Tatishchev Information
Tatishchev information (; ) is a group of historiographical texts written by Imperial Russian historian Vasily Tatishchev (1686–1750) and posthumously published in his book ''Istoriya Rossiyskaya'' (История Российская, "History of Russia", 1768 onwards), containing information that has no analogues in currently known historical sources. Soviet historian Iakov Lur'e (1968) defined it as 'data found only in that historian', that is, in Tatishchev's writings. American historian Edward C. Thaden (1986) described "Tatishchev's information" as 'information to be found in no known Russian chronicle but only in Tatishchev'. The origin and authenticity of the information is debatable; they can be considered as fabrications of history created by Tatishchev himself. The alleged '' Ioachim Chronicle'' is considered by researchers to be the most dubious part of the Tatishchev information. Tatishchev often did not cite his sources, which required later critical historians ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Historiography Of Belarus
Historiography is the study of the methods used by historians in developing history as an academic discipline. By extension, the term "historiography" is any body of historical work on a particular subject. The historiography of a specific topic covers how historians have studied that topic by using particular sources, techniques of research, and theoretical approaches to the interpretation of documentary sources. Scholars discuss historiography by topic—such as the historiography of the United Kingdom, of WWII, of the pre-Columbian Americas, of early Islam, and of China—and different approaches to the work and the genres of history, such as political history and social history. Beginning in the nineteenth century, the development of academic history produced a great corpus of historiographic literature. The extent to which historians are influenced by their own groups and loyalties—such as to their nation state—remains a debated question. In Europe, the academic disc ...
