Abstract
Over the centuries, Ukrainian culture developed according to a special algorithm related to the spiritual environment. A major role in this process was played by the Supraśl Monastery, founded at the
turn of the XV-XVI centuries at the intersection of Ukrainian, Belarusian and Polish cultures. This
process contributed to the good awareness of the monastery in artistic innovations. Therefore, one of
the oldest note-linear irmologion was created at the end of the 16th century, and later partes polyphonic singing was introduced in Supraśl. The publication of Supraśl canticles with accompanying
scientific research made it possible to reveal the full depth of the cultural and artistic life of the Kyiv
Metropolia
