| Izvleček: | This article demonstrates how Karion Istomin’s Book of Understanding Intellectual Vision and Bodily Activity in God’s Wisdom (1683), the panegyric offered to Petr Alekseevič for his eleventh name-day, exemplifies an ongoing phenomenon in turn-of-the-century East Slavic culture, namely the shift from the Medieval idea of wisdom as something that God located in the human heart to Classical and Renaissance ideas of wisdom as something that humans achieve through active study. Karion Istomin not only strengthened the ties between Muscovy and Classical and European culture, continuing the legacy of the previous generation of poets like Simeon Polockij and Evfimij Čudovskij; he also contributed to establishing a new notion of culture as human achievement and a new role of the poet as the promoter of such culture. |
