37. Pamva Berynda (1570's-1632)
Leksikon slavenorosskii
(A Slavonic-Ruthenian Lexicon)
Reprint of the 1627 Kyiv edition with a new introduction by Hieromonk Ioil' Trutsevych of Kuteino Monastery. Berynda's Lexicon was intended to provide literary Ruthenian equivalents for nearly 7000 Church Slavonic words and foreign terms as part of the effort to bolster the literary position of Church Slavonic in the face of strong Polish influence. It remains an invaluable resource for seventeenth-century Ruthenian lexicology.
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Papushkevich, Mr. and Mrs. Mykola Petrasz, Mr. and Mrs. Mykola Taraban, and the Ukrainian Studies Fund, November-December 1975. From the Library of Sergei Diaghilev and Sergei Lifar.
