==Life==
Ivan was born early in the sixteenth century. Little is known of his early life. Neither his place nor his date of birth are known. He graduated from Jagiellonian University in Kraków with bachelor degree in 1532.
 
In 1564–5 Fedorov accepted an appointment as a [[deacon]] in the [[church]] of St. Nicholas (Gostunsky) in the Moscow Kremlin. With Peter Mstislavets, he established the Moscow Print Yard and published a number of liturgical works in [[Church Slavonic]] using moveable type.This technical innovation created competition for the Muscovite scribes, who persecuted Fedorov and Mstsislavets and finally caused them to flee to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. There they were received by the Lithuanian Hetman H. Khodkevych at his estate in Zabłudów (Zabludiv) (northern Podlachia), where they published ''Ievanheliie uchytel’noie'' (Didactic Gospel, 1569) (see Zabłudów Gospel) and Psaltyr’ (Psalter, 1570).
Fedorovych died on [[December 14]], 1583 in Lvov. He was buried on the grounds of the St. Onuphrius Monastery, now in Poland.
