Lev Krevza's a Defense of Church Unity and Zaxarija Kopystens'Kyj's Palinodia

Lev Krevza's Defense of Church Unity (1617), on the Uniate side, and Zaxarija Kopystens'kyj's Palinodia (1621), a monumental defense of the Eastern Church, are arguably the most erudite, comprehensive, and persuasive works on the ecclesiastical debate between these two groups. This two-volume work illuminates the intense struggle ignited when, at the time of the Union of Brest (1596), a large part of the Ruthenian ecclesiastical hierarchy declared itself in communion with the Roman Catholic Church. Bohdan Struminski provides English translations from the original Ruthenian and Middle Polish texts.Kopystens'kyj, Zaxarija is the author of 'Lev Krevza's a Defense of Church Unity and Zaxarija Kopystens'Kyj's Palinodia' with ISBN 9780916458294 and ISBN 0916458296.
