Английская Википедия:Bishop Street, Novgorod Detinets
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox street Bishop Street (Шаблон:Lang-ru, also known as Piskuplya,Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Lang-ru – ancient form of "bishop's"[1]) was the main street of the Novgorod Detinets in the Middle Ages. The street was buried by the 18th century, its precise location is a subject of considerable historical and archeological research.Шаблон:Sfn
The earliest attempts to locate the street date to early 19th century, when Eugene Bolkhovitinov placed the early wooden Cathedral of St. Sophia (ca. 989) on Piskuplya, high up on the bank of Volkhov river, behind the Шаблон:Ill built in the 18th century.Шаблон:Sfn[2] I. Krasov in 1851 (Шаблон:Ill dates the publication 1853Шаблон:Sfn) suggested that the street rаn past the Шаблон:Ill, but the locations of the ends of it were unclear.[3]
In 1938 A. A. Strokov and Шаблон:Ill directed archaeological excavations near the Savior's gatehouse (Шаблон:Lang-ru, built in end of the 15th centuryШаблон:Sfn), when a section of a wood-paved street was unearthed at a depth of 1.9 m. Since these archeologists expected one end of Piskuplya to be located next to Saviour gate, they had identified the pavement with this street and dated its lowest level as 10th century construction, out of total 15 levels. Troyanovsky argues that the interpretation by Strokov and Bogusevich is dubious, as the 15th century level is located just 1.75 m above the purported 10th century one, thus the buildup of the Шаблон:Ill was supposed to be an improbably low 0.35 m per century.Шаблон:Sfn An attempt to find continuation of Piskuplya near the Church of Andrew Stratelates in 1940 failed.Шаблон:Sfn
Тhe chronicles date the street back to at least 1049,Шаблон:Sfn as they mention that the wooden Cathedral of St. Sophia was located on this street. The wooden building burned down and was replaced by the current stone one by 1049. The chronicle record, however, is contradictory, as it mentions that the wooden construction was replaced by the Шаблон:Ill; archeological and historical data clearly place the latter away from the Bishop Street.Шаблон:Sfn Valentin Yanin in 1977 identified this placement as an error made by a 15th-century scribe.Шаблон:Sfn
Yanin in 1982 suggested that Piskuplya ran between Fedorovskaya and South towers of the Detinets, and the wooden Sophia cathedral was located at its southern end.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
