Online Concordance to the Complete Works of Hryhorii Skovoroda by Natalia Pylypiuk, Oleh Ilnytzlyj and Serhiy Kozakov (MLCS, U of A)
This publication is a free, online resource for searching, analyzing and reading the oeuvre of Hryhorii Skovoroda (1722-1794), one of the most prominent alumni of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and the major Ukrainian poet and philosopher of the second half of the eighteenth century.

If printed the concordance would consist of at least sixteen 500-pages volumes. The core alone, "Word Lists & Concordance," is equivalent to 8,239 pages. Yet another part features 1,232 pages of manuscript facsimiles of Skovoroda’s own autographs and/or manuscript copies made in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.  This part also features a new, corrected edition of Skovoroda's oeuvre, prepared by Leonid Ushkalov, in which the diacritics Skovoroda used are shown for the first time. The publication includes a biographical sketch and an excursus on earlier Skovoroda editions. The section “Analysis Tools” allows readers to customize searches, using Boolean-type notations and to identify collocates. Tools also display pre-defined categories such as dedicatory letters, quotations, and references to personal and geographical names. All three languages used by Skovoroda (Slavonic, Latin and Greek) are the subject of analysis in the concordance, which is organized into eleven parts.
