In the Footsteps of M.S. Koutorga, the First Russian Explorer of Boiotia
Teiresias (Canada). 2019. No. 49.1. P. 1–19.
The article is devoted to the work of the famous Russian researcher of Greece, Mikhail Semyonovich Koutorga (1809-1886), who made a scientific journey to Greece in 1860-1861 and in 1874 published some of the results in the volume work “Plataiai: an Excerpt from a Journey to Greece” in the “Russkiy Vestnik” journal. This work is little known in Russia and, probably, practically unknown abroad. It presents not only the results of juxtaposing the terrain with the course of the battle of Plataiai in 479 BC, but also a wealth of factual material on the topography of the Plataiai region, as well as on the etymology of a number of geographical names. This work indicates that regarding Boiotia, the Russian science of the 60s-70s of the 19th century took into account the latest research, and Koutorga himself outlined a number of areas for the further research of Plataiai.

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) ...

Over the past five years, several monumental commentaries on Genesis 1–11 have been published, offering new—and sometimes mutually ...

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.

Статья посвящена особенностям исторической памяти в описании Платейского региона Михаилом Семеновичем Куторгой в журнале «Русский вестник» М.Н. Каткова за 1874 г. Эта публикация давно стала не только библиографической редкостью, но и оставалась до недавне- го времени забытой в отечественной историографии, и, видимо, совершенно неизвестной в западной. Такая ситуация произошла оттого, что М.С. Куторга, начиная по ...

Исследования выдающегося ученого античности М. С. Куторги в Беотии соответствовали передовому европейскому научному уровню середины XIX столетия.
Не в последнюю очередь этому способствовал «критический метод», который М. С. Куторга воспринял еще во время обучения в Дерпте, а затем и в Берлине. Главным
залогом успеха в исследовании Беотии можно считать обусловленный знакомством
с западной литературой по топографии Греции выбор ...
