Abstract

This article is devoted to a textual and comparative analysis of the old Belarusian didactic poem 'Kazania'. The author compares seven currently known versions of this work and demonstrates that they contain many identical stanzas. In conclusion, the researcher classifies these texts as three distinct versions on moral and religious themes, which were originally used by Uniate clergy for preaching purposes.
