metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines the monograph by the Israeli historian M. Birman “P. Bitsilli (1879–
  1953). Life and Work”, which offers “a consolidated review of life and work” by the Russian
  and Bulgarian scholar and humanist Peter Bitsilli. It is noted that the monograph was written
  in the genre of intellectual biography, conventional for historiography, when the personal life
  and creative activities of the investigated historical figure are closely intertwined with broad
  cultural and historical contexts of the era. The article emphasizes that in contrast to the biographies
  of people of the past widespread in the scholarly literature, this narrative centres around
  a historical person, whose name remained in oblivion for more than half a century after his
  death, both in academic sphere and in historical memory. Despite the fact that the book poses
  many questions about the daily life and intellectual activity of a scholar, it does not provide the
  answers on the basis of research methods. It is not grounded on a rich source base; similarly to
  many other modern studies, the book is lacking in the information related to the considerable
  surviving number of archival documents, the materials of which would give answers to many
  questions regarding the biography of P. Bitsilli. Despite some shortcomings, omissions in the
  presentation of the material in the book, many questions posed for the first time by the author
  have been addressed and arouse genuine interest. One of the characteristic features of the
  reviewed work is its bibliographic component.
