Kazus. Individual and unique in history. Almanac, 2010-2013

The tenth anniversary release of the Almanac offers readers three large blocks of problems. In the first section, we are talking about complex relationships that develop between the various creators of a particular historical document: a scribe - both an artist or a miniaturist, the author - and his reader, the author - and his scribe. The heroes of the second heading are political "conspirators", and with them the creators of various "theories of conspiracy", which are often invented, but feeding the minds of representatives of various eras. The authors of the third section are trying to unravel almost insoluble puzzles that sometimes present to us sources, and think about the limits of our knowledge about the past. The theoretical section concludes almanac. In it, about the possibilities of "incidental" thinking, about the microhistry and its origins are reflected by the guests of the Casus: historian and sociologist, representatives of the French school of Annals. For historians and a wide range of readers
