Abstract

 

The article traces the sources of Ivan Chemnitzer’s fable «The Student of Metaphysics». Its plot is based on Aesop’s fable «The Astrologer» (Perry 40) and the folk anecdote «The Learned Son» (AT 1628). C. F. Gellert’s fable «The Peasant and his Son» (Perry 707) might have provided the pattern for the plot synthesis. Combining Aesop’s plot with the personae of the anecdote, Chemnitzer formulates the problem of false enlightenment, considered important in the 18th century, in the language of literary and folklore archetypes.

 

KeywordsIvan Chemnitzer, Aesop, fable, folk anecdote, satire, Russian 18th-century literature, comparative literature.
