “Vinets Khrystov”, comprising Baroque sermons by the prominent Ukrainian preacher Antonii Radyvylovskyi. Special attention is paid to the decorative elements employed for illuminating and structuring the content of the codex, which serves as the model for the namesake edition published in Kyiv in 1688. The study demonstrates that the embellishments of “Vinets” are an integral part of the manuscript, often correlating with its textual part. Initials, headpieces, and tailpieces, as well as the title composition in “Vinets Khrystov”, can be employed to purely decorate and meaningfully illustrate the monument.
