His Eminence (Preosvyashchenny)
His Eminence
also: преосвященный, преосвященнейший, Most Reverend
The formal Russian Orthodox honorific for a bishop, used by everyone who addresses or refers to one; set against the plain word "bishop" at the moments a bishop-character doubts his own office.
Reading notes
- The Bishop §3 His Eminence
The formal honorific (преосвященный) used for a Russian Orthodox bishop by everyone around him; Chekhov sets it against the plainer word "bishop" (архиерей) at the moments Pyotr doubts his own office.
- The Bishop §60 Most Reverend
A superlative form of the honorific "His Eminence," used interchangeably with it and with "Vladyka" by those addressing Bishop Pyotr directly.
