Abstract
Паисий Лигарид, митрополит Газы и знаменитый богослов, скончался в Киеве в 1678 г. Местные власти незамедлительно позаботились о том, чтобы сделать опись всего оставшегося после его смерти имущества: книг, рукописей, литургических принадлежностей, облачений и даже некоторых предметов роскоши. По царскому указу принадлежавшие Лигариду вещи должны были отойти Киевскому Братскому монастырю, где владыка провел последние месяцы жизни, для его церковного поминовения. Но почти сразу появился и иной претендент на имущество митрополита — иерусалимский патриарх Досифей II, протестовавший против подобного "расточения" того, что ранее принадлежало одному из находящихся в его юрисдикции архиереев.
Досифей II в своих письмах в Москву и Киев долгое время настаивал на том, чтобы имущество Лигарида было возвращено Иерусалимской церкви. Посланец патриарха, архимандрит Хрисанф, во время своего пребывания в Киеве видел рукописи газского владыки, которые, таким образом, сохранялись там еще в конце XVII в. Однако попытки проследить судьбу митрополичьей библиотеки остаются безуспешными: ее следов так и не удалось обнаружить ни в описях киевских библиотек XVIII в., ни в книжных и рукописных собраниях Иерусалимского патриархата и Подворья Святого Гроба. Особый интерес со времени патриарха Досифея и до сих пор вызывал список неизвестных во времена Лигарида гомилий о нашествии русов на Константинополь в 860 г., но судьбу этого примечательного манускрипта, привезенного митрополитом из Москвы в Киев, выяснить так и не удалось. Подготовленный к изданию текст описи пропавшего имущества и библиотеки Паисия Лигарида из Российского государственного архива древних актов дает новые ценные свидетельства о его несохранившихся рукописях и библиотеке, а также о повседневной жизни греческого архиерея.
Paisios Ligaridis, Metropolitan of Gaza and famous theologian, died in Kyiv in 1678. All his belongings, consisting of books, manuscripts, liturgical implements and vestments, as well as of some luxury objects, were immediately inventoried by the authorities. The Tsar ordered Ligaridis’ properties to be given to fund his posthumous commemoration to the Bratsky monastery in Kyiv, where the hierarch had spent his last days. However, the metropolitan’s inheritance was claimed almost immediately by the Patriarch of Jerusalem Dositheus II, who objected to such a “dispersion” of properties belonging to one of his suffragan metropolitan bishops. For many years Dositheus II strove to retrieve Ligaridis’ belongings and manuscripts, writing to Moscow and to Kyiv, until his representative, Archimandrite Chrysanthe, was shown some of the Metropolitan’s writings while he was visiting Kyiv. The ultimate fate of Ligarides’ library, still conserved in Kyiv at the end of the 17th century, remains unclear: his manuscripts and books left no traces either in the 18th-century inventories of Kyivan libraries, nor in the collections of manuscripts and books of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem and of the Metochion tou Panagiou Taphou. Especially sought-after, from the times of Patriarch Dositheus until now, has been a volume purported to have contained Patriarch Photius’ then unknown homilies on the 860 Rus’ attack against Constantinople. The whereabouts of this rare manuscript which Ligaridis brought from Moscow to Kyiv remains unknown. However, the edition of the inventory of Païsios Ligarides’ disappeared belongings conserved in the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts offers valuable new information on his vanished book and manuscript collection, as well as lifestyle.
