The aim is to highlight the little-known facts of the biography and the main milestones of the life and work of the Archimandrite of Yelysei Pletenetskyi, the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, his role in the development of Ukrainian culture, science, and enlightenment in the first quarter of the seventeenth century, thereby honouring the memory of the great Lavra enlightener.
The author uses various research methods along the lines of the new social history, as well as comparative historical, problematic chronological, microhistorical, and everyday history.
The scientific novelty lies in the coverage of little-known facts of the archimandrite’s biography and activities, which allow us to speak more specifically about the origin of Yelysei Pletenetskyi and new archival finds that correct or expand the known information.
Conclusions. The figure of the archimandrite of the Kyiv-Pechersk Monastery, Yelysei Pletenetskyi, is one of the most prominent figures in the Ukrainian cultural space of the turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but he has not yet received a separate thorough study. Pletenetskyi’s undoubted merits include the foundation of the institute of preaching, the Lavra intellectual circle, the first school, the establishment of the Lavra printing and papermaking house in Radomyshl, participation in the restoration of the Orthodox hierarchy in 1620, the regulation and improvement of monastic life, and charitable activities.
