Неканонические имена белого духовенства в истории русского языка
Budennaya E., Русская речь 2026 Т. 4 С. 57–78
This study analyzes non-calendar and hypocoristic Christian names within the Russian white clergy. It identifi es two active periods of name formation using Slavic hypocoristic suffi xes: the 11th — 14th centuries (peaking in the 12th) and the 16th — 17th centuries. The fi rst period is tied to the general adoption of Christian names, where diminutive forms acted ...

Гипокористические имена на -ец- в древнерусском языке
Budennaya E., Slovĕne 2026 Т. 1 С. 31–67
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) ...

Рассказ о Вавилонской башне (Быт 11:1–9). Новый перевод и комментарий
Seleznev M., Луппова А. А., Вестник Свято-Филаретовского института 2026 Т. 18 № 1(57) С. 10–35
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 ...

Seleznev M., Vestnik Drevnei Istorii 2026 Vol. 3 No. 86 P. 589–592
The article reconstructs the 'biography' of an alleged (in fact, non-existent) fragment of 4QDeutq said to contain a non-Masoretic reading of Deut 32 : 8. It traces how erroneous references to the fragment emerged during the preliminary publication of the Scrolls in the 1950s, the scholarly attention this fragment received, its eventual disappearance from Qumran studies after the official ...

The paper is devoted to the variable number marking in Shughni nouns and reports the results of corpus and experimental studies. In some languages, including Shughni, the marking of plural nouns is not compulsory. Many factors such as animacy, referentiality, morphological and semantic properties, or syntactic position may determine the presence or absence of number marking. The corpus study investigates ...

Nomos e poikilía dell'Essere. Genesi metafisica del molteplice. Una deduzione schellinghiana
Dezi A., Sesto San Giovanni: Mimesis, 2026.
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 ...

Файзов Д., М.: Новое литературное обозрение, 2026.
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. ...

Arund. 520, and several later copies—and analyze their textual relationships, variant readings, and codicological features. They demonstrate ...

Musical notation has enjoyed universal recognition for centuries, whereas dance notation has remained comparatively underdeveloped and conceptually challenging. As a kinetic and embodied art form, dance requires a system of notation capable of reflecting its visual, affective, and technical dimensions while at the same time meeting the normative demands of stage practice. The first serious ...

A Note on Pliny the Elder (HN 9. 126)
Shumilin M., Classical Quarterly 2025 Vol. 75 No. 1 P. 516–519
The article argues for an emendation in Plin. HN 9.126. Modern editors are accustomed to print the text cum testa uiuas, adopting J. Hardouin’s conjecture for cum terra uitis, the reading transmitted in most manuscripts. Nevertheless, the overlooked manuscript reading contritis conchis allows us to deduce a palaeographically neater solution contritis if conchis is considered a gloss which entered the text. ...

In the article, the question of the approach to conjectural intervention is discussed in the context of the new edition of Pliny the Elder. It is suggested that conjectural approach should not be automatically rejected but that in each case a balanced judgement is in order as to whether the transmitted text can stand and ...

The article considers apparently problematic lines in Francesco Filelfo’s (1398–1481) epic poem Sphortias (1451–1473) as published in the editio princeps by Jeroen De Keyser (2015). Although the edition is clearly based on an accurate and attentive work with the manuscripts, there still remain places there that beg further questions. I suggest that they divide in ...

In the notes a set of conjectural solutions to the textual problems in three passages of Pliny the Elder’s Natural history is porposed (Plin. NH praef. 4, 7.1 and 7.16). Several factors contribute to the need to reconsider the standard text in these places: the number of scholars who set to look for new textual solutions in Pliny ...
