This is an automatically translated description

This thorough historical work explores the formation of Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky's national identity. The author, Professor Magdalena Nowak of the University of Gdańsk, analyses his personal connections, family and friendships, business relationships, education, sources of spiritual inspiration, and orderly environment-all of which may have influenced his national identity.

The publication also examines Sheptytsky's activities with a special emphasis on his participation in political processes against the background of socio-political, national, and religious transformations taking place in the Habsburg Empire, Galicia, and the Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic Churches. The monograph is divided into seven chapters in chronological and thematic order and an epilogue. At the end of each chapter, there are conclusions that relate primarily to Sheptytsky's national identification and his contacts with Polish and Ruthenian identity.
