You see the Kyivan Cave Monastery, founded 1051 by the venerable monks Anthony and Theodosius, with the upper caves left and the lower caves right. They contain relics of more than 120 saints and the monastery is a famous pilgrimage centre of the Orthodox world. The map belongs to a translation in Dutch of Oppenbusch's Religio Muscovitarum (1660), which outlines the history of its rites and beliefs. Muscovite Orthodoxy was largely defined by the humanist teachings and church reforms of the Kyiv metropolitan Mohyla. He founded 1632 the first Western-type educational institution in Ukraine, modeled on Jesuit-colleges of the era. The turn of Muscovite clerics towards Kyiv coincided with the political emergence of the Cossacks of Ukraine that needed close ties with the tsar. Part of the Cave Monastery is still the seat of the Kyiv metropolitan under the patriarch of Moscow.
