The next issue of Odyssey is devoted to the language of the Bible in the narrative monuments of the Catholic West and the Orthodox East, more precisely, to the system of biblical images and quotes in historical and literary monuments of the Western (Slavic) and Russian Middle Ages. The attention of the reader may be attracted by an article about the creative fate of E.A. Kosminsky, who worked, like all historians of his generation, in the fight against cosmopolitanism. The Word and Image section continues the discussion of the functions of images in the Middle Ages. Reviews focus on topical topics such as memory history and cultural history. Special studies concern church, state, and social history.
