Petro Jacyk Education Foundation
has been instrumental in the funding and initiation of several
publications.
English-language translation of M. Hrushevsky’s
10 volumes in 12 books History of Ukraine-Rus’
is a fundamental historical work which presents a comprehensive
and well-documented synthesis of Ukrainian history from the
earliest times to the mid 17th century. Commenting on
the book’s importance, Christian Science Monitor wrote:
“…there is nothing [in this field] in English or in any other
language, for that matter, comparable in authority and solidity
with [Hrushevsky’s] work…,” and a reviewer of this project on
behalf of the National Endowment for the Humanities declared: “
…the translation of Hrushevsky’s master works would fill a great
gap in the […] scholarship not only in Ukrainian history, but
also in Russian, Polish and Jewish history.” |

Iaroslav Isaievych - Voluntary
Brotherhood: Confraternities of Laymen in Early Modern
Ukraine
The study of the confraternity
movement in early modern Ukraine is vital for our
understanding of the unique place Ukrainian culture and
society have occupied between Eastern and Western
Christianity. The Eastern-rite confraternities
contributed to an increase in the pace of Ruthenian
socio-cultural growth. The schools and presses attached
to the confraternities disseminated European humanist
ideas and promoted the development of scholarship and
literature. |
