Abstract

Many historians have questioned the accuracy of the “Tale of Ivan IV’s Campaign against Novgorod in 1570.” Cornelia Soldat now expands that critical approach to the “Tale” by arguing that it derives from German pamphlets published a century earlier. She relies upon the congruence of macro- and micro-structures to demonstrate textual influence without textual borrowing. Given the absence of Muscovite manuscripts of the “Tale” between 1570 and the second half of the seventeenth century, the composers of the “Tale” “must have” relied upon foreign sources about the raid, because no domestic sources existed. Her analysis is certainly possible, but it elides a number of issues about the transmission and translation into Russian of the German pamphlets. Reliable contemporary Muscovite sources tells us more about the “real” raid than Soldat allows. It is equally possible that the “Tale” derives from circulating native oral legends. However, the methodological and evidentiary issues Soldat raises are serious and deserve further discussion.
德国小册子、俄国编年史和伊凡雷帝
许多历史学家质疑“1570年伊凡四世攻打诺夫哥罗德的故事”的准确性。科妮莉亚·索尔达现在将这种批判方法扩展到“故事”,她认为它来自一个世纪前出版的德国小册子。她依靠宏观和微观结构的一致性来展示文本的影响而不借用文本。鉴于在1570年到17世纪下半叶之间没有莫斯科的“故事”手稿,“故事”的作曲家“一定”依赖于外国的资料,因为没有国内的资料存在。她的分析当然是可能的,但它忽略了一些关于德国小册子的传播和翻译成俄语的问题。可靠的当代莫斯科消息来源告诉我们更多关于“真正的”突袭,而不是索尔达所允许的。同样有可能的是,这个“故事”来源于流传的土著口头传说。但是,索达特提出的方法和证据问题是严重的,值得进一步讨论。

期刊介绍: Russian History’s mission is the publication of original articles on the history of Russia through the centuries, in the assumption that all past experiences are inter-related. Russian History seeks to discover, analyze, and understand the most interesting experiences and relationships and elucidate their causes and consequences. Contributors to the journal take their stand from different perspectives: intellectual, economic and military history, domestic, social and class relations, relations with non-Russian peoples, nutrition and health, all possible events that had an influence on Russia. Russian History is the international platform for the presentation of such findings.
