Occasionally, I get asked to do scrolls for awards from other kingdoms. This one came from An Tir, and is given by the Crown upon an individual’s completion of a term as Kingdom Equestrian Champion. It looks like maybe the spelling of the award name has changed since 2016. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The text was inspired by Charter # 81, p. 140-141 \u2013 1130, Charter of Great Knyaz Mstisla Bladimirovicha and his son Vsevoloda to the Novgorod Yuriev monaster for the village of Byutsi and a silver dish.\u00a0 From Gramoty Velikogo Novgoroda i Pskova (Charters of Great Novgorod and Pskov), Moscow, 1949. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the earliest Charters I have found, and I often use it, or elements from it, for early-period Russian texts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, we, King Kjartan Daegarson, and my Queen, Sha\u2019ya, holding the lands of An Tir, are granting Ivan Leskov memebership in the Ordre de Cheval et Lion, accompanied with the appropriate taxes, death tolls, and rights to collect fines as befits his new station.\u00a0 And should even another noble in our kingdom try to take this from him, god shall punish any who so try.\u00a0 And you, Ivan Leskov, are charged with continuing to defend us and our heirs, in life and in death.\u00a0 So we set our hand upon this at our Crown Tournament on the Third day of September, AS 51, or the year 7524 since the creation of the world* or the year 2016 in the common era.\u00a0 And any who seek to forbid this grant shall answer to god on the day of the great judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes to the calligrapher<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are my standard notes to the calligraphers working on my Russian texts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Period Russian used some additional characters and did not use some standard moder characters.  A good overview can be found here: http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Early_Cyrillic_alphabet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In period Russian, the letter \u201cy\u201d did not exist.\u00a0 Instead, either of the following symbols was used: \"\"(the one on the left is a combination of the letter o and the letter izhitsa, the one on the right is a single character digraph \u2013 I recommend using the digraph).\u00a0 Since this symbol is not found in standard computer fonts, the greek character gamma (\u03b3) is used in the text.\u00a0 One of the correct symbols should be substituted in the scroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In period Russian, the letter \u201c\u044f\u201d did not exist.\u00a0 In the middle of a sentence it\u2019s replaced by the \u201csmall yus\u201d, written \u201c\u0467\u201d, at the ends of a sentence it is written using the \u201cIotated A\u201d, which looks like this: \"\"\u00a0(upper and lower case).\u00a0 I made the small yus replacements.\u00a0 Anywhere a \u201c\u044f\u201d appears, the iotated A should be used instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
