Academician A. Gippius - a famous linguist and textologist, specialist in the history of the Russian language, writing, literature and culture of medieval Rus', the history of ancient Russian chronicle, textology of ancient Russian literature, comprehensive source studies. Researcher and publisher of birch bark letters and monuments of ancient Russian epigraphy. In the year he defended his thesis “Linguistic and Textological study of the Synodal List of the Novgorod First Chronicle”, in the year he defended his doctoral dissertation “History and structure of the Old Russian text of the XI-XIV century.

As a scientist A. Hippius remains faithful to the interests that formed in his student years. B. Uspensky and A. Zaliznyak consider his teachers, also owes many university courses and communication with G. Khaburgaev, V. Zhivov, O. The subject of his research - the language and writing of ancient Rus' in its various forms: from canonical monuments to birch bark letters and graffiti, scratched on the plaster of temples.

Early works are devoted to the linguistic situation of Ancient Rus', the grammatical norms of early East Slavic writing, morphology of the Old Russian and Church Slavonic languages. The main scientific results of A. Hippius: - based on the original methodology of linguistic and textological reconstruction, the history of the text of the Novgorod first annals is restored; - a new scheme of the manuscript tradition of the story of the temporary years and the texts of the initial Russian chronicle is justified; - The history of the addition of the complex of works of Vladimir Monomakh was reconstructed; - the history of the text of the “Russian non-infinitive” life of Nikolai Miroliki and its editing in Moscow and South-West Rus' has been restored; - The texts of the ancient Russian birch bark letters from the excavations of the GG are published and linguistic.

Gippius is engaged in the early Old Russian chronicle, operating simultaneously with traditional textological and linguistic data, that is, acting at the junction of two disciplines. In the candidate dissertation, he investigated the history of the central monument of the chronicle of Veliky Novgorod - the Novgorod first annals of the NPL. Gippius compiled the “linguistic atlas” of the oldest synodal list of NPL, marking it on 76 formal signs - both linguistic and paleographic and stylistic.

The markup allowed to divide the text into segments, the boundaries between which in most cases coincided over the years of the change of Novgorod archbishops. This was a vivid confirmation of the rustic bishop's nature of the Novgorod annals, which was created a year after year consistently replaced each other chronicles. A. Hippius also applied the linguistic tools to the text of the time of the time years, demonstrating the language differences between the individual layers of the text of the initial annals, which arose by editing and spreading the original ancient “nucleus”.

Linguistic evidence received the Acad hypothesis. The adequacy of the general approach of A. Shakhmatov to the initial Old Russian chronicle aimed at stratification, stratification was also confirmed. Working in the line of the Shakhomatovsk approach and at the same time, in many respects revising the conclusions of Shakhmatov, A. Gippius substantiated his own understanding of the history of the addition of the editorial offices of PVL and the announcement of the annalistic monuments.

A look at the structure of the original Old Russian “complex” text as a projection of its history is also inherent in the work of A. with support on language facts, violations of the connectedness of the text and other manifestations of its heterogeneity A. Gippius interprets the obscure or not quite clear fragments of ancient Russian monuments, determines their compositions, multi -time layers, etc.

The most important place among objects of scientific classes A. Hippius occupies birch bark letters. For the first time having arrived in Novgorod in Gippius for many years he worked with an outstanding linguist Acad. On the ground and the largest researcher of Novgorod Rus Acad. Together with them, he prepared two volumes of the serial publication “Novgorod letters on birch bark from excavations, gg.

Having perceived from V. Yanin the methodology of complex source studies, and from A. Zaliznyak - the principles of linguistic analysis of the ancient Russian text, A. Hippius continues the work of his teachers, publishing birch bark letters from current excavations.His theoretical contribution to Berestology is a study of the communicative structure of birch bark documents.

Gippius first described the communicative heterogeneity of birch bark letters in which can be converted to two people at once, and the transition from the fragment addressed to one, to the text addressed to the other, can occur imperceptibly. These studies allowed A. Hippius to draw a number of conclusions regarding the inner life of medieval Novgorod. The previously unknown for the XII century was clearly identified.

New details and previously familiar to scientists of the rivalry of the two most important boyar groups of Novgorod - Prussian and Nereevskaya - which was expressed even in things such as the construction of temples, the manufacture of precious vessels, the removal of relics, etc. were clarified. A. Classes cited A. Classes with birch bark letters. Hippius is also to the problem of Old Russian cash account.

In the cycle of recent works on this topic, he justifies a new concept of the monetary system of medieval Novgorod, which is based on the standards of the ratio of the ratio between three types of payment funds found in recent years - silver, fur and leather “banknotes” in the form of wiped squirrels. Since the year, A. Gippius has been studying and publishing monuments of ancient Russian epigraphy, primarily inscriptions-graphists.

Graffiti on the walls of temples, along with birch bark letters - one of the two main sources of replenishment of the fund of original ancient Russian texts preserved in the original. Their number is very significant - several thousand. The Old Russian epigraphic is now experiencing a very interesting and dynamic period - the discoveries of archaeologists and restorers follow one after another, and the experience accumulated in the study of birch bark letters helps to cope with this stream of new texts.

In recent years, A. Sedov epigraphic complexes of the St. George Cathedral of the Yuryev Monastery and the Church of the Annunciation on the settlement, the Transfiguration Cathedral in Pereslavl-Zalessky, the Church of St. Panteleimon in Galich.

Mikheev, with the inscriptions of the Slavic Studition, and with the inscriptions of Sofia of Constantinople, there are also many ancient Russian graffiti - together with Yu.

Artamonov from the Institute of General History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. A number of long-known epigraphic monuments were first read or interpreted in a new way, A. one of the latest results of this kind was the deciphering of the cryptogram on the ark of Archbishop Dionysius of the Suzdal G. The text turned out to be the Greek-Slavic bilingual, occupying a key place in the transfer of the Late Invaluum tradition of the “godmother”.

Hippius was also read and introduced into a scientific circulation, a unique monument of the South Slavic non -in -infusal writing - the Bulgarian merchant letter of the XI century preserved in the relics of the Cathedral of Gildeshaim Germany. A significant result was the inscription obtained together with D. Contains the prayer of St. Theodosius of Pechersky about the monastery he created and himself.

Hippius is the coordinator of the creation and development of electronic resources dedicated to the non -infinition writing of Ancient Rus'.
