Ідея премудрості у повісті про хрещення княгині Ольги та її поїздку до Константинополя (Idea of Wisdom in the Tale About Сonversion of Princess Olga into Christianity and Her Visit to Constantinople)

Стилістична та концептуальна єдність фрагментів, присвячених у «Повістях минулих літ» хрещенню княгині Ольги, її мудрості і християнським чеснотам, дозволяє розглядати їх як складові частини первісно цілісного твору, автором якого міг бути Ярослав Мудрий. Характерною особливістю зазначеного тексту є своєрідне композиційне поєднання сюжету про візит київської княгині до Константинополя з філософською темою премудрості та запозиченнями з Книги Приповістей Соломонових та апокрифічної Книги Премудрості Соломона. (Stylistic and conceptual unity of the fragments, given in Povjesti vremennych let under the years 6463 (955) and 6477 (969) as articles, dedicated to Princess Olga`s conversion into Christianity and to glorification of her wisdom, allows to reconsider the opinion of A. A. Schachmatov, that the legend about Olga`s conversion into Christianity in Constantinople was included in the chronicle by the redactor of 1093, who, as the researcher supposed, also enriched the tale by the quotations of Solomon`s Book of the Parables, taken from Paroimejnyk. The closer textological examination of the mentioned articles shows that the glorification of Princess Olga in both of them represents the parts of the primarily coherent Tale, composed, if to pay attention to the quotations, concerning the idea of Wisdom, at the time of building and consecration of St. Sophia cathedral and the literary activity of the enlighted circle of Jaroslav the Wise. At the same time the Tale in its both fragments is marked by the tendency of its evidently laic author to represent the mission of Princesse Olga in Constantinople not so in the purely ecclesiastical aspect (as it was made by the author of «Olga`s Life» in Prolog or by the author of the text, later integrated in the «Memory and Glory of Russian Prince Volodymyr»), but first and foremost in the aspect of her equal autocratic state role in relation with the Byzantine empire as the capital of Christian Orthodoxy. The particular character of the reintegrated text, which author could be Jaroslav the Wise, consists in the coherent composition of the legendary description of Olga`s visit to Constanitnople and her reception by Constantine the Porphyrogenitus with the philosophical theme of Wisdom in the biblical Book of the Parables of Solomon and the apocryphal Solomon`s Book of Wisdom.

Masculine crusaders, effeminate Greeks, and the female historian: relations of power in Sir Walter Scott's Count Robert of Paris

Gender employed as a methodological lens in the analysis of historical fiction can help to reveal implicit or explicit evaluative statements. It is deployed here to examine hierarchies in the military, political and cultural context of the encounter between ‘virile’ Westerners and ‘effeminate’ Greeks in Sir Walter Scott’s last novel, Count Robert of Paris (1831), which is set in Constantinople at the start of the First Crusade (1096-7). Scott’s depiction of Westerners and Orientalized Greeks is set against the geopolitical concerns of the author’s own time. The gendered perspective through which Scott constructs relationships in Count Robert makes it clear that the ancestors of modern Britain and France must control the East, represented here by the Byzantine Greeks. On the other hand, Scott’s ambivalent and fluctuating portrayal of the twelfthcentury historiographer Anna Comnena as a fictional character in the novel reveals his own uncertain stance between rejection and admiration of the female historian, as well as a more complex approach to gender dynamics in times of change
