Section: History of Book Collections and Gatherings

Abstract: The article covers the factual material about the hagiographical literature in the libraries of 11 roman-catholic friaries on the territory of Lutsk/Lutsk-Zhytomyr diecese in the XVII–XIX centuries: Berestia, Kremenets, Lutsk and Ostroh Jesuit Colleges, Berdychiv and Vyshnivets friaries of barefooted Carmelites, Berestechko, Lutsk and Teofipol Trinitarian friaries, Dederkaly and Kremenets friaries of Franciscan reformats. It rests upon the original sources: old-printed books from the named libraries, manuscript catalogues of the Berdychiv Carmelites’ library and the Volyn orthodox ecclesiastical seminary’s library, the manuscript inventory of the Lutsk Jesuit College. The general survey of the editions about the lives of the saints, ascetics and clergy men of the Christian Church from the libraries’ fonds has been done. This literature played an important role in the formation of the spirituality of monastic communities and was used for individual reading, divine service, sermons preparation, in iconography and painting. The information about hagiographical editions is accompanied by historical and bibliographical commentaries

Keywords: monastic libraries, historical library science, hagiographical literature, Lutsk-Zhytomyr diecese
