Innokentiy Gizel

Innokentiy Gizel (Ukrainian: ?; Russian: "Иннокентий Гизель") (c. 1600 - November 18, 1683) was a Prussian-born Ukrainian historian, writer, political and ecclesiastic figure, who had adopted Orthodox Christianity.

Innokentiy Gizel was a rector of the Kievan Theological School (Киевская коллегия). In 1656, he was appointed archmandrite of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. Innokentiy Gizel is known to have supported the unification of Ukraine and Russia and of the Ukrainian clergy, simultaneously. Innokentiy Gizel is generally credited for writing the Synopsis in 1674, but some researchers deny his authorship.
