New manuscripts of disciples of the Likhud brothers’ circle: Moscow and Novgorod periods of activity of the Greek didaskalos

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of three Greek-Slavic manuscripts from the collections of the State Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve, the Nizhny Novgorod State Regional Universal Scientific Library, the National Library of Russia. The article reveals and proves the connection of the manuscripts with the activities of the founders of the Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy Joannicus and Sophronius Likhud, as well as their disciples at the end of the 17^th – first third of the 18^th centuries. The circle of persons whose activities could be associated with the creation of these texts is determined. The revealed textbooks represent new sources on the history of Likhuds’ schools and their disciples, expanding our knowledge about the geography of the distribution of the Likhud brothers book heritage.
