Two Authors, Two Universes: Cosmological Models in the Works of Simeon Polotskii and Archpriest Avvakum Petrov
Original language description
This paper analyses and compares models of the universe presented in two seventeenth century texts, Simeon Polotskii’s Aristotelian-Ptolemaic model in Venets very kafolicheskiia and Archpriest Avvakum Petrov’s vertical-horizontal universe in his treatise ‘Sniskanie i sobranie o Bozhestve i o tvari’. It considers the writers’ sources, cosmological imagery, purpose, and the aesthetic and value properties represented by the two models and interprets them within the context of the seventeenth century cultural crisis in Russia. Examining how the macrocosm was presented by the two antagonists in the dispute over faith broadens our understanding of a pivotal cultural conflict in pre-Petrine Russian history.
