Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the collection of historical anecdotes about Peter the Great by J. Shtelin (1709—1785), first published in 1785 in German in Leipzig. It is proved that historical anecdotes (about Peter the Great) as a genre of literature appeared in Russia in the second half of the 1730s. According to the author, they appeared on the basis of the stories about Peter the Great that were widespread in society. It is reported that the first collection of historical anecdotes about Peter the Great created by Jakob Shtelin is a collection of 34 anecdotes from 1744. It is note

Abstract:
The problem of the development of a small literary genre of historical anecdote in Russia in the second half of the 18th century is researched. The question is raised on the manuscript of the translation of “Genuine anecdotes about Peter the Great” by Academician J. Shtelin (1709—1785) into Russian, which was made by the famous person of the Age of Enlightenment A. A. Nartov (1736/1737—1813) in 1785. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the article is the first study of the manuscript, which remained unpublished and was not the subject of research. It is proved that Nartov’s tran

Abstract:
The article offers an analysis of historical anecdotes, or biographical legends, dedicated to St. Dimitry of Rostov. These texts were discovered in the collection No. 828 in the Rostov Museum. Like most historical legends about outstanding personalities of the 18th century, they differ significantly from modern folklore and literary anecdotes. However, they do possess the features characteristic of the term anecdote as a moralizing unfamiliar story about an amazing act, often with an unexpected ending. A claim to historicity and a connection with historiography were their hallmark. Most of the

Abstract:
The article is an attempt to determine to what degree historical anecdotes can be used in scientific historical research. Several selected anecdotes relating to denominational and religious issues occurring in the Taken Lands at the end of the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century are analyzed. The author shows that this type of information can only be of a supporting nature in scientific research. Nevertheless, they cannot be omitted because they are valuable research material for the personal characteristics of given historical figures.

Abstract:
Abstract Scholars have recently advocated for the inclusion of anecdotes in historical research, which they say can add a type of “truth,” even if that truth is factually unverifiable, to their subjects. This article argues that anecdotes need to be read in light of hard evidence, and that scholars need to remain aware of how anecdotes contain the potential to perpetuate non-inclusive cultural narratives. Many anecdotes relayed about Restoration and eighteenth-century English actresses violate factual circumstances and reinscribe antifeminist narratives in their careers and lives. Using Elizab

A number of historical anecdotes about the great Russian commander Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov are considered in the article. Attention is focused on the fact that many of the named sources are not supported by documents, but are actively used by some authors when creating the biography of A. V. Suvorov. It is shown in the article that over time, the narratives built on the basis of historical anecdotes have undergone significant changes, they help reconstruct the key moments of the commander’s life and characterize his personality traits.

abstract: This article argues that anecdotes about Roman generals plundering foreign libraries were a type of Roman origin story that gained traction among imperial authors writing about the republican past. Scholars have traditionally treated these anecdotes as historical sources that document not only the beginnings of Roman literary, scientific, and book history, but also Rome's ability to transform military victory into cultural and intellectual conquest. Adopting a different approach, I argue that anecdotes about plundered libraries were a means by which imperial authors contested the ext

The paper presents an analysis of the persuasive use of the narrative in the Lüshi Chunqiu using approaches of rhetoric narratology and rhetorical criticism. Twenty-one narratives are identified as vehicles of indirect persuasion and put on the mimetic and thematic scales to show how their relation to reality and history corresponds to their rhetorical use in discourse. Three of those narratives, exhibiting typical traits of historical anecdotes, are analysed in detail in their original context, to prove their parabolic function.

Historical anecdotes can be a powerful tool to address gaps in our knowledge of the past.

The present essay addresses the analysis of three fragments from the Tango no kuni fudoki (Record of the Tango province and its customs), which have reached us indirectly through various mediaeval sources. The Tango no kuni fudoki is one of the provincial chronicles compiled in response to Queen Genmei’s edict in 713. Although these three fragments do not provide a complete understanding of the original text, they offer insights into certain anecdotes closely tied to the narrative of the ancient province.

Jewish anecdotes reflect the changes over the course of history that have occurred in Bohemia and Moravia in the field of personal names of local Jews. Unlike the rest of the population, Jews could not freely choose any given names, as they were restricted by an official list (1788–1867). After a short period of freedom, another list of permitted names was brought by the Nazi regime (1938). Jewish anecdotes comment on the choice, the use, and changes of names as well as on the names themselves. They represent an important historical and documentary source.

The concept of proof testing engineering structures has its origins in antiquity. The pre-commissioning hydrostatic test (also known as the pre-service pressure test) has been an important part of the process of commissioning a newly constructed pipeline for over 50 years, since its beginnings in the 1950s in the USA. The purpose of the hydrotest is several-fold: to prove the leak tightness of the pipeline system at a pressure above the design pressure, as a strength (proof) test to identify (fail) defects and sub-standard pipe, and to prove a safety margin above the pipeline design pressure.
