Rusʹ—Rossiia, and russkie—rossiiane, and russkii—rossiiskii in the Catalogue of the Kievan Metropolitans by St. Demetrius of Rostov

Alexander I. Grishchenko

Abstract

This article deals with the usage and combinability of words from the synonymic rows Rusʹ/Rossiia/Russiia, russkii/rossiiskii/rosskii, and russkie/rossiiane/rossy, on the basis of the Catalogue of the Kievan Metropolitans, from the early 18th c.—a little-known work on the history of the Russian Church. In the Catalogue, there are about the same number of place names using either rus- or ros- and the adjectives derived from them (a total of 32 and 37, respectively); however, there is an identifiable relationship between each adjective and a specific noun, apparently reflecting fairly stable collocations. Also, the author notes the predominance of ethnonyms with ros- and a general trend towards editing rus- to ros- in the later copies of the Catalogue and in its sole publication in 1776.

Keywords

early 18th century; Church Slavonic language; Ruthenian language; ethnonyms; historical stylistics; orthography; Demetrius of Rostov
