Abstract

The review paper on N.I. Kareev’s first work published in the September issue of the Journal of the Ministry of National Education in 1869 was analyzed. N.I. Kareev’s publication was focused on the pronunciation of sounds and the graphic system of the ancient Greek language. R.A. Fogt, the qualified expert in classical philology, reviewed it. R.A. Fogt emphasized N.I. Kareev’s good skills in ancient languages studies that he trained at the Moscow gymnasium and used as the background for his reflections about the ancient Greek language. The critical comments of the reviewer were discussed. These remarks concerned the following aspects of N.I. Kareev’s work: historiographical sources, conceptual apparatus, argumentation, logical inconsistencies in the text, and vision of the specifics of the ancient Greek phonetics. In particular, R.A. Fogt pointed out that N.I. Kareev showed little interest in G. Kurtius’ work, expressed his disagreement with the proposal to use the methods of I. Reuchlin in philological research when transcribing Greek letters with Latin, disputed the claim that θ retained its ancient sound in the modern Greek language, etc. As an experienced educator, R.A. Fogt gave advice not only concerning the research procedures, but also about writing methodological manuals for the educational process. The balanced nature of the review paper, its friendly tone, and a generally positive assessment of N.I.’s Kareev work were revealed. It was concluded that this review meant recognition of the young N.I. Kareev in the scientific and educational environment and turned out to be an incentive for his further work as a scientist and author of textbooks.
