Editor-in-chief: S. Mengel, L. Rossi
With this book, twenty-four specialists on 17th and 18th-Century Russia from Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Russia, China, and the United States celebrate the sixty-fifth birthday of Maria Cristina Bragone, professor of Slavic philology and Russian literature at Pavia University. Their essays focus on her main topic of interest and research: Peter the Great’s era and the origins and consequences of his project to westernize the country. In particular, the articles touch on the evolution of the Russian language as seen in translations into Russian made by non-Russian authors; the genre of the abecedary and the Russian language learning from the mid-17th to the 18th century; cultural import; and the translation of classical and humanistic texts.

The determination of new words and meanings is a key issue in lexical history studies. However,
common reliance on identifying “the earliest examples” can be challenged by textual complexity and subjective
disagreements. Focusing on the emergence of the FAST meaning of kuai (快), this study proposes criteria for
identifying new meanings from the perspective of the lexical system. ...

The article examines Old Russian anthroponyms with the suffix -ec-, originally conveying the meaning ‘less than X’. A diachronic corpus study of
11th–17th-century texts reveals that while this suffix lacked inherent pejorative
connotations in Old Russian sources, contextual (adherent) pejoration is clearly
observable. For pre-15th-century chronicles, two primary usage patterns are
identified—1) characters with explicit negative evaluation, and 2) ...

The story of the Tower of Babel (Gen 11:1-9) is one of the key episodes in the narratives of the Book of Genesis. In modern scholarship, various—often sharply divergent—datings of this pericope are proposed, as well as different interpretations of its place in the picture of the formation of the biblical text that was put ...

Like other narratives in the Book of Genesis, the story of Cain and Abel (Gen 4:1–16) has been studied and commented upon for more than two millennia. However, recent scholarship has introduced significant revisions to traditional interpretations. Over the past five years, several monumental commentaries on Genesis 1–11 have been published, offering new—and sometimes mutually ...

This book is a metaphysical inquiry into the nature and origin of the manifold. Taking Schelling’s Erlangen lectures of 1820–1821 as its point of departure and hermeneutic horizon, it develops an interpretation of Nomos that transcends its political, juridical, and social determinations. Nomos thereby emerges as the ontological principle of an infinite, variegated multiplicity of ...

Новая книга Д. Файзова пронизана голосами других поэтов. Речь не о расхожей постмодернистской центонности. Это микроинтертекстуальность на уровне конкретных слов и приемов, коллаж осколков чужих голосов, однако таких осколков, которые сохраняют способность отсылать к целому и к тому же вписаны — вклеены на манер аппликации — в узнаваемую интонацию самого поэта. Данил Файзов—поэт, культуртрегер, редактор. ...

The author in the chapter shows that until the 1760s almost all the translated “political” literature in Russia was distributed in manuscripts. Obviously the interest in political writings of one of the commissioners of translations of that type of literature, Prince Dmitrii Mikhailovich Golitsin, explains to some extent the abundance of the copies of handwritten translations ...
