Из надписей-граффити в лестничной башне Георгиевского собора Юрьева монастыря

С. 98–111.

Gippius A., Mikheev S. M.

The authors publish five inscriptions which date from the 12th to the first half of the 13th century. Among those is an autograph of a deacon from the Novgorod convent of St. John the Baptist with the earliest record of “Rostkin” as the common-usage name of that convent; inscriptions of Sozont and Sergius with self-deprecating epithets liutyi, tativyi and krazhii; poetic praise for the “crooked” but literate deacon Putila which displays bookish syntactic patterns yet contains distinctly dialectal phonetic and morphological features; and a fully spelled out alphabet, rarely seen in Old Russian inscriptions. The first four graffiti are published with significant amendments to previous readings, the fifth is published for the first time.
