Arkhangelsk Customs’ Inventory of 1710: Commentary and Text

Malysheva I. Arkhangelsk Customs’ Inventory of 1710: Commentary and Text SHLL, Vol. 6. 2023 , 315–339
Abstract

The article proposes the analysis and publication of an 18th century chansellory style monument of the Russian North — the Arkhangelsk Customs Inventory List of 1710. The inventory list is a type of customs document, containing the full record of the customs estate which was made at the end of each year during the handover from the former customs head to the new one. Such documents are of a great interest for historical linguistics because of their vocabulary which is uncommon for other types of customs documents: inventory lists contain description of the customs interior and another facilities, customs equipment and implements, regulating documents, etc.
