“The Visible World”: The Leiden Manuscript and Its Place Among the Russian Translations of Orbis Pictus

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: The article focusses on the manuscript stored in Leiden as a witness of Russian-German linguistic, cultural, and pedagogical transfer. The manuscript consists of three parts and contains a "linguistic" introduction, the full text of the Orbis Pictus by Jan Comenius in two languages, and a German-Russian dictionary. The authors systematized the results of previous studies of the manuscript by foreign Slavists, put forward and substantiated their own assumptions about its origin. Based on paleographic and textological analysis of the Leiden manuscript, its place among other manuscript copies of the Russian translation of Orbis Pictus was determined.
