On the Textual History of the Book of Conversations by Archpriest Avvakum
K istorii teksta "Knigi besed" protopopa Avvakuma
Résumé
The article discusses the Book of Conversations, one of the lifetime collections of the writings by Archpriest Avvakum, compiled by the author himself. In default of a scholarly publication of the entire text, many questions remain open, such as establishing the dates of each conversation and of the collection as a whole. Analysing the new version of the first conversation, preserved in the manuscript from E. V. Barsov’s collection (the Russian State Library), makes it possible to identify the fragments of the text remaining unpublished up until now. These permit to take a fresh look at some episodes of persecution of early Old Believers
