9 - Bars’kyj and the Orthodox community

from PART I - THE ECUMENICAL PATRIARCHATE
Export citation
Summary
On leaving L'viv, Vasyl Hryhorovyc-Bars'kyj set out on foot for the shrine of St Nicholas at Bari, going on from there to Naples, Rome, Florence and Venice. The first section of Bars'kyj's travel journal is characterised by the exceptional richness of autobiographical and topographical information. In the early part of his travel journal one encounters a number of Bars'kyj's expressed attitudes to various nationalities, in part reflecting his personal experiences, but also in part determined by their attitudes to the Orthodox religion. In the second part of his travel journal, Bars'kyj started to rely less on oral sources and to lean more heavily on literary sources. The third and final parts of Bars'kyj's travel journal deal with events that took place between 1730 and late 1744. Changes to the model that Bars'kyj employed for his text will reflect his exposure to Greek education. Bars'kyj, who himself had difficulties in paying the kharadj, identified himself with the oppressed Orthodox community.
