Directory 1. Peter Houtzagers, All Birchbark Letters Online Message 1: All Birchbark Letters Online
Date: 31-Jan-2007 From: Peter Houtzagers <h.p.houtzagersrug.nl> Subject: All Birchbark Letters Online My colleague Jos Schaeken asked me to draw your attention to a website that was launched very recently and on which you can find a wealth of information on the birchbark letters from Novgorod and other Russian towns, which, as we all know, for the past few decades have been changing the face of East Slavic historical linguistics. The address of the site is http://gramoty.ru (without www). It contains not only photographs, ''prorisi'' and translations of all published birchbark letters, including recently excavated ones, but also historical, archeological, bibliographic and linguistic comments on almost every one of them. I personally think it is very impressive, not to say amazing. The site forms part of the INTAS project “Birchbark Literacy from Medieval Rus: Contents and Contexts”. You will find more information on the project and team involved in it on the site. Enjoy!
