Synopsis Literary texts (epics, sermons, hagiography, apocrypha,
patericons, chronicles) are studied in the original and in parallel translation
into modern Ukrainian or Russian, depending on the student's disciplinary
background. Texts are examined in the context of medieval East Slavic religious
and courtly culture, with special reference to the visual arts (icon, mosaic,
architecture), and in the context of social and political change from the tenth
to the fourteenth centuries.
