Abstract
The author examines the signifi cance of the latest archival fi nds concerning the staff members of the Foreign Affairs Ministry (prikaz) of the 17th century for the history of the Old Russian literature, especially its translated part. The Foreign Affairs Ministry was an important center of literary activity. The article shows that the main achievement of the prosopographic studies is their systematic approach to the material. They thus offer insights not only into the literary contribution of the individuals who worked at the Ministry, but also into the signifi cance of the institution per se as a school of literature and a literary school.
