The present article intends to present a historiographical review of recent studies concerning the two first primers in Cyrillic, printed respectively in 1574 and 1578 by Ivan Fedorov (c. 1510-1583) in the context of the edition of the first Russian editions of Holy books in East Slavonic. The two primers, despite the four years that separated them, were very different from the point of view of the content and of the educational models that they proposed. This article is therefore divided into three parts. The first deals with the activity of the printer Ivan Fedorov, who worked in Moscow and moved first to L’vov, then to Zabludov and finally to Ostrog, where he could print thanks to the patronage of the Tsar and local princes. The second and third parts present an analysis and comparison of Fedorov’s two primers which reflect two different educational conceptions, both for an Orthodox education but also, and antithetically, for the educational program taught by the Jesuit Colleges in Poland. Primers were used in the first classes of the Orthodox schools which offered a program based on the liberal arts. The first, published in 1574 in East Slavonic, was to be used in the first class of the L’vov Brotherhood school, while the second, published in 1578 in Greek and East Slavonic, was destined for use in the Ostrog school. The first primers contained some principle of the Orthodox pedagogy presented by the Stoglav (Book of the Hundred chapters) and the Domostroj (Domestic Order); the second one was bilingual and expressed a culture oriented against Latin and which refuted the Unification of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.

Abstract

The present article intends to present a historiographical review of recent studies concerning the two first primers in Cyrillic, printed respectively in 1574 and 1578 by Ivan Fedorov (c. 1510-1583) in the context of the edition of the first Russian editions of Holy books in East Slavonic. The two primers, despite the four years that separated them, were very different from the point of view of the content and of the educational models that they proposed. This article is therefore divided into three parts. The first deals with the activity of the printer Ivan Fedorov, who worked in Moscow and moved first to L’vov, then to Zabludov and finally to Ostrog, where he could print thanks to the patronage of the Tsar and local princes. The second and third parts present an analysis and comparison of Fedorov’s two primers which reflect two different educational conceptions, both for an Orthodox education but also, and antithetically, for the educational program taught by the Jesuit Colleges in Poland. Primers were used in the first classes of the Orthodox schools which offered a program based on the liberal arts. The first, published in 1574 in East Slavonic, was to be used in the first class of the L’vov Brotherhood school, while the second, published in 1578 in Greek and East Slavonic, was destined for use in the Ostrog school. The first primers contained some principle of the Orthodox pedagogy presented by the Stoglav (Book of the Hundred chapters) and the Domostroj (Domestic Order); the second one was bilingual and expressed a culture oriented against Latin and which refuted the Unification of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
