Introduction. The written heritage of Kalmyk Buddhist priests, their daily practices, liturgical repertoire still remain a poorly studied page in the history of Buddhism among Mongolic peoples in the 20th century. The survived collections, clusters of religious texts prove instrumental in revealing most interesting aspects of their activities, efforts aimed at preservation of Buddhist teachings, their popularization and dissemination among believers. Goals. The paper examines two Oirat copies of the Precepts of the Omniscient [Manjushri] from N. D. Kichikov’s collection, transliterates and translates the original texts, provides a comparative analysis, and notes differences therein that had resulted from the scribe’s work, thereby introducing the narratives into scientific circulation. Materials. The article describes two Oirat manuscripts bound in the form of a notebook and contained in different bundles/collections of Buddhist religious texts stored at Ketchenery Museum of Local History and Lore. As is known, the collection is largely compiled from texts that belonged to the famous Kalmyk Buddhist monk Namka (N. D. Kichikov). Results. The analysis of the two Oirat texts with identical titles — Precepts of the Omniscient [Manjushri] — shows that their contents coincide generally but both the texts contain fragmented omissions (separate words, one or several sentences) that are present in the other. At the same time, when omitting fragments of the text addressed to the monastic community, the scribe was obviously guided by that those would be superfluous for the laity. Thus, our comparative analysis of the two manuscript copies demonstrates the sometimes dramatic role of the scribe in transmitting Buddhist teachings.

La referencia constante al civismo es uno de los rasgos más distintivos de la historia urbana de Pereira. Al igual que en muchas ciudades colombianas, la ideología del civismo asume la necesidad de establecer una especie de simbiosis entre la ciudad, sus espacios públicos y sus ciudadanos, tanto en lo material como en lo espiritual. En el caso de Pereira se busca identificar los aspectos más relevantes del discurso cívico que desarrollaron entidades como la Sociedad de Mejoras y el Club Rotario a través de diferentes medios escritos, poniendo especial énfasis en los valores morales que debían exhibir los ciudadanos cívicos o los "ciudadanos de bien" de la ciudad, en el proceso de transformación y modernización vivido a lo largo del siglo XX.Palabras clave: discurso, civismo, prensa, clubes y sociedades, historia local, siglo XX.The discourse of civism in Pereira, or The “sacredness” of public matters during the 20th century AbstractThe constant reference to civism is one of the most distinct characteristics of the urban history of Pereira. Similar to many Colombian cities, the ideology of civism assumes that there is a need to establish a kind of symbiosis between the city, its public spaces, and its citizens, in material as well as spiritual matters. In the case of Pereira, the author seeks to identify the most relevant aspects of the civic discourse which developed entities like the Improvement Society and the Rotary Club, through different written means, putting special emphasis on the moral values which the civic citizens (or ciudadanos de bien) must have exhibited in the process of transformation and modernization experienced throughout the 20th century. Keywords: discourse, civism, press, clubs and societies, local history, twentieth century.

Referring to a corpus of epistolary sources kept in the personal archival fund of academician V. I. Vernadsky in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences (correspondence sent to him from Crimea) and documents from the St Petersburg branch of the RAS Archive and the Department of Written Sources of the State Historical Museum, the author restores some aspects of the daily life of Crimean local history of the 1920s–1930s. Vernadsky’s attention to people and events on the peninsula are connected with a dramatic period of his biography, i.e. his unexpected tenure as rector of the University of Taurida (October 1920 — January 1921). Thanks to the participation of the university in the activities of the Taurida Scientific Association, the academician formed a social circle of scientists from different fields of knowledge in Crimea. The analysis of Vernadsky’s correspondence helps define his range of interests related to Crimean affairs after his departure from Crimea. Vernadsky, not indifferent to the fate of Taurida University (M. V. Frunze Pedagogical Institute) (during the years in question described as Crimean University), was interested in the fate of the prominent professors who he worked with at the university in 1920. Thanks to the Crimean correspondence of A. I. Markevich, the leader of the local history movement, the author has been able to clarify the fate of individual manuscripts by V. I. and G. V. Vernadsky and the history of transfer of funds of the pioneers of comprehensive exploration of the peninsula P. I. Köppen and H. H. Steven to the Archives of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The epistolary heritage of geologists P. A. Dvoichenko and S. P. Popova, Vernadsky’s former colleagues at Taurida University, makes it possible to recreate the pages of the research of the natural productive forces of Crimea carried out in those years. In his correspondence with professors E. V. Petukhov and N. L. Ernst, Vernadsky discussed individual issues that worried scientists.

