Abstract

The article defines the circumstances of the existence of the icon of Our Lady of Svensk Pechersk, which according to legend is a miracle-working icon of the Kiev-Pechersk monastery, sent to Bryansk to heal the blind Prince Roman. Its iconography reproduces the altar mosaic of the assumption Pechersk Church with the image of Our Lady enthroned, supplemented by figures of the upcoming venerable Anthony and Theodosius, which are their first surviving images. The story, reflecting the history of the icon, preserved in the Legend of Conception of Svensky Monastery and in the Tale of Svensky Icon of Our Lady. The Legend dates no later than 1566, when the life of the Svensky monastery became more active in connection with the renewal of the icon’s riza, carried out on the instructions of Ivan IV Vasilyevich. Most likely, the protograph of the Legend is a petition about the restoration of the icon’s riza of the elder Job Kamy- nin, presumably included in the monastic chronicler. Two well-known lists of Tales published in the late 18th — early 20th centuries belong to editions dating back to this protograph. The text of the Legend does not reflect the ecphrasis of the miraculous icon, but contains a legend about the finding of the Shrine and the Foundation of the monastery, which dates back to 1288. It is the miracle-working icon that becomes the main text-generating factor of the Legend, which implements the traditional motif: an ancient Shrine changes a person’s life, heals him through the prayers of Our Lady, he builds a monastery that be- gins to live, preserving the memory of the shrine, the donator and legendary events. The Tale of Svensky Icon of Our Lady is a monument of the 19th century and it is a Special edition of the Legend, which is limited to the history of the icon and the emergence of Svensky monastery in the late 13th century.
斯文斯基修道院的受孕传说与佩切尔斯克圣母像:文本历史、诗学与肖像学
这篇文章定义了斯文斯克佩切尔斯克圣母像存在的情况,根据传说,这是基辅佩切尔斯克修道院的一个奇迹工作图标,被送到布良斯克治疗失明的罗马王子。它的肖像再现了佩切尔斯克教堂的祭坛马赛克,其中有圣母的形象,还有即将到来的安东尼和狄奥多西的形象,这是他们第一次幸存下来的形象。这个故事反映了圣像的历史,保存在《斯文斯基修道院受孕传说》和《斯文斯基圣母圣像传说》中。传说的日期不迟于1566年,当时在伊凡四世瓦西里耶维奇的指示下,斯文斯基修道院的生活变得更加活跃,与圣像的丽扎的更新有关。最有可能的是,传说的原稿是一份关于恢复老约伯·卡米宁的圣像的请愿书,大概包括在修道院编年史中。在18世纪末到20世纪初出版的两本著名的故事集就属于这个原型的版本。《传说》的文本并没有反映出这个神奇的图标的措辞,但包含了一个关于发现神殿和建立修道院的传说,可以追溯到1288年。创造奇迹的圣像成为《传说》的主要文本生成因素,它实现了传统的主题:一个古老的神龛改变了一个人的生活,通过圣母的祈祷治愈了他,他建立了一个修道院,他开始生活,保存了对神龛、捐赠者和传奇事件的记忆。Svensky的故事圣母圣像是一座19世纪的纪念碑,它是传说的特别版,它仅限于圣像的历史和13世纪晚期Svensky修道院的出现。
