metadata.value: The Latin influence upon Old Russian language and culture can be detected and studied at
  different levels (lexical, syntactical and phraseological). In addition to shortly discussing the
  different fates, on Russian soil, of two etymologically related words, biblija and biblioteka, this
  paper presents the particular case of an aphoristic quotation taken from the introduction to
  the Slavic translation of the Donatus. This proposal, pointing to the fundamental position of
  grammar within the system of the seven liberal arts (основание и подошва всем свободным
  хитростям — origo et fundamentum omnium liberalium artium), in later centuries has been
  referred to in different scientific works devoted to grammatical or pedagogical issues. However,
  there has not been any direct reference to the primary source and, as a consequence, these
  words have been subjected to different interpretations: from Maximus the Greek’s translation
  activity in Russia to the orthodox response to the challenge posed by Jesuit schools. The material
  collected and briefly discussed in the article points once again to the importance of taking
  into account, when approaching the tradition of Novgorod translations from Latin, not only
  the identification of the Urtext (direct tradition), but also its later reception and individual
  history (indirect tradition). Going beyond the temporal and spatial boundaries of Novgorod
  translated literature, we can examine its relevant and partially still unknown contribution to
  Russian cultural history within a broader and more stimulating perspective.
