К истории русских и немецких Примечаний к Ведомостям (1728–1742)

This article is devoted to the well-known, but not well-studied, Notes on the St. Petersburg Gazette – the first Russian periodical, published in two languages at the Academy of Sciences of St. Petersburg. The author reconstructs the editorial history of the Notes and shows the prominent role which the influential administrator of the Academy, J.D. Schumacher, played for this magazine over the whole period of its publication. Furthermore she considers the genre tradition of German periodicals the editors of the Notes must have followed in their journalistic project, and describes the practice of publishing numerous essays translated for the Notes from the English moral weeklies.
