The Academy at the Tsar's Court: Greek Scholars and Jesuit Education in Early Modern Russia
14.99 €
In 1685, two Greek hieromonks, Ioannicius and Sophronius Likhudy, founded the first openly secular institution of higher education in Russian history, known to us as the Slavic Greek-Latin Academy. Like many of their Greek contemporaries, the brothers were educated in the schools of post-Renaissance Italy, which copied the Jesuit curriculum. In his book, N. Chryssidis analyzes the influence of the Slavic Greek-Latin Academy on Russian educational practice and places it in the broad context of Russian-Greek cultural ties and contacts between Russia and Western Europe in the seventeenth century. He shows how Russian and Greek educational enterprises were embedded in a pan-European model of Jesuit academic activity that influenced Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox educational institutions in terms of curricular choices. According to the author, Greek academic and cultural influence on Russia in the second half of the seventeenth century bore the imprint of Western educational standards, although it remained nominally Orthodox from a doctrinal point of view. Nikolaos Chryssidis is a historian and professor at Southern Connecticut State University, USA.
