The “Paterikon” was gradually formed in the 11th-15th centuries, and was subsequently repeatedly revised and supplemented. This “Kievo-Pechersk Patericon" was edited by contemporary historian and writer V. Dyatlov as a way to experience the understanding of the connection of the patristic heritage of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. It is the initial attempt to compile the lives of the holy fathers of Orthodox monasticism. Borrowing this genre from Byzantine books, the compilers of the Kiev-Pechersk Patericon dedicated this collection to the ascetics of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.
