Summary/Abstract: The article examines the early printed panegyric Philosophia Aristotelica by Mykhail Kozachynsky (1745) and the engraved portraits of the Ukrainian hetman Kyrylo Rozumovsky by Johann Christian Gottfried Fritzsch (1750) and Georg Friedrich Schmidt (1762). These items belong to the collection of books and memorabilia owned by the Razumovsky noble family, specifically their Razumovskiana. The narrative and visual sources are treated through the prism of their commemorative significance and relevance for studying the early modern history of Ukraine.
