ROSTUL DE AUR. UN MANUSCRIS SLAVON DE LA ÎNCEPUTUL SECOLULUI AL XVIII-LEA

A remarkable personality who contributed significantly to the enrichment of the bibliophile treasure of the Neamț Monastery was the hieromonk Pahomie. Between 1704 and 1706 he undertook a journey to Russia, during which he met with Metropolitan Dimitry of Rostov. He received from the hand of the Russian prelate a valuable manuscript about hesychasm written in Old Church Slavonic. The text of the manuscript is closely related to the Gospel texts. In this article we pay particular attention to the notes placed on some pages of this manuscript, which summarize its historical and theological value. Both the text of the manuscript and the notes on the file are of great historical importance, as they are evidence of the meeting of the two great ecclesiastical personalities.
