The life path and scientific activities of Rev. Arystarkh Kryzhanovskyi (December 10, 1877 – November 11, 1905), hieromonk of the Basilian mo­nasteries in Dobromyl, and since 1902 – in Krekhiv, and of St. Onuphrius in Lviv, historian, and archeographer, are revealed based on available archival documents and printed works. The stages of his scientific work, which began with an interest in history, are analyzed – from the search, discovery, copying of the monastic archival sources of Halychyna to the compilation of ma­nuscript collections’ series on the history of the Order of St. Basil the Great titled “Monumenta Ord. S. Basilii M. сongregationis ruthenae […] Collectio Aristarchi A. M. Kryzhanowski, Ord. S. B. М.” (“Monuments of the Order of St. Basil the Great of the Ruthenian Congregation. Collection of Aristarchus A. M. Kryzhanowski, O. S. B. М.”).

His cooperation with the Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv is noted, in particular publication of valuable documents on the history of Ukraine from monastic libraries and archives in its “Memoirs”. He published there the archeographic article “Ruthenian ‘chronicle’ from the 17th century” (1904) and planned to publish archeographic descriptions of manuscripts of the library of St. Onuphrius monastery in Lviv. Due to his short life A. Kryzhanovskyi was unable to fully realize his scientific ideas, his life position was continued by his brothers in the Order, who developed his scientific endeavors.

Keywords: Arystarkh Kryzhanovskyi, hieromonk, Order of St. Basil the Great, History of Ukraine.
