Abstract. The purpose of this article is to identify and describe the publications of St. Theophan in the “Athos Leaflets” based on the modern three-volume edition of 2007. The “Athos Leaflets” have been published since 1881. In total, more than 400 issues of the “Athos Leaflets” were published. In total, 35 publications of the saint Theophan were identified in 26 issues. The author comes to the conclusion that many articles of st. Theophan in the “Athos Leaflets” were reprints of the publications of the Saint from the magazines “Home Conversation”, “Soul-benefit Reading”, as well as other works and sermons of St. Theophan. In the second half of the 19th century. For the spiritual edification of pilgrims, many monasteries began to publish leaflets with religious and moral content. In a concise, accessible form, they set out the Gospel and patristic teaching about salvation. They were compiled on the basis of various publications, letters, excerpts from patristic writings and original works of spiritual authors. The leaflets were published for a long time and were very popular among readers. The “Trinity Leaves”, published at the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra, became especially famous, the editor of which for 25 years, from 1879, was Archbishop Nikon (Rozhdestvensky). During the 30 years of its publication until 1917, “Trinity Leaves” were published in a circulation of 136 million copies. The Optina, Shamordinsky, Glinsky and many other leaflets are also known, in which “church-social and scientific-theological issues recede into the background, and the main place is occupied by publicly accessible religious and moral articles for edifying reading” [12, p. XIII]. Pilgrims recalled that they often received monastery leaflets as a blessing from the elders; in these small leaflets they found answers to their spiritual questions. Holy Mount Athos has long been perceived by the Orthodox as the inheritance of the Mother of God, as a place under the special protection and heavenly control of the Mother of God. The significance of Holy Athos for Orthodox Russia was well expressed by Archbishop Nikanor (Brovkovich) of Kherson and Odessa in his speech in 1887: “Athos is the highest expression of the Christian ideal... Athos is the conversion of all the best tasks of life into the highest task of unceasing prayer, unceasing praise to God in the highest evangelical purity of soul and body, heart and thoughts, wishes and aspirations. That is why the whole of Athos is one most magnificent church of the One Most High God. Athos from end to end of the Holy Mountain is unceasing prayer, unceasing praise to God, unceasing day-long thanksgiving to God. That is why on Athos there are more than half-daily vigils, from sunset to sunrise, all-night vigils; That’s why there are continuous transitions from liturgy to liturgy, from Little to Great Vespers, from Compline to the Evening Rule, from prayer for the coming to sleep to the Midnight Office and Matins to the deep morning. That is why there is incessant, incessant reading and singing of the Psalter, akathists, prayers and all kinds of prayers. Holy Athos is a greenhouse, is a nursery, is a hotbed of asceticism of all kinds, even to this day... and every Athos resident is an ascetic, an ascetic willingly and unwillingly. Everyone there does not have his own will, but is subordinate to the will of the elder, subordinate to the general spirit and rules of monastic self-denial. Everyone spends most of the day in prayer and worship, and spends the rest in labors of obedience. Every Athonite eats only what is prescribed by the charter, and in such quantities as the dishes are served in common meals... In addition, the general Athonite spirit does not encourage satiety, but, on the contrary, exhaustion of the body due to the poverty of food. Every Athos exhausts and prematurely dies the body with labors of all kinds, frequent vigils, almost uninterrupted standing... Athos has preserved in the purest integrity, in spirit and letter, the rules of hermitage, hermitage, community life, and special types of asceticism... Athos passed on its charters and covenants, its order and spirit to the holy monasteries and our Christ-loving Fatherland... The spirit and order, rules and regulations of Athos permeated all church rites of all churches of Holy Orthodox Russia, as an inviolable covenant of the holy fathers, as the most perfect ideal...” Pilgrimage to the Holy Mountain from Russia became especially intense in the 19th century. In 1873, a small Athos chapel was consecrated in Moscow, and in 1883, a new large chapel was built in the very center of Moscow, not far from the unpreserved Vladimir Gate of Kitay-Gorod on Nikolskaya Street. The Orthodox people were able to worship the shrines that were brought from Athos: the holy cross with a piece of the Life-Giving Tree, a piece of stone from the Holy Sepulcher, a piece of the relics of the Holy Great Martyr Panteleimon and the miraculous image of the Tikhvin Mother of God. The expansion of ties with Athos was also facilitated by the extensive book publishing activities of the Athos Panteleimon Monastery, in which Saint Theophan took an active part. Most of the saint's books were published by the publishing house of the Russian Panteleimon Monastery. The Athos Leaflets published excerpts from the works and letters of St. Theophan. Such sheets can be considered reading for every day. The same genre was developed by Saint Theophan in his work “Thoughts for Every Day.” “Athos Leaflets” have been published since 1881. In total, more than 400 issues of “Athos Leaflets” have been published. Each piece of paper had a number and a topic. There were two types of sheets - 4, 8 and 16 pages. The publisher was the Russian Monastery of the Holy Martyr. Panteleimon on Mount Athos. The title colophons could be of several types: Blessing of the monastery of St. Panteleimon; Blessing of the Athos Monastery of St. Great Martyr Panteleimon; For the blessing of the Holy Monastery of St. Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon; Athos leaf. The leaflets were published for free distribution to fans in the monasteries - Panteleimonova on Athos, New Athos in the Caucasus and the farmsteads belonging to them. Some of the leaflets were sent out free of charge as supplements to the magazines “Soulful Reflection” and “Soulful Interlocutor.” The magazine “Soulful Reflection” was founded by Hieromonk Arseny (Minin), the addressee of St. Theophan, as a publication of the Athos Russian Panteleimon Monastery and was published from 1878 to 1887. The publication consisted of small notebooks with spiritual and edifying content. These notebooks were first sent out exclusively to benefactors and were published in 10 to 12 issues per year. After 1888, the publication was transformed into the monthly magazine “Soulful Interlocutor”, published in 1888–1918. in Moscow, Athos Panteleimon Monastery. Those wishing to take part in the distribution of the “Athos Leaflets” or to participate in a charitable cause could order a specific number of the leaflet from the catalog for printing small editions. At the beginning of the 20th century. sheets of 4 pages cost 70 kopecks. for 100 sheets (with postage - 90 kopecks). Sheets of 8 pages cost 1 ruble 20 kopecks, with postage - 1 ruble. 50 kopecks, 16 pages – 2 rubles, with postage – 2 rubles. 50 kopecks The publishers noted that the indicated shipping prices were valid only for a distance of no further than 2000 versts (that is, all provinces except the Caucasus and Siberia), and then it was necessary to add a ruble for each, and for every 1000 versts another 10 kopecks. Publishers also offered to purchase sets of collections of one hundred or fifty sheets, bound in a row (for example: Nos. 1–50 or Nos. 1–100). For example, a similar collection of the first hundred issues, 700 pages long, cost 1 ruble. (with postage - 1 rub. 30 kopecks, and from fifty issues - 50 kopecks (with postage - 70 kopecks). The distribution of the “Athos Leaflets” was carried out by the Athos Chapel (on Nikolskaya Street in Moscow), where the warehouse of publications of the Athos Panteleimon Monastery was located. “Athos Leaves” could also be purchased at the warehouse of the department of distribution of spiritual and moral books in the Vysokopetrovsky Monastery and at the A.D. bookstore. Stupina on Nikolskaya Street in Moscow; in St. Petersburg - at the New Athos courtyard (on the corner of Zabalkansky Prospekt and the 2nd company of the Izmailovsky Regiment), in the Synodal bookstore (in the building of the Holy Synod on Petrovskaya Square), in the book warehouse of the St. Petersburg Orthodox Brotherhood in the name of the Blessed Virgin Mary (in the Alexander Nevsky Lavra), in the bookstore of I. L. Tuzov (st. Sadovaya, Gostiny Dvor, No. 45); in Odessa - at the Athos courtyard. At the end of the 19th century. a three-volume set was released, combining all the “Athos Leaves”, which was republished in 2007.

Thus, the sources for the publication of articles from the works of St. Theophan in the Athos Leaves were: – Articles in the magazine “Home Conversation” • Original articles – 6 Compiled on the basis of the book “Words to the Vladimir flock of the Right Reverend Theophan” (Vladimir, 1869) – 10 • Compiled on the basis of the book “Words to the Tambov flock of Feofan, Bishop of Tambov and Shatsky in 1859 and 1860” (St. Petersburg, 1861) – 7 – Letters from the saint from the magazine “Soulful Reading” – 2 – Selected works of the saint • “Thoughts for every day of the year according to church readings from the word of God” – 1 • “The Outline of Christian Moral Teaching” – 1 • “Letters to various persons on various subjects of faith and life” – 1 • “Letters on the Christian Life” – 1 • “Words to the Vladimir flock of His Grace Theophan” (Vladimir, 1869) – 1 • “Words to the Tambov flock of the Right Reverend Theophan” (M., 1867) – 4 • Words of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy by the rector Archimandrite Feofan (St. Petersburg, 1859) – 1 Thus, many articles in “Athos Leaflets” were reprints of the saint’s publications from the magazine “Home Conversation”, in which in 1869 small articles by the bishop began to appear. Feofan, as defined by editor V.I. Askochensky, “many-minded, spiritually contemplative aphorisms, <...> a continuous series of reflections, apparently isolated, but having a close connection with each other.” These were small spiritual essays, revealing a spiritual and moral theme, interpreting a verse of Holy Scripture. Often the title was in the form of a question or thesis. Laconic in form, but capacious in content, they introduced readers to the fundamentals of the Orthodox faith and contained dogmatic and exegetical interpretations. How the word bishop once sounded with strength and authority. Feofan from the church pulpit, and now from the Vyshenskaya hermitage the archpastor talked with his children through the printed word. According to V.I. Askochensky, “if anyone longs for a word of admonition, who has more or less anxious thoughts about his salvation, let him read the conversations of the Reverend. Feofan, and not just sermons, but everything, everything that came out and comes out from his pen. This is a father talking to his children; this is the word of the wise with us, the people of this age who think highly of themselves.” During 1872–1873 Almost every issue of Home Conversation opens with small thematic articles from the works of Bishop. Feofan, which in form are similar to the publications of 1869. The editor of the magazine V.I. became the compiler of the articles published in 1872–1873. Askochensky, what St. Feofan mentioned in a letter to N.V. Elagin [11]. A total of 99 articles were published during this period. As our research showed, 55 passages were taken from sermons to the Vladimir flock [9], 25 passages from sermons to the Tambov flock [10], 13 passages from “Letters on Christian Life” (issues 1 and 2) [7], the source for 6 articles was not attributed. The journal “Soulful Reading” also published many of the saint’s creations, and after his death, a large array of letters and memoirs. Several materials from this magazine were also published in Athos Leaves. Some of the articles in the Athos Leaflets were excerpts from the sermons and works of St. Theophan. Almost all issues of the “Athos Leaves” were compiled entirely from the works of St. Theophan, except for issues Nos. 111, 113, 117, 299. In some issues, two excerpts from the works of the saint were published - issues Nos. 52, 58, 166, 168, 169; three excerpts – Nos. 21, 174. The high spiritual authority of Saint Theophan is emphasized by the fact that even before the revolution, long before his glorification, in issue No. 117 of the Athos Leaves, Theophan the Recluse was called a saint. 1.
