From the collection of Count A.S. Uvarov No. 512 (formerly Tsarskogo No. 366), l. 275 vol.–277; was published, according to the same list, in the first volume of Historical Acts under No. 283. - The fact of the establishment of the 6th cathedral in Pskov was also included in the local chronicle (Pol. Sob. Let. vol. V, p. 36). A certificate was given in Pskov about their sixth council By the grace of God and his most pure Mother of God, here Philip, Metropolitan of All Rus', according to the charter and custom of his former brethren, former metropolitans of All Rus', blessed the fatherland of his lord and son, Grand Duke Ivan Vasilyevich of All Rus', and his son Grand Duke Ivan Ivanovich, in the house of the holy life-giving Trinity, in Pskov, sedate mayors, and old mayors, and sons of mayors, and boyars, and merchants, and living people of the entire Pskov land: what do they have in their old days, in the house of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity they have the first larger cathedral, and then St. Sophia the second cathedral, and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker the third cathedral, at the great Savior they have the fourth cathedral, and in Praise the Fifth Cathedral of the Most Pure Mother of God; and they beat us with their foreheads from the entire Pskov land, with writing letters from the holy monks and from all the priests and from the deacons, from all their five cathedrals, begging and begging and beating with their foreheads, so that, with our blessing, they would arrange for themselves a sixth cathedral in Pskov, to the glory of God and to the great honor of the holy church, and to the great devotion of my lord and son, Grand Duke Ivan Vasilyevich, and his son Grand Duke Ivan Ivanovich, and all Orthodoxy, and in the Church of the Holy Entry of God into Jerusalem; and in that cathedral they already had one hundred monks and priests and two church ministers. And Philip, the Metropolitan of all Rus', having discussed this with his master and son, with the Grand Duke Ivan Vasilyevich, and with his son with the Grand Duke Ivan Ivanovich, granted them: he blessed and ordered them to hold a sixth council for themselves in Pskov, for the glory of God and for their devotion to the great princes, and all Orthodoxy; and they hold that holy cathedral church, the holy Entry of God into Jerusalem, those one hundred and two of their priests, with standing, honestly, with holy singing and reading, according to the same charter, as they hold the divine and sacred rules in those former five cathedrals of 2906 holy cathedral churches, and they sing for weeks; and if a priest does not take care of holy singing and church reading, and does not have to stand up to God’s holy church, he will accept guilt and church execution, according to the rules of the holy Apostles and Holy Fathers, and from our humility he will be unblessed. And it was written in the summer of the eightieth, the 22nd day of the month of September. You might be interested in:
