The elements of expert analysis established in Russian academic circles by the late nineteenth century, when auxiliary historical disciplines became an indispensable part of the academic base of historical knowledge, are described in this article with reference to a lost letter by Peter I to Georg Wilhelm de Henning sent on 24 December 1724. These elements include the study of the letter, the stages and methods of introducing it into scholarly circulation, and the assessment of its significance and value in monetary terms. It is established that the original of the letter ended up in a private collection in the early twentieth century and became inaccessible to historians. However, handwritten copies, a draft, and descriptions have survived. The article analyses the work with Peter I’s letter performed by the members of the commission for the publication of Peter the Great’s letters and papers, as well as by the first owner of the letter, N. K. Bogushevsky, the Parisian antiquarian Noël Charavay, into whose hands the letter fell a decade after its former owner’s death, and N. P. Likhachev, a prominent specialist in a number of auxiliary historical disciplines to whom the antiquary turned for an expert opinion. While researching the copies and descriptions of Peter I’s letter, the authors used traditional methods of expert analysis of the missing original found in the collections of St Petersburg Institute of History (Russian Academy of Sciences), the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts, and the National Archives of France. Referring to handwritten materials from the Russian State Archive of Literature and Arts, the Russian State Library, and sales catalogues, the authors carry out a brief analysis of the Western European and Russian antiques market in the late nineteenth – early twentieth centuries in relation to Russian documents from the eighteenth century (prices and demand). The attribution of authenticity to historical documents (including the first Russian emperor’s autographs) was not only an issue of the reliability of historical knowledge or academic interest, but also one of reputation of connoisseurs, collectors, antiquarians, and the experts they turned to. At the same time, reputation helped ensure the quality of expertise and was a tool for raising this through horizontal connections within the professional community.

The article describes the history of appearance of the Baron Ginzburg Collection in the holdings of the Russian State Library. This Collection of Jewish and Arabic books and manuscripts of Baron Ginzburg is considered to be one of the treasures of the Russian State Library. The manuscript part of the Collection consists of 1913 units of the 14th - 19th centuries. In 2010 the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu during the official visit to the Russian Federation raised the issue of transfer of the Ginzburg Collection to Israel “as a reciprocal gesture of good will” (the building of St. Sergius Metochion in Jerusalem was returned to the Russian Federation at the end of 2008). The search of documents relating to the fate of the Baron Ginzburg Collection in Russia held in the Russian archives produced unexpected results. After the First World War the Society of Friends of the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem (JNUL), created in London, got interested in the Ginzburg Collection. At the beginning of the 1920s representatives of JNUL claimed that Baronesse M. Ginzburg has been paid in advance and there has been drawn the act of purchase and sale of the Collection. However they did not submit any documents which could confirm the version of sale of the Collection. By that time books and manuscripts were nationalized as scientific treasures and got held at the Rumyantsev Museum. The Museum leadership and Soviet Jewish community objected the idea of transfer of the Collection. Director of JNUL G. Leve appealed to V. Lenin, to A. Lunacharsky, the People’s Commissar of Education, and to other leaders of the Soviet Russia to solve the matter concerning the transfer of the Collection to Jerusalem. The request was supported by the famous scientist Albert Einstein. His letters to A. Lunacharsky are published for the first time.

Of particular interest was the pontificate of Leo XIII. The new emphasis of the foreign policy of the Curia, initiated by him, provided for the establishment of friendly relations with the Russian Empire. In this regard, the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences intensified the study of the history of the papacy. In the end, she published a number of interesting documents, edited by E.F. Shmurla (for the period from the creation of the centralized Russian state until the death of Peter I), A. Turgenev (2 volumes, 1841-1842), A. Popov (1845-1850). In Soviet historiography, the study of the history of Vatican-Russian relations in the nineteenth century. engaged M. Sheiman, E. Adamov.
