SMOTRYC'KYJ'S THRENOS OF 1610 485The case of Smotryc'kyj's Threnos raises some questions of methodologyin the study of Ruthenian literary monuments of the late sixteenth andearly seventeenth century. On the one hand, it is clearly counter-productiveto assume that Ruthenian scholars would have recourse only to "Orthodox"rhetorical models. Given the Western intellectual orientation of suchfigures as Smotryc'kyj or Mohyla, for example, it is in no way surprising tofind that Latin rhetoric and Polish models hold keys to their writing,whether it was in Polish or Ruthenian. Nor should we rule out the possibilitythat Western models played a role in the work of such Orthodox traditionalistsas Ivan Vysens'kyj. 67 Indeed, the question should now be posed,to what extent did some of the works traditionally named as Smotryc'kyj'smodels adhere to the same set of Latin rhetorical norms? On the otherhand, we should not treat writings by Ruthenians, even writings in Polish,as simply a manifestation of Latin-Polish literary culture in the easternlands of the Commonwealth. Smotryc'kyj's use of the genitive of exclamationalerts us to attempts by Ruthenian scholars to create a kind of OrthodoxPolish. 68 It may prove possible, for example, to discover in the works ofRuthenian writers the co-existence of a Latin-influenced prose rhythm withthe recurrent isocolic structures that, as shown by the research of RiccardoPicchio, characterized a large portion of Orthodox Slavic prose. 69As Frank E. Sysyn has noted, the habit of creating "camps with completelyopposed religious views, linguistic preferences, cultural sources, andliterary styles does not correspond to the realities of seventeenth-centuryUkraine, where the lines were neither so clearly nor so consistentlydrawn." 70 Ruthenian letters of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth67See V. N. Peretc, "Ivan Visenskij i pol'skaja literatura XVI v.," in his lssledovanija imaterial}' po istorii starinnoj ukrainskoj literatury XVI-XVIII vekov, Sbornik Otdelenijarusskogo jazyka i slovesnosti Akademii nauk SSSR, vol. 101, no. 2 (1926), pp. 15-49.Current research by Harvey Goldblatt will offer new insights on this topic.68Jaremenko (Meletij Smotryc'kyj, p. 47), drawing on Alexander Bruckner's "Spory o uniew dawnej literaturze" (Kwartalnik Historyczny 10 [1896]: 426), calls attention toSmotryc'kyj's use of a "Ukrainian-Belorussian recension of the Polish literary language." Apreliminary investigation shows that Smotryc'kyj's funeral oration for Leontij Karpovyc, inboth the Ruthenian and the Polish versions, makes similar use of a genitive of exclamation.Was this feature limited to Smotryc'kyj, or was it part of Ruthenian oratory in the period?69See Riccardo Picchio, "The Isocolic Principle in Old Russian Literature," in Slavic Poetics:Essays in Honor of Kiril Taranovsky, ed. R. Jakobson, C. H. van Schooneveld, and D. S.Worth (The Hague, 1973), pp. 299-331, and Riccardo Picchio, "The Impact of EcclesiasticCulture on Old Russian Literary Techniques," in Medieval Russian Culture, ed. Henrik Birnbaumand Michael S. Flier (Berkeley, 1984), pp. 247-79.70Frank E. Sysyn, "Peter Mohyla and the Kiev Academy in Recent Western Works: DivergentViews on Seventeenth-Century Ukrainian Culture," Harvard Ukrainian Studies 8, no. 1/2(June 1984): 169.
486 DAVID A. FRICKcenturies offer fascinating insights into the creation of an usus scribendithat drew on a great variety of sources and models. Needed at this point aredetailed investigations of that usage, ranging from questions of orthographyand lexicon to rhetoric and style. Such studies may add to our knowledgeof the ways in which Smotryc'kyj and others adapted Latin learning toOrthodox traditions in their efforts to establish a new Ruthenian way ofwriting.University of California, Berkeley
