Зографският йеромонах Мелетий Македонски (краят на XVI в. - 1640-те)

Резюме

Although Meletiy from Zograf is almost unknown to the Bulgarian national historiography, he was a historical personality that left a remarkable trace in the cultural history of the Danubian Principalities. Originating from the historical region of Macedonia, Meletiy became initially a monk at the Athonite monastery of Zograf, while later in the 1620s he worked at the printing house of the Kievo-Pecherskaya Lavra - the largest and most important Orthodox cultural center in Eastern Europe during the first half of the 17th century. In 1624 his name appeared in the historical sources in relation to the secret diplomatic negotiations between the Kievan archbishop Iov Boretskiy (1620-1631) and the government in Moscow concerning the possible political alliance between the Russian Tsardom and the Zaporozhian Cossacks. In the 1630s Meletiy was the chief organizer of the first 17th-century printing houses and of the first modern Orthodox religious school in the Danubian Principality of Wallachia. At the Oltenian monastery of Govora, whose hegumen Meletiy has been in the period of 1634-1640, some of the most important 17th-century Church Slavonic and Romanian editions were printed. In 1640 after an unsuccessful attempt to become an Orthodox bishop of Transylvania Meletiy returned to Wallachia and continued his literary work at the capital city of Târgoviște. In his biography, we may see a good example of how the ecclesiastical figures of the 17th century (the so-called “Age of Confessionalization, 1555-1648” - a period, characterized mainly by the close intertwinement of religion and politics) were equally engaged in both with important cultural and at the same time political initiatives.
