Abstract
This article is dedicated to an encomium on St. Luke the evangelist, whose text has been preserved in the manuscript Laud. gr. 81 (and two copies of it), which says that its author is St. Andrew of Crete, and in Ambrosianus A 63 inf., according to which the author is Photios, deacon and skeuophylax. Some arguments in favor of St Andrew’s authorship are considered and a translation into Russian is given.
