The History of the Condemnation of the Patriarch Nicon, composed by
the Greek prelate Paisius Ligarides of Scio (1612 1678), is an
account of the bitter struggle between the leaders of the Russian
church and state during the reign of Tsar Alexis Michaelovich (1629
1676) and the patriarchate of Nicon (1605 1681). The conflict
resulted in the exile and deposition of the Patriarch in 1666,
decreed by an ecclesiastical council headed by Ligarides.
Ligarides' History, a theological and legal essay on the powers of
the tsar, is one of the most important polemics produced during the
period. The arguments and ideas it contains represented important
advances in the developing ideological tradition of the absolute
authority of the tsar. This 1873 translation, the third of six
volumes on the subject compiled by William Palmer, made this key
historical source accessible to English-speaking scholars of
Russian ecclesiastical history and political thought.
