“The Elixir of Life” and Other Beverages (From the Experience of Reading 18th-Century Manuscripts). – A considerable portion of 18th century Russian manuscripts consists of texts on the estate economy. The Russian nobility adopted the German tradition of Hausväterliteratur. Within this tradition, the “Liefländische Oeconomia” by S. Hubert remains a preeminent example. The Russian nobles considered it necessary to have reference books on medicine, veterinary science, and agronomy. A common feature of these texts is the inclusion of various recipes for vodka. A close analysis of such recipes, however, reveals that they were likely more decorative than functional; they could hardly have been used to make the drink.
