Pamvo Berynda (born Pavlo Berynda, c. 1560 in Yezupil (according to other sources, in Chaikovychi near Sambir) – died on July 23 (O.S. July 13), 1632 in Kyiv) was a Ukrainian lexicographer, linguist, and Orthodox monk, best remembered for authoring The Slovene – Rus' Lexicon.[1][2][3][4][5] He was also one of the pioneers of Ukrainian drama.
Life
[edit]An engraver and printer by profession, Berynda was a highly educated person and knew Old Church Slavonic, Greek, Latin and Polish languages. Under the patronage of Hedeon Balaban, in 1597-1608 he worked at the printing houses in Striatyn and Krylos. His 1606 didactic gospels for the first time in Ukrainian printing included illustrations to the text. In 1613-1619 Berynda worked at the school and printing house of Lviv Orthodox brotherhood. After 1619 together with his son he moved to Kyiv and settled in Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery, where he remained for the rest of his life. In Kyiv Berynda worked as an editor, translator, printer and engraver. During that time he was affiliated with a group of intellectuals headed by Yelysei Pletenetskyi.[6]
Main works
[edit]
Berynda's Lexicon, printed in 1627 in Kyiv, included the translation of more than 7,000 words from Church Slavonic into Old Ukrainian. It was the first dictionary in East Slavic lands composed in accordance to scientific norms. The Lexicon played an important role in the standardization of both Church Slavonic and Ukrainian language and was used as a schoolbook until the end of the 18th century.
Berynda also contributed to a number of publications issued by Kyiv Pechersk Lavra and wrote panegyric epigrams for a number of prominent people, including metropolitan Petro Mohyla. His 1616 book "На рожство... вЂршЂ для утЂхи православним христіаном" ("On Christmas... verses for the joy of Orthodox Christians"), dedicated to Lviv archbishop Jeremiah Tysarowski, introduced dramatic elements and decorations and can be seen as a prototype of school drama. Berynda was also an author of a number of woodcuts.[7]
