THE LATIN EPITAPH OF 1718 FROM MOSCOW ZAIKONOSPASSKY MONASTERY
The article is devoted to the analysis of the epitaph of Vasilii Vygovskii of 1718, which is from Moscow Zaikonospassky monastery. A number of essential peculiarities (the structure of form, the content of the key parts, the methods of the grammatical and syntactical design of the Latin text) bring together the epitaph of Vasilii Vygovskii with the late humanistic epitaph of the first half of the XVI century and with the West European epitaph of the early modern period. The epitaph from Moscow Zaikonospassky monastery of 1718 not only emphasizes the prototypical sources of the further evolution of the Russian epitaph as a type of the epigraphical monument but also in many respects anticipates general systemic changes typical for the Russian epigraphy of the XVIII century.
