Birchbark Literacy and the Rise of Written Communication in Early Rus’
P. 225–251.
The paper discusses the origin of pragmatic writing in Early Rus’ and its relationship to the Church Slavonic tradition. The emergence of birchbark literacy in Novgorod at about 1030 is treated as a by-product of the spread of church education under the reign of Jaroslav the Wise. The intermingling of lay and ecclesiastic affairs in the life of Lyudin konec of Novgorod is shown to have produded the breeding ground for the proliferation of birchbark writing in this part of the city.

Поскольку древнерусским князьям приходилось постоянно принимать участие в походах и сражениях, идеал правителя должен был, несомненно, отражать представления о них как о воинах. Предполагаемая рядом исследователей первостепенная важность воинского образа
князей, включающего их ратные и полководческие качества, однако, не находит подтверждения среди летописных некрологов (посмертных панегириков). Эти текст конструируют посмертный образ князя, отмечая его важнейшие качества ...

В статье анализируются названия монастырей Киева домонгольского времени. Автор приходит к выводу, что наиболее широко в этот период использовались агиотопонимы ― названия, образованные от церковных праздников, которым были посвящены соборные храмы монастырей. Иногда они дополнялись указаниями
на местность, где располагались иноческие общины. Необходимость в этих географических уточнениях возрастала по мере увеличения численности киевских монастырей. Использование притяжательных антропотопонимов было ...

Статья посвящена средневековому перечню новгородских князей. Анализ его текста показывает, что разница между его разделами и частями не столь велика и происходит из-за разницы в стратегии его составителя и использованных им источниках. Этими источниками были для раздела про XI в. не дошедшая до нас летопись Новгородско-Софийской группы, стоящая ближе всего к Новгородской четвертой летописи, а для дальнейшего периода – Новгородская первая ...
