The article is devoted to the biography of the Polish traveller and diplomat Marcin Broniowski (d. 1592), author of Tartariae descriptio (1578), a classic description of early modern Crimea. While working on the article, I discovered a number of previously unknown Polish sources relating to the diplomat's biography. This allowed me to reconstruct Marcin Broniowski's biography and the chronology of his visits to Crimea. I also analyse the main early modern editions and translations of Tartariae descriptio, as well as its influence on the history of European geographical thought.
Евреи и старообрядцы — две общности, сыгравшие важную роль
в отечественной истории, и одновременно испытавшие на себе
репрессивное давление со стороны как Российской империи,
так и Советского Союза. Книга Михаила Кизилова и Григория
Бондаренко — одна из первых попыток всестороннего анализа
межконфессионального и межкультурного диалога между этими
двумя группами в XVIII–X XI веках. Как евреи переходили в старообрядчество? Как совершались смешанные браки? Как старообрядцы помогали евреям спастись во время Холокоста? И что из себя
представляли конфликты между представителями этих двух сообществ? Ответы на данные вопросы авторы находят в опубликованных и архивных письменных источниках, а также многочисленных
интервью, проведенных в еврейских и старообрядческих общинах на
территории бывшей Российской империи и СССР (Россия, Украина,
Беларусь, Молдова, Приднестровье, Латвия). Михаил Кизилов — историк, востоковед, специалист по истории и культуре евреев, доктор философии (Оксфорд), сотрудник Университета им. Иоганна
Гутенберга в Майнце (Германия). Григорий Бондаренко — кандидат
исторических наук, магистр философии (Оксфорд), преподаватель
Пекинского столичного педагогического университета (Китай), прихожанин Тверской старообрядческой общины храма во имя святителя Николы Чудотворца в Москве.

David Shrayer-Petrov came across the East European Karaites and their historical legacy in varied times (from 1941/3 to 1984) and in various geographical regions: in the Urals, Leningrad, Moscow, the Crimea, and Lithuania. The Karaites and picturesque myths surrounding the formation of their ethnic identity (from rigorous non-Talmudic Jews to the people with bogus Turkic identity based on several pseudo-scholarly theories) produced a very strong impression on the writer. This is why the Karaites appear in many publications of Shrayer-Petrov, fictional and non-fictional alike. The Karaite theme is mentioned in the novel “Herbert and Nelli” (“Gerbert i Nelli”), short stories “Strannyi Danya Rayev,” (“Strange Danya Rayev”) and “The Love of Akira Watanabe” (“Lubov’ Akiry Vatanabe”), and also in the novel “Istoriia moei vozlublennoi, ili Vintovaia lestnitsa” (“The History of my Beloved, or Spiral Staircase”). The writer several times referred to his first, rather dramatic encounter with the Karaite Babukh (Babakay?) in the village of Siva in 1941/3 and described his trips to the Karaite community of Trakai (1978 and 1984). The writer’s personal contacts with Nikolai Gumilev with his extravagant theories about the Judaized Khazars and their descendants prompted Shrayer-Petrov to include a discussion of Gumilev’s and his adversaries’ ideas into his novel “Herbert and Nelli”. Karaite history was closely related to personal biographies of two famous Soviet poets with whom the writer had friendly relations – Ilya Selvinsky and Genrikh Sapgir. He also forced foci of his short story “The Love of Akira Watanabe” discuss Samurai armor kept in the Karaite ethnographic exhibition in Trakai. Finally, he many times used the motif of “karaimskie pirozhki” (Karaite meat pies) – not simply as a part of Karaite traditional cuisine, but as something bringing flavor of the past, of the Crimea and Trakai – places with large Karaite communities.
