Jean Jacques Barthelemy's famous "Voyage du jeu Anacharsis en Gréce". He had begun it in 1757 and had been working on it for thirty years. The hero, a young Scythian descended from the famous philosopher Anacharsis, is supposed to travel to Greece for instruction in his early youth, and after making the tour of her republics, colonies and islands, to return to his native country and write this book in his old age, after the Macedonian hero had overturned the Persian Empire. In the manner of modern travellers, he gives an account of the customs, government, and antiquities of the country he is supposed to have visited.

Based on historical records and details and information that can be found in this book, we can conclude, although not with absolute certainty, that this book contains the work that was commissioned, edited and reviewed by Peter the Great himself in Saint Alexander Nevsky Lavra [monastery] in St. Petersburg as an explanatory part of the Gospel Beautitudes. There is some indication that the work might have been written by Archbishop Theophan Prokopovich. However, there is no direct indication that the work was printed separately from the Beautitudes, and the addition of 24 leaves of Short selection of songs, suggest that this book was… Read More
