Синодальная рукопись в руках Ивана Грозного
The Manuscript Moscow GIM Sin. 383 in the Hands of Ivan the Terrible

Summary/Abstract: This article describes the fascinating story of the Moscow GIM Sin 383 manuscript, which contains the Slavic translation of the anti-Latin writings of Gregory Palamas and Nilos Kabasilas. Originally composed between 1375–1390 at the Monastery of Chilandar on Mount Athos, it remained there throughout the fifteenth century. In 1558–1959, the manuscript was sent from Constantinople to Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible, who used it in a controversy with Anthony Possevino in 1582. The manuscript gave rise to a widespread number of written works in Russia; indeed fourteen Russian manuscripts were produced between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, bringing fame to Palamas as the champion of anti-Latin teaching.
