Ars historica sive de historiae et historices natura historiaque scribende praeceptis commentatio
Continuation of the translation of the book by the Dutch theologian, historian and philologist G. J. Vossii "The Art of Historians", started in No. 23–31 Vox. Chapter 15 deals with one of the main problems of historians: the relationship between the sequence of individual events and the truth of the overall picture. The author shows that the construction of events in one logical series on the basis of a simple linguistic sequence does not mean that they are similar in other spaces. Often outwardly similar descriptions of "glorious deeds" belong to different eras that are not directly comparable. This gives rise to the concept of a "picture of the world".
