Charles J. Halperin, Tverian political thought in the fifteenth century.
The pokhval'noe slovo (word of praise) to Grand Prince Boris Aleksandrovich of Tver' attributed to the monk Foma has not been correctly interpreted as an expression of Tverian political thought in the fifteenth century. First, although it does discuss the Council of Florence, it never accuses the Greeks of apostasy, and therefore its use of Byzantine Imperial epithets and titulature do not constitute an attempted translatio imperio such as is found in the Muscovite tales of the Council, or later in the theory of Moscow-the Third Rome. Secondly, Foma's careful usage suggests that the Muscovite monopoly of the myth of the Russian Land had not been broken by Muscovy's civil war, and that the more provincial concept of the Tverian Land is used by Foma in its stead. Such "land" (zemli) terminology in Old Russian political thought has not been sufficiently studied. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
