Ignatius Brianchaninov (born Dmitry Alexandrovich Brianchaninov; Russian: Дмитрий Александрович Брянчанинов, IPA: [dmʲitrʲɪj ɐlʲɪkˈsandrəvʲɪdʑ brʲɪnʲtɕɪˈnʲinəf]; 15 February 1807 – 30 April 1867) was a bishop and theologian of the Russian Orthodox Church. He stands out as one of the greatest Eastern Orthodox patristic writers of the nineteenth century.[1]