Статья посвящена атрибуции коллекции графики русско-украинского художника Бориса Васильевича Смирнова, хранящейся в Новосибирском краеведческом музее. В начале XX века Б.В. Смирнов отправился в путешествие по Сибири, результатом которого стало множество рисунков, сделанных в Омске, Барабинской степи, Красноярске и Иркутске. Необходимость проведения атрибуции была вызвана тем фактом, что на произведениях обнаружились скорректированная датировка и оставленные наброски и зарисовки на обратной стороне. Следовательно, возник вопрос о корректных хронологических и географических рамках создания рисунков. В процессе исследования были задействованы архивные материалы личного дела Б.В. Смирнова, привлечены литературные произведения художника и мемуары членов его семьи. В результате атрибуции на основе комплексного подхода к исследованию изобразительных произведений с применением сравнительного и биографического методов было обнаружено, что часть работ не относится к сибирскому периоду творчества и была создана мастером после возвращения из Сибири. Атрибуция коллекции графики Б.В. Смирнова позволила уточнить время и место создания отдельных работ и в полной мере раскрыть их содержание. The paper is devoted to the attribution of the Russian-Ukrainian artist Boris Vasilyevich Smirnov’s graphics, kept in the Novosibirsk Museum of Local History. At the beginning of the 20th century, B.V. Smirnov traveled to Siberia, as a result, many drawings were made in Omsk, the Barabinsk steppe, Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk. The master's graphics, represented by portraits, landscapes and genre scenes, are important not only as an aesthetic, but also as a historical heritage, being a source of information about the population of Siberian cities lifestyles. The need for attribution was caused by the factor of corrected dating and sketches on the back of the artworks. Consequently, the question was raised about the correct chronological and geographical framework of drawings creating. The research involved archival materials of B.V. Smirnov's personal file, literary works of the artist and memoirs of his family members. As a result of attribution, based on an integrated approach to the study of fine works, using comparative and biographical methods, it was found that some of the works do not belong to the Siberian period and were created by the master after returning from Siberia. Attribution of the B.V. Smirnov graphics made it possible to specify the time and place of creation of certain works and to completely reveal their content. The attribution of the graphics by B.V. Smirnov managed to clarify the time, place of certain works creation, and fully disclose their content.

Mauritius was a British colony for almost 200 years, but except in the domains of administration and teaching, the English language was never really spoken on the island. This article traces its local history and its failure to establish itself as a replacement for French (and perhaps also the French-based creole) during the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. English is still the official language of Mauritius, but a large proportion of the population does not speak it at all or has at best a very limited knowledge of it. Nonetheless, no other language spoken on the island presents itself as a viable alternative. The historical overview and the discussion of the present situation are complemented by an analysis of the language tables taken from the population censuses of 1931 to 1990 and some data from an inquiry made by the author in the mid-seventies. To complete the study, the English influence on French and Creole is shown, and three specimens of Mauritian English as spoken by young people are given and commented on.

El estudio de las cofradías durante la Edad Moderna en la Monarquía hispánica ha sido un tema historiográfico con idas y vueltas. En el mundo peninsular toda la producción científica ha ido ligada, casi indisolublemente, a ejercicios de “historia local” y por ello, en muchos casos, fue abordado con miras muy concretas y limitadas. En cualquier caso y gracias a ello, contamos con un corpus interesante para los casos españoles. Sin embargo, si pasamos a observar la historiografía cofradiera en Indias hallaremos un conjunto de publicaciones muy reducido durante buena parte del siglo XX. Sólo en las últimas décadas se ha producido un avance importante en estos estudios americanistas y desde este progreso contamos con una base para continuar las investigaciones de esta faceta de la historia de las religiones. The study of the brotherhoods during the Modern Age in the Hispanic Monarchy has been a historiographical subject with twists and turns. In the Iberian Peninsula, scientific production has been linked, almost inextricably, to exercises of "local history". Therefore, in many cases, it was approached with very specific and limited views. In any case and thanks to this, we have an interesting corpus for Spanish cases. However, if we look at the brotherhood historiography in Latin America we will find a very small set of publications for much of the 20th century. In the last decades has there been an important advance in these Americanist studies and from this progress, we have a basis to continue investigations of this facet of the History of religions.
