Description

The idea of creating the "Encyclopedia of Slavic Philology" was born in the 1890s, but its realization began only in the middle of the first decade of the twentieth century. In total, 8 issues of the 12 planned were published. Ignatii Vikentievich Jagić was an outstanding Austrian and Russian Slavic philologist, linguist, palaeographer and archaeographer. An academician of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, he was one of the leading experts in Slavic linguistics in the second half of the 19th century. In 1893 the idea of publishing a Slavic encyclopedia occurred to him. A series of encyclopedia issues was planned with the participation of various authors, edited by and with the direct involvement of Jagić. According to the plan approved by the Department, the encyclopedia was to consist of a general introduction and three main sections: the first - the linguistic part, which was to include material on Slavic languages and dialects; the second (the historical-literary part) - relating to the history of Slavic literatures; and the third (the ethnographic part) - relating to the everyday life of the Slavic peoples. The best experts in their fields, specialists on each particular question, were invited to take part.
