Summary
[edit]DescriptionRussian Birch Bark Inscription.PNG |
English: Tracing of an eleventh-century Russian letter incised on birch bark.
The language is the Old Novgorod dialect of the Old East Slavic language. The alphabet is ancient Cyrillic. About a thousand such birch-bark documents have been excavated in Novgorod, Russia, and some other historical towns since 1951. They have provided information not only on the vernacular language of the time, but also about the ways and mores of Russians at a time when the country was in the throes of being Christianized. |
