Abstract

This article deals with the theological and pedagogical aspect of the Unabridged Church Slavonic Dictionary (1899–1900) by Archpriest Grigory Dyachenko, which is not studied so far which became one of the last fundamental lexicographic compositions of the Synod period in Russia. The article ascertains the volume and analyses the content of materials in the fi elds of biblical studies, liturgics, heresiology, church history, dogmatic and moral theology as well as canon law included in the dictionary. Besides, the article establishes the main circle of lexicographic and theological sources employed by G. Dyachenko. Based on the fi ndings of the article, the author makes the conclusion that the Dictionary by G. Dyachenko cannot be regarded as an independent scholarly work in respect of theology. At the same time, it represents an educational encyclopedia on the Orthodox culture that contains well-arranged and rich material, set out in accordance with main principles of pedagogy and standards of educational and scientifi c style.
