Abstract
The article analyses the interpretation of particularities of the antiquarian method that was very popular among the European researchers of the 16th century in the Church Slavonic translation of W. Camden's "Britannia". Created by the English antiquary this treatise was included in the fourth volume of the most famous world geographical atlas - the "New Atlas" of Blaeu. This volume was translated very accurately into Church Slavonic by Isaiah, the Little Russian scribe of the Chudov Monastery in the 1650s-1661 upon the orders of Patriarch Nikon. The examples of archaeology, numismatics and epigraphies were examined. These auxiliary disciplines were just beginning to form in Europe in the late 16th - early 17th centuries. For the Russian state of the same period, it is not necessary to talk about a similar level of development of these areas of historical thought, so Isaiah acted as a pioneer, interpreting, for example, information about ancient coins, archaeological finds, that is, artefacts.
