This publication continues to present the correspondence between Fedor Ivanovich Buslaev and Alexander Ivanovich Kirpichnikov78. These letters, preserved in the collection of manuscripts of the Russian State Library, take us back to the summer of 1880. For Buslaev this was the time to bring to reality what he had been envisioning for years, working with Western European materials on his definitive study of the pictorial Apocalypse, while Kirpichnikov was going through a new period of seeking his own role in public, pedagogical and scholarly activities. Buslaev shared his impressions of Bavarian and Tyrolean cities and towns, libraries, philologists and historians, while Kirpichnikov, among other things, described the speeches of the artistic and academic intelligentsia during the famous Pushkin Celebration in Moscow, which he had a chance to attend. It is significant that in these letters Kirpichnikov declared his serious interest in the history of art for the first time. This interest was later expressed in his desire — never fully realized — to follow in the footsteps of his teacher to develop a universal approach to the study of images of medieval literature and art.
