Abstract<\/h4>\n
\n

The publication presents, for the first time, a metagraphic edition of a manuscript sermon by Metropolitan Varlaam Yasynskyi for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, preserved in the Manuscript Institute of the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine (shelfmark \u0414\u0410 226\u041b). Bringing this text into scholarly circulation broadens our understanding of the Kyiv oratorical-homiletic school of the 17th<\/sup>\u00a0century and early modern preaching.<\/p>\n

The linguistic hybridity of the sermon is analyzed: the text combines the \u201csimple\u201d Ukrainian language with Church Slavonic of the Ukrainian recension. Within the \u201csimple\u201d language, features of the Polissian dialect and Polish influence \u2014 typical of the period \u2014 are identified. The study demonstrates the coexistence of the living Ukrainian language and Church Slavonic on the levels of vocabulary, phraseology, phonetics, and grammar. The text contains authorial revisions that illustrate the process of integrating linguistic elements and adapting the sermon to its audience. The publication constitutes a valuable source for historical-linguistic, literary, and theological research on 17th<\/sup>-century Ukrainian preaching.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
