Cyrillic Manuscript Anthology of Sermons and Adorations by Joseph Vasil Dubiak written in the second half of 18th century is a very valuable monument. It is important not only from the formal point of view, but foremost due to its linguistic features, as well as its content. This treatise offers its description, part of which describes the linguistic characteristics, especially its lexical part. Detailed textological research, when contextualized with other similar manuscript sermon anthologies, offers the help at uncovering the resources, which could inspire its edition in the Byzantine milieu in Slovakia.

The article is concerned with the way in which Christian preachers discursively handle the categories of 'us' and 'them' in their sermons. The author points out that there are two different groups of 'them' in the sermons: (1) sectarians, and (2) unbelievers. According to self-categorisation theory, members of 'them', which comprise the so-called 'out-group', are often presented negatively, in sharp contrast to the positive self-presentation of members of the 'in-group'. And since sectarians comprise the genuine 'out-group', there is no problem for Christian preachers to talk about them. However, with respect to the latter group the situation is somewhat different. The problem for the preachers consists in the fact that their aim is not to defeat the unbelievers, but to make them believers. By using membership categorization analysis, the author shows how they discursively solve the problem of differentiating unbelievers and believers in such a way that no strict border splitting 'us' and 'them' is created. Such distinction might be undesirable for the preachers endeavouring to coax the unbelievers to believe in God and the believers to help unbelievers find the proper life course, since a definite border between 'us' and 'them' breeds the negatively presented 'out-group' and positively self-presented 'in-group'.

The only surviving manuscript of a sermon pronounced by Stefan Jaworski in Kyiv on 8 September 1693 includes a “funeral note” commemorating Łazarz Baranowicz’s death. Jaworski’s sermon and funeral note, which in the extant witness follows the sermon, have neither been published nor studied before. By providing an analysis of both, the aim of this paper is to investigate and compare the works of the two preachers and poets, and to draw some conclusions about their personalities, poetic style, and worldview. Baranowicz’s poems and Jaworski’s sermon also provide some interesting details which shed new light on the literary and cultural milieu of Kyiv and Czernihów in the last three decades of the 17th century
