The authors included in this volume-Ilarion, Klim Smoljatic, and
Kirill of Turov-are remarkable for both their personal and literary
achievements. Appointed in 1051 by Prince Jaroslav the Wise,
Ilarion was the first of only two recorded "native" metropolitans
of Kiev. His "Sermon on Law and Grace" constitutes the finest piece
of eleventh-century Rus' rhetorical literature. Klim Smoljatic, the
second "native" metropolitan of Rus' (from 1147), is the author of
the controversial "Epistle to Foma," which addresses the debate
over the proper nature and limits of Christian learning. Finally,
the twelfth-century monk Kirill of Turov is best known for his
collection of allegorical lessons and some of the most accomplished
sermons of Kievan Rus'. The volume contains the first complete
translations of the "Epistle to Foma" and the lessons and sermons
of Kirill, as well as an entirely new rendering of the "Sermon on
Law and Grace." Simon Franklin prefaces the texts with a
substantial introduction that places each of the three authors in
their historical context and examines the literary qualities as
well as textual complexities of these outstanding works of Rus'
literature.
