Author(s):  
Ф.М. ТАКАЗОВ

Статья посвящена одному из циклов нартовского эпоса осетин – циклу Сослана / Созырыко. Сюжетно-мотивный состав цикла Сослана разнообразен и многовариантен. Некоторые сюжеты можно считать типическими: рождение героя из камня, закалка, воспитание в подводном царстве, борьба с великанами, добывание жены, путешествие в загробный мир. Однако некоторые мотивы встречаются только в цикле Сослана. Так, например, закалку у небесного кузнеца Курдалагона проходят многие герои, однако только Сослан был закален в волчьем молоке. Основной нарративный материал в цикле Сослан отражает следующие мотивы и сюжеты: рождение Сослана из оплодотворенного или Уастырджи, или Сайнаг-алдаром, или пастухом камня на берегу реки; закалка Сослана в волчьем молоке; дары небожителей Сослану и нартам; Сослан спасает от гибели Уруз- мага; Сослан ищет сильнейшего; женитьба Сослана; Сослан терпит поражение и с его спины срезают полоску кожи; Сослан заставляет нартовских невесток сшить ему шубу из скальпов и усов убитых им мужей; Сослан захватывает крепость Гори / Хыз; Сослан отгоняет стада нартов на земли сыновей Тара, которых одолевает хитростью; Сослан притворяется мертвым, чтобы ввести в заблуждение врага; Сослан побывал в Царстве мертвых. В одних сюжетах Сослан выступает в роли культурного героя, в других – выпол- няет социальные функции (предводителя в походах), в третьих – отражаются инициаци- онные мифы, в которых Сослан выступает в роли инициируемого. The article is devoted to one of the cycles of the Narts’ epic of the Ossetians – Soslan / Sozyryko cycle. The subject-motive composition of the cycle of Soslan is diverse and multivariate. Some plots can be considered typical: the birth of a hero made of stone, hardening, being raised in the underwater kingdom, the struggle with giants, winning a wife, a journey into the underworld. However, some motifs are found only in Soslan cycle. For example, many heroes were hardened by the celestial blacksmith Kurdalagon, but only Soslan was tempered in wolf ’s milk. The main narrative material in Soslan cycle reflects the following motifs and plots: the birth of Soslan from the stone fertilized by either Wastirdji, Sainag-aldar or a shepherd on the bank of a river; hardening of Soslan in wolf ’s milk, gifts of the celestials to Soslan and Narts; rescuing Uruzmag; Soslan is looking for the strongest; Soslan’s marriage; Soslan suffers defeat and a strip of skin is cut off from his back; Soslan makes Narta’s daughters-in-law sew him a fur coat from the scalps and the whiskers of the husbands killed by him; Soslan captures the fortress of Gori / Hyz; Soslan takes the herds of the Narts to graze them on the lands of the sons of Tara, whom he overcomes by cunning; Soslan pretends to be dead in order to mislead the enemy; he visits the kingdom of the dead. In some plots Soslan acts as a cultural hero, in others - performs social functions (leader in campaigns), the third group of plots reflect initiation myths in which Soslan is the subject of initiation.

The various published biographies and biographical notices of G.I. Gurdjieff (c.1865-1949) are of diverse style, quantity and content. While some have made considerable contributions to the subject, most attempts have reacted for or against Gurdjieff’s status as what might call an ‘Enlightened Master’. Little biographical writing on Gurdjieff has questioned the scope, reliability and prejudices of the sources. Further, possible resources have been neglected. The development in Gurdjieff’s ideas is often overlooked, his life is not sufficiently related to that development, and the lack of comparative research has failed to highlight Gurdjieff’s unique contributions. This article is structured in four parts. The first is an introduction, followed by an overview of existing biographical studies of Gurdjieff. The third part addresses bias in these studies, and this is followed by suggestions for future studies. It is concluded that fieldwork regarding the biography of Gurdjieff has been hampered by imperfect methodology. However, with better use of the source material, some of which has only recently been discovered, and a rigorous use of sources, a more balanced and nuanced picture of Gurdjieff’s life, and the development of his ideas and methods, should emerge.

Abstract This paper analyzes canon 3 of the council of Pisa of 1135, with which the trade in persons is prohibited, pointing out that this prohibition must be considered valid also for the sale of inhabitants of Corsica, be they men or women. After having drawn up a general overview of the council, it will focus on the text of the third canon to understand the reasons that led the council fathers to deal with the subject of slavery, firmly defending the Corsican population, considered as a “minority” victim of a political and economic system. As we will try to show, the text of this canon is a unicum of its kind and is fully inserted within the panorama of the Church’s teaching on the subject of slavery, adding a new piece to the mosaic of what was already known about the work of the ecclesiastical institution on this subject.
