Songs by Father Kornel Sroczyński, Hegumen of the Basilian Monastery in Krystynopol, in the recently discovered print Chwała Boga Cudownego w Świętym Onufrym [The glory of God the Miracle Worker in Saint Onuphrius] (Lviv 1773)

Summary/Abstract: The Provincial Archive of the Bernardine Order in Cracow is in possession of a unique copy of a print published in one thousand copies, titled Chwała Boga Cudownego w Świętym Onufrym [The glory of God the Miracle Worker in Saint Onuphrius] (Lviv 1773). The edition was prepared by the Basilian monk and missionary Father Kornel Sroczyński (1731–90), Hegumen of Krystynopol (now Chervonohrad), and published by the Franciscans of Lviv with a dedication to Stanisław Szczęsny Potocki (1752–1805). The volume was published to add splendour to the introduction of the Brotherhood of Saint Onuphrius into the Basilian Orthodox church in Krystynopol. It contains sources of sacred songs with texts that have never been studied to date. In the subject literature, which begins with the writings of Fr Roman Łukań (1907–43), a historian of the Order of Saint Basil the Great, the print is referred to as ‘a little book on Saint Onuphrius’. Thanks to the discovery of a copy of Chwała Boga Cudownego w Świętym Onufrym by the author of this article, we can state that the volume contains the sources of the poetic texts (without music) of seven sacred songs: five of them were published in Polish.
