Inventory of the personal library of academician Evgeniy Evsigneevich Golubinsky with the inclusion of all the notes he made on books

About the unknown work of I. A. Golubtsov The authors of publications dedicated to the famous archaeographer Ivan Aleksandrovich Golubtsov and his legacy (Ya.N. Shchapov, S.N. Valk, L.V. Cherepnin, E.I. Samgina, S.A. Golubtsov) do not report anything about the first and one of his major works - “Inventory of the personal library of academician E.E. Golubinsky”. This work not only puts new facts into the hands of researchers, but also allows us to raise the question of Golubinsky’s school and its significance for a number of Russian historians. Golubinsky’s school was not only scientific: the scientist was a patriarch for the students around him, not only a history teacher, but also an example of life. Golubinsky's school consisted mainly of former students of the Kostroma Seminary. The Kostroma residents were Golubinsky’s teacher, historian A.V. Gorsky, and Gorsky’s teacher, the oldest professor of the Moscow Theological Academy (MDA) - philosopher F.A. Golubinsky (the surname itself was given to Evgeny in honor of this famous fellow countryman). They have already written about Golubinsky’s great influence on MDA professor A.P. Golubtsov, the father of I.A. Golubtsov (Golubtsov S. A. A. P. Golubtsov / Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate - 1989. - N 3. - P. 18). Another famous scientist S.A. Belokurov, until his last days, prepared the academician’s books for publication, including the last volume of “History of the Russian Church.” Another student of Golubinsky, his biographer, MDA professor S.I. Smirnov, wrote down and prepared for publication “Memoirs” (Golubinsky E.E. Memoirs. – Kostroma, 1923) of a blind teacher. His students were also historians N.F. Kapterev and N.N. Glubokovsky, who adopted from their teacher the spirit of bold, impartial, Orthodox historical criticism and creativity (Glubokovsky N.N. For thirty years (1884–1914) / At the Trinity at the Academy. - M., 1914. - P. 743.). The public nature of Golubinsky’s talent forced him to translate his research into books and break through censorship barriers, while the colossal works of his teacher Gorsky remained mainly in fragments and drafts. The students' work on the teacher's legacy for many years went along with their own research. This work became the work of not only his closest students, but also other members of the Kostroma community. Thus, the publication of Golubinsky’s “Memoirs” was carried out by S.I. Smirnov’s brother, Kostroma ethnologist Vas. Smirnov. The brother of S.A. Belokurov, Nikolai, and the children of A.P. Golubtsov, I.A., worked on Golubinsky’s legacy. and S.A. Golubtsov. Golubinsky's materials were kept in the personal archive of I.A. Golubtsov for more than 50 years. In 1965–68 they were transferred to the OR RSL, forming a significant archival fund (F.541). The academician’s students “it was clear that a publication dedicated to the description of his library with the reproduction of the notes he left on the books would be, perhaps, a more reliable and appropriate way of perpetuating his memory... To judge him... we need to take a closer look at his book” (OR RSL. F.541, K.1, D.17.). According to the will of E.E. Golubinsky, his library was to be transferred to the Moscow Theological Academy. Due to the unwillingness of the MDA library to accept it in 1912, the books remained with the executor of the academician - S.A. Belokurov, who served as a senior observer at the Moscow Main Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAMID) and treasurer of the Imperial Society of Russian History and Antiquities (OSIDR). OIDR in honor of the 50th anniversary of the scientific activity of E.E. Golubinsky “according to thought and plan” (OR RSL. F.541, K.1, D.17.) S.A. Belokurov in 1912 decided to publish an Inventory of his personal library. To prepare and edit this publication, S.A. Belokurov attracted I.A. Golubtsov, who became a freelance (“volunteer”) employee of MAMID (Golubtsov S.A. From the life of I.A. Golubtsov / Moscow Journal. - 1992. - N 11-12. - P. 73.). The inventory of Golubinsky's library and the notes he left on books provide a wealth of material for reconstructing the biography of the scientist. The “Inventory” is even more valuable for historians of the Russian Church, giving them the opportunity to communicate with its largest expert and get acquainted with the methods of his work on the book, with his approach to the formation of a library, although it should be noted that the “Inventory” does not provide a complete account of books on the history of the Russian Church (Golubinsky himself could not be satisfied with his own library, which contained about 5,000 volumes, and “he received a significantly larger number of them from academic and other libraries for temporary use and had with them the same correspondence in the form of the same notes") (OR RSL. F.541, K.1, D.17.). The library of E.E. Golubinsky, apparently located in MAMID, together with the library of S.A. Belokurov himself and the library of MAMID, was fragmented after the revolution. We discovered several hundred books de visu in the library of the Historical and Archival Institute. Golubinsky marked his books with an autograph on the flyleaf, which is often accompanied by an indication of the date of purchase or donation of the book; The text contains pencil marks and notes from the academician. Unfortunately, the “Inventory” does not describe the dedicatory inscriptions of the authors of the books themselves, which are often very interesting. The group that made up the “Inventory”, led by I.A. Golubtsov, included two MDA students, an assistant librarian of the Academy, brother I.A. - Sergey. For each book, a description was compiled on a separate sheet for the typesetters. The work was carried out for more than six years and was not easy for Golubtsov - war, revolution, personal drama (the unhappy passion of M. Krestova, who loved her brother Sergei). Printing was interrupted, apparently due to revolutionary upheavals, when more than half of the “Inventory” had already been typed. The archive contains two receipts from I.A. about receiving money for editing and printing the “Inventory” (K.7, D.5), which allows us to establish the total volume of typed text - 48 sheets, which apparently corresponds to the existing 448 typographic pages on which the printing of the “Inventory” stopped at the end of 1917. The “inventory”, partially preserved in proofs and primary descriptions for the typesetting, consists of three sections: books of the Greek, Latin and Cyrillic alphabet. The Greek section of the “Inventory” contains 273 titles, the Latin section - 520, and the Cyrillic section - about 4 thousand titles. In the collection of E.E. Golubinsky in the Department of Manuscripts of the Russian State Library there are printed sheets of the “Inventory” (448 pages) (F.541, K.15, D.4) and primary descriptions (about 2500) (F.541. K.14. D.5–22, K.15. D.1–3), from which the set was not made. There were two copies of proofs in I.A. Golubtsov’s archive. But only the first copy has been completely preserved due to his arrest in 1930 in the “Platonov” case and imprisonment and exile until 1937. About 50 pages remain of the second copy. The texts of the lost proof sheets of the first copy were restored by I.A. in 1965 in preparation for the transfer of materials to the Manuscripts Department. Of great interest is the introductory article by I.A. Golubtsov to the “Inventory”, which we were lucky enough to find in the folder entitled “Obituaries” (K.1, D.17). Studying the notes on the books allowed Golubtsov to give a vivid description of the scientific work and personality of Academician E.E. Golubinsky. At a meeting at the Institute of History dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Golubtsov, the need to publish the scientist’s unpublished works was noted. The publication of the “Inventory” would become a monument not only to Golubinsky, as intended by his students, but also to Golubinsky’s school and I.A. Golubtsov. 1. Golubtsov S.A. A.P.
