This edition presents a selection of 15 sermons by Stefan Javorsâkyj (1658â1722), a Ukrainian poet and preacher of the late 17th century. His imagination, knowledge, and rhetorical skills made him one of the leading European writers of his time. For political reasons, his sermons remained in manuscript for over 300 years. The editors have painstakingly transcribed the Ukrainian texts and annotated them in English. The edition makes Javorsâkyjâs works available to scholars who wish to broaden their knowledge of an unknown part of early modern European literature.
