LEAVING HOME:
THE REMARKABLE LIFE OF PETER JACYK

By John Lawrence Reynolds

Leaving Home recounts the inspiring life of the founder of PJEF, the late Toronto-based businessman, Peter Jacyk. The English language text celebrates the life of a remarkable man determined to make a positive impact on an often hostile world.

The English-language translation of M. Hrushevsky’s 10 volumes in (12 books) History of Ukraine-Rus’ is a fundamental historical work which presents a comprehensive and well-documented synthesis of Ukrainian history from the earliest times to the mid 17th century. Commenting on the book’s importance, Christian Science Monitor wrote: “…there is nothing [in this field] in English or in any other language, for that matter, comparable in authority and solidity with [Hrushevsky’s] work…,” and a reviewer of this project on behalf of the National Endowment for the Humanities declared: “ …the translation of Hrushevsky’s master works would fill a great gap in the scholarship not only in Ukrainian history, but also in Russian, Polish and Jewish history.”

Ukraine: A Historical Atlas

by Paul R. Magocsi

In 1985, Petro Jacyk sponsored the publication of Professor Robert Magocsi's Ukraine: a Historical Atlas, a book which, through its 35 maps of Ukrainian lands in various periods of history, supplemented with extensive commentaries, illustrates the unceasing historical process of the shaping of the Ukrainian nation.

Entsyklopediia Ukrainoznavstva (Encylopedia of Ukraine)

The multi-volume "Entsyklopediia Ukrainoznavstva", edited by Dr. V. Kubiiovych and published by the Shevchenko Scientific Society is an invaluable source of verified factual information about Ukraine and its people. Mr. Jacyk's financial support was instrumental to this project's success.

Voluntary Brotherhood: Confraternities of Laymen in Early Modern Ukraine

by Iaroslav Isaievych

The study of the confraternity movement in early modern Ukraine is vital for our understanding of the unique place Ukrainian culture and society have occupied between Eastern and Western Christianity. The Eastern-rite confraternities contributed to an increase in the pace of Ruthenian socio-cultural growth. The schools and presses attached to the confraternities disseminated European humanist ideas and promoted the development of scholarship and literature.
