metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to the newly found epistle of Patriarch Hermogenes addressed to the
  priests and laity of parish churches. Until now, information about this epistle has been limited
  to brief quotations in the writings of “zealots of piety” about unison chanting. The full
  text of the epistle has been preserved in three manuscripts. The authenticity of the epistle is
  confirmed by the realities reflected in it of the situation of the parish clergy in Russia in the
  16th–17th centuries: the patriarch writes in detail about violations of the liturgy; concerns the
  question of hired priests; denounces the practice of custom liturgies. He pays special attention
  to the relationship between the church clergy and parishioners. Patriarch Hermogenes
  reproaches parish priests for their resemblance of the laity in everyday life and disregard for
  the rules prescribed to the priests and denounces the desire of the parishioners to influence
  church affairs. The Patriarch directly demands that parishioners, irrespective of their high
  their rank, should not interfere in the course of the church service and declares the unaccepatability
  of shortening the service for the sake of the everyday needs of the laity. The article
  argues that the epistle dates to the time of the overthrow of Vasilii Shuiskii from the throne
  and the beginning of the events of the first militia and proposes a hypothesis about the existence
  of its original in the circles close to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich and the Moscow Printing
  House. The epistle of Patriarch Hermogenes available in all known copies and commentaries
  on its sources are included in the Appendix.
