BUKOVNICA 1592: A RANGE OF REFERENCES
The article is dedcated to a hand-written treatise “Bukovnica” of Gerasim Vorbozomsky in the collection of 1592 (Russian State Library, f. 173.1, № 35, pp. 130-235), who remained out of the attention of researchers and hadn't been mentioned in fundamental works of Slavic-Russian philological tradition. Through a comparative analysis the article reveals the orientation of this treatise on a number of orthographic and grammatical guides on the conceptual and formal levels. Particular attention is paid to the study of complex quotations, taken by the author from the Holy Scripture, the creations of the Church fathers, and other types of text to justify ideas proclaimed in Bukovnica 1592. The results of the study allow to set the references used by the author, while working on his dictionary.
