metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article offers an analysis of ethical concepts in Russian religious-didactic literature of the
  17th century. The main sources are alphabets published in Moscow. There were two alphabets
  printed by Vasily Burtsov, and an alphabet by Karion Istomin, as well as “Azbuka s oratsiey”
  (Alphabet with Didactics), and the manuscript “Alfavititsy didaskala” (Small Alphabet of a
  Teacher). These alphabets can be considered as religious-didactic literature because in addition
  to grammar, these manuals included the narration “On the Letters” by Chernorizets Hrabar
  (Hrabar, the Black Robe Wearer), extensive religious-anthropological reasoning, prayers,
  the Credo, Decalogue (in the Alphabet by Karion Istomin only), the Beatitudes, and other
  texts which were presented in Catholic catechisms of that time, as well as in the “Profession of
  Faith” by Peter Mogila (he used the Catholic catechism in his “Profession”). The influence of
  Reformation ideas is obvious, too. Several works by Karion Istomin, the alphabet primarily,
  were written and illustrated under the influence of “Orbis sensualium pictus” by John Amos
  Comenius, the last bishop of the Unity of Brethen (Bohemian or Moravian Church). The content
  of these manuals (including visual content) allows us to conclude that their mass publication
  was induced by the disciplinary revolution that began after the end of the Smuta (the
  Time of Troubles) in Russia, which is associated with the House of the Romanovs coming to
  power. The creation of a new tsardom was impossible without new people whose education
  was based on religious ideas and regulations. Ethical concepts in these books were almost
  inseparable from religious regulations, which is explained by the doctrinal aims of primary
  education in Russia of the 17th century.
