Abstract

This article examines the practices of reading theological literature within the home library of the Murav’ev family, specifically focusing on the poet Mikhail Nikitich Murav’ev (1757–1807)—a tutor to Grand Dukes Alexander and Konstantin and the first trustee of Moscow University—and his son, the Decembrist Nikita Murav’ev (1795–1843). It is traced how reading habits differed between the fathers and the sons, highlighting the distinct approaches to religious texts taken by two extraordinary individuals from different generations: a Catherine the Great-era nobleman and a young officer from the first quarter of the 19th century.
