The subject of analysis in the report is a handwritten textbook on logic, compiled by Evgeny Borisovich Syreishchikov (1757–1791)
in 1788. He taught logic first at Moscow University, and from 1784 at
the St. Petersburg Main People’s School. The manuscript is among the
top ten works on logic written in Russian in the 18th century. Until now,
neither the textbook itself nor research on it has been published. The
report is devoted to answering the question of whether the manuscript
is a simple translation of the textbook by I.G.G. Feder.
