The second issue of the fourth volume is published
The second issue of the fourth volume of Graphosphaera (2024. Vol. 4. № 2) is now published.
The issue comprises papers dedicated to various forms of writing down events with year dates, from archaic inscriptions, via annals and chronicles, to bureaucratic or religious records. Some of the papers tackle problems of the methods of work of annalists and of designation of years. Subjects vary from ancient Greece and Maya to Soviet Russia, including many dedicated to medieval societies of Europe and the Near East. A commented translation of a Chinese 13th-century source and two notes presenting new readings of Old Rus inscriptions are also included into the volume.
