Deskripsi
The paper offers a context that explains the appearance of an antitalmudical fragment from Pierre Bayle’s “An Historical and Critical Dictionary” in Alexander Radishchev’s “Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow” that refers to the excremental anecdote circulating among students and connected with the name of Ben Akiba. The context reveals the reason for including the citation in the seminary student’s notebook (chapter “Podberezie”).
