Summary/Abstract: Saint Paisius's Velicikovski autobiography is of rare value and a unique historical source for the monastic and spiritual life of Ukraine and Moldova in the first half of the 18th century. Velichkovsky was not an original writer, he was a teacher and spiritual guide, author of books. The written texts refer to the spiritual life, to the teachings for monks, which he finds in the patristic texts, those that were translated by Paisius from Greek into Slavonic. However, his autobiography, a completely original text, proves his narrative capacity and captures the reader's interest, being a text of spontaneous expression, characterized by deep sincerity, which increases the author's reputation.
