Through the analysis of the Old Russian mentality in the seventeenth century, the monograph (‘“The Life of Archpriest Avvakum” : Russian Tradition Put to the Test’) sheds light on the problem and cultural-historical specificity of the phenomenon of the so-called Old Russian literature. Linguistic complexities (prohibitions, rules) point to deep-rooted norms that prescribed the Old Russian way of governing, the ecclesiastical system and the relationship between dealing with the existing knowledge and Christian tradition. Žitje protopopa Avvakuma je bilo napisano v sredini 17. stoletja, ki je v ruski zgodovini nenaključno označeno za »prehodno«. Stoletje spreminjanja in nepomirljivih trenj so pogojevale okoliščine dogodkov, katerih zgodovinski oris se omejuje predvsem na obdobje, ko se zgodi prelomna cerkvena reforma. Takrat se je zgodil cerkveni razkol in so bili iz Ruske cerkve izobčeni t. i. razkolniki, ki so se zavzemali za ohranitev pretekle staroruske tradicije tako v bogoslužju kakor tudi v pismenosti in celo v vsakdanjem življenju. »Prehodno stoletje« pa je avtorica predstavila skozi »oči« razkolnika protopopa Avvakuma: njegovo življenje (biografija), družbena in literarna dejavnost so povezani v celosten in vsestranski prikaz njegovega (v žitju izpričanega) religioznega nazora. Njegovo »življenjsko« delo pa je literarno besedilo, v mnogem prelomno v zgodovini ruske književnosti, saj pisano izpod roke neanonimnega avtorja in naslovljeno kot Žitje, odpira vprašanje o začetkih avtobiografije v Rusiji.

The monograph (‘The Slavic image of word : the forces of depiction in a Slavic language of the sixteenth century’) sets the groundwork for the elucidation of some historical development in the middle of the evolution of Slavic languages that also influenced the establishment of literary language both in Slovenia and Russia in the mid-sixteenth century (the beginning of Slavic literary and liturgy, the intertwining of Greek and Latin Christian linguistic patterns, connection to the East-West Schism in 1054). Knjiga ob prikazu ozadja vzpostavljanja t. i. slovanske pismenosti, s posebno pozornostjo na soodnosu med besedo in podobo (vsebino in obliko) ter upoštevajoč slovensko-ruske razlikovalnosti, obravnava besedilni in jezikovni dosežek pisateljev Primoža Trubarja in Maksima Greka, katerima je zaradi različnih okoliščin prav jezik s slovansko besedno osnovo v XVI. stoletju predstavljal tudi osebni izraz. Ob ponujenih vzporednicah z miselno-duhovnimi in umetniškimi nazori tedanje nastajajoče intelektualne Evrope je njun jezikovni izraz tokrat preučevan z zornega kota mogoče sposobnosti predstavljanja, prikazovanja ter upodabljanja neke idealne podobe, ki znotraj duhovnega krogozora obeh pisateljev ter strogo teocentričnega sveta ne more biti razumljena drugače kot Božja. Zasledovane možnosti besednega učinkovanja, ki niso približki t. i. literarnih postopkov, ponujajo ogrodje opredeljevanja značilnosti neke krščanske ikonografije, tesno zvezane z osebno teologijo obeh obravnavanih pisateljev. Zato je tudi – pogojno rečeno – poetika Maksima Greka in Primoža Trubarja globoko osebna.

The book (‘The Cyclorama of the Slavic Word (A Test of Renaissance Humanism through a Cross-Section of the Complete Works of Primož Trubar and Maximus the Greek)’) presents a detailed cultural and historical analysis of the problems associated with the attempts to link Western and Eastern Christianity since the first century of Christianization onward, with special attention being paid to the importance of the Slavic presence in European history, including questions regarding the role of individual contributions (biographical and historical overviews) to the spiritual history of the Christian East and West. This book uses juxtaposition to present the work, creativity and views of two key figures in Slovenia and Russia, Primož Trubar and Maximus the Greek (St. Maxim the Greek). The said Slavic authors, who also wrote in Latin, German and Greek, but consciously chose Slavic for very specific reasons (Primož Trubar used it as his mother language and Maximus the Greek as a language of salvation), are studied on the basis of primary archival sources, with special regard to manuscripts (of Maximus the Greek) and to early printing (of Primož Trubar) in the sixteenth century. In addition, Neža Zajc also critically analyzes the Renaissance period and presents the option of viewing it from a different perspective: the hypotheses to date that were based on secondary literature have proven to be insufficiently explanatory or proved unsatisfactory. Knjiga, osnovana ne kot primerjava, temveč kot sopostavitev na način vzajemne zgolj osvetlitve dveh besedilnih opusov dveh pisateljev v (staro) slovenskem (Primoža Trubarja) in (staro) ruskem jeziku (Maksima Greka) XVI. stoletja, ponuja osamosvojeno od preteklih opredelitev (a ne od zgodovinskega obdobja) razumevanje njunega doprinosa k duhovni zgodovini človeštva, pa tudi nekoliko drugačen vpogled v obdobje, ki se je zapisalo v zgodovino pod naziv t. i. renesanse.
