Study
The earliest attempts to compile a comprehensive lexicon of Old East Slavic were undertaken by Alexander Vostokov and Izmail Sreznevsky in the nineteenth century. Sreznevsky's Materials for the Dictionary of the Old Russian Language on the Basis of Written Records (1893–1903), though incomplete, remained a standard reference until the appearance of a 24-volume academic dictionary in 1975–99.

Famous quotes containing the word study:
“The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“A little skill in antiquity inclines a man to Popery. But depth in that study brings him about again to our religion.”
—Thomas Fuller (1608–1661)
“I leaf through books, I do not study them. What I retain of them is something I no longer recognize as anyone else’s.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
