Piśmiennictwo protestanckie w księgozbiorach bazyliańskich eparchii lwowskiej w XVIII wieku
Protestant writings in the Basilian book collections of the Lviv eparchy in the 18th century

Summary/Abstract: This article investigates the problem of spreading of the Protestant ideas in the Basilian monasteries of the Lviv eparchy in the 18th century. How did Reformation reach the Uniate monasteries of the early modern Ukraine? If so, how was it represented? These questions are examining in the paper. It has been studied above 100 book lists of the 30 monasteries from archives mostly in Lviv. Consequently, research found the works of 14 protestants, authors mainly of the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century. Treatises of the protestants were preserved in four monastery libraries, and also in at least four private Basilian book collections. Research states that Basilians in the Lviv eparchy didn’t know so much about Protestants, at least based on research on the book collections. It looks like that it was on the margins of Basilian intellectual interests. But it is obvious that such study perspective does not allow to fully show the reception of the Protestant tradition.
