Two trends have been invoked in the discussion of Kirillov’s textual innovations, and although scholars have prudently declined to make a strong case for them, they are worth a second look. These trends, each ideologically opposed to the other, are scholasticism at the Novgorod archbishop Gennadii’s court in the period 1484–1504, and Judaizing Aristotelianism from Ukraine, which possibly originated at the Kievan court of the Olel'kovichi in a slightly earlier period (ca. 1454– 70) and then moved north.
This corpus was not translated for Jewish use, and the intended audience is a matter of some dispute. 67 Zacharia was close to the Kievan princely scion Mikhail Olel'kovich, pretender to the Kievan throne and even that of Lithuania, who was ultimately beheaded in 1481 for conspiring to overthrow the Lithuanian grand prince and king of Poland, Casimir IV. Mikhail’s elder brother, Simeon (prince of Kiev 1454/5–70), was a perennial candidate in the Lithuanian Sejm for grand duke during periods of opposition to Casimir, and Zacharia’s source work on Hebrew manuscripts associated with the corpus in Kiev is coterminous with Simeon’s rule there.
Likewise, Stock’s effort to submerge the traditional monastic-scholastic opposition within a purely theoretical field of textuality (‘While specific interpretations were open to debate, there was less and less questioning of the principle of interpretation through texts’)3 is laudable, but difficult to historicize as formulated. ’ Yet if medieval readers were aware that ‘some problems require knowledge (episteme) and others practical wisdom (phronesis),’4 whence did they gain this broader understanding?
