Yes, Bodyansky left good memories on the spot, as a thorough scientist and well-acquired living dialects (Czech and Serbian, but mainly). Details about Bodyansky’s activities abroad are known. In the "Journal of M.N. Enlightenment" only two small reports of his are published (1838, I: 5 and 1839, L "8); It is known that in this magazine (1840, L "6), and later in "Readings* (1846, 1), as a result of his studies behind the graphic arts, the following were published: "On the most ancient evidence that the church language is Slavic-Bulgarian" * and "On searches in the Poznam public library."11 In the Slavic lands Bodyansky remained for almost five years. It seems that the translation of Shafariv’s Slavic Narrative, published first in Moskvityanin and then separately in Moscow, 1843, dates back to this time of his studies; a little later, we also translated “The History of Galician Rus*” by Zubrptsky (1845). Elected secretary of the Moscow Society of History and Russian Antiquities, Bodyansky published 23 books of “Readings” in three years (from 1846 - 1848), in which he tried to combine the interests of general Slavic and private Russian science. If I’m not mistaken, “Readings” was the first publication that opened the systematic printing of monuments of ancient Slavic and ancient Russian writing. These monuments were always accompanied by introductory studies that explained the peculiarities of the language and the historical and literary significance of the monuments. Many such precious works were published by Bodyansky - (Naralipomenos Zonarin, Slavic-Russian works in the collection of Tsarsky, the word of Cyril the Philosopher, etc.); but even more prepared for publication, printed, but not published for unknown reasons (Works of John Exarchus of Bulgaria, Pandects of Antiochus. Works of Constantine of Bulgaria, Temporary of Amartol, etc.); But the “Readings” of this period are especially rich in materials on the history of southern Rus': Bodyapsky’s merits in this regard are very great. There are several of his individual remarkable studies in the “Readings”, such as: “On the one-piece of the Moscow spiritual printing house and the identity of the Slavic deities Horse and Rain-God * (1846,.>• 2), “On the All-Gave Bryanis.Gavnche of Polotsk” (1847, L: 9) and many translations of Slavic studies Shafarpka, Ialatskagopdr. Under the patronage of Count Stroganov, Bodyansky published things that no one would have dared to publish, for example, “The History of the Russians,” credited. Konisekomu and the translation of the book Fletin 1873-77
Chera (in 1848). But the then minister, Mr. Uvarov was not on good terms with gr. Stroganov, and this was reflected in Bodyansky: for placing Fletcher’s translation in the Readings, Bodyansky was transferred to Kazan, and Grigorovich in his place - to Moscow. Not considering himself obligated to obey the whims of the minister, Bodyansky resigned, the minister did not accept it, the matter came to the Sovereign, and only a year later Bodyansky was returned to his previous candre. At the same time Count Stroganov, at his own expense, entrusted Bodyansky with the publication of the famous “Svyatoslav’s Collection” of 1073. Bodyansky really delayed the publication, printing a sheet a year, and sometimes less; Was it everyday worries that distracted him, the difficulty of work? — it’s hard to say. The work was really painstaking; The “Izbornik” of 1073 is entirely based on Greek sources, but some sources are unknown in the original, and Bodyansky looked for them from ancient authors. This cost him a lot of work: being very prudent by nature, Bodyansky however offered a significant cash prize to anyone who would find some passages in the work of Cyril of Jerusalem, which is in the “Izbornik”, of course, beforehand he himself carefully re-read the entire Cyril of Jerusalem... The “Izbornik” in 1875 was almost completely finished in the publication: a Slavic translation with Greek and sometimes in Latin script; Bodyansky wanted to add a long introduction to it: about the development of literature in ancient Bulgaria, a dictionary and an atlas of drawings. Why the work was not published is unknown.
From 1840 to 1858 there was a break in Bodyansky’s editorial activity; He was engaged only in professorship. Bodyansky’s course consisted of a practical section, where, after a brief grammatical introduction, there was reading of monuments: the Kraledvor manuscript, Serbian songs, “Maria” by Malchevsky. He taught this course very successfully; he offered other subjects only in fragments, so, after listening to him for even five years, I had to listen to only pieces, for example. from grammar: about dual and plural numbers, from history - the end of the history of the Baltic Slavs and the beginning of the history of Che-.
