Abstract:

The publication is a commented edition of the Moscow merchants Porokhovshchikovs’ family chronicler, discovered in the collection of Rostov antiquarian Andrey Alexandrovich Titov (1844–1911) in the Manuscripts Department of the National Library of Russia. The handwritten Notes are located on the last pages of the historical miscellanea of the second half of the 18th century from the Porkhovschikovs’ book collection. Annual records were kept from 1753 to 1803 — first by Petr Isaevich (1722–1801), and then by his son Andrey Petrovich (1771–?) Porokhovshchikov. The Notes is a typical for the merchant class of the 18th–19th centuries autobiographical work containing extensive information about the relatives and in-laws of the author, as well as about important historical events and persons. The chronicle makes it possible not only to reconstruct the social circles of the Porohovshchikovs, but also provides valuable biographical information about the Moscow and Astrakhan merchants of the second half of the 18th – early 19th centuries. This publication continues the article published in the journal “Dva veka russkoi klassiki” (“Two Centuries of Russian Classics”) and contains the results of the study of the monument.

  • Keywords: autobiographical genre, manuscript culture, merchants, family chroniclers, memorandum books.
