Analysis of References as a Method of Studying Scientific Connections on Example of Works of O.A. Dobiash-Rozhdestvenskaia (1874–1939)

摘要

This paper will explore the theme of using analysis of references as a method of studying scientific connections. We will show, how exactly this method can be used when studying works of Russian historians of the late XIX – early XX centuries. In this paper we will analyze a work by a remarkable Russian historian and paleographer O. A. Dobiash-Rozhdestvenskaia named “Western pilgrimages in the Middle Ages”. Through the references in this work we will learn, which studies have had the most impact on Dobiash-Rozhdestvenskaia when she was writing her work. We will also research these studies and their authors, their perception of history and scientific background. The results of our analysis will help us to make some conclusions regarding the influence of French and German historiographical traditions on Russian science.
