Most of the engravings are portraits and vedute, the least are genres, on which focuses this study. They are presented and interpreted for the first time, together with brief biographies of the authors, cultural and artistic contexts.

The article is devoted to the analysis of folk literature monuments, namely parable texts, presented in popular engravings. Parables used to serve as both entertaining and edifying readings; they could also be used as material for church sermons. Popular engravings may involve classical prose parables and ones composed in syllabic verse, which correlate with the “school” baroque poetic tradition. A part of the parables featured on engraved sheets originates from the gospel texts. Other parables can be associated with both translated and original works of Old Russian literature. Besides, one distinguishes parable texts sourced from Western European engravings. Most of the parables, which became part of popular engravings, come from the collection of stories Velikoe Zertsalo (‘Great Mirror’) translated from Polish into Church Slavonic. Other texts of non-evangelical origin made their way to engravings through the collections Prolog (‘Prologue’) and Zlatoust (‘Chrysostom’). It is important to conclude that the Slavia Orthodoxa and the Slavia Romana traditions share common moralising storylines.

Michal Jan Borch (full name Michal Jan Alois Anton Borch, 1753-1810), christened in Varaklani on 1 July 1753, was a natural scientist and writer whose name is recognized in Europe and inscribed in the history of science. To understand Borch’s personality, it is important to consider his wide scope of interests and education-based competence. He was well versed in classical literature, poetry and history, had studied the basics of botany, physics, mathematics, architecture and land surveying as well as drawing, music and several languages. Borch wrote his works in French in which he was fluent and even Voltaire is said to have praised the young Borch’s mastery of French. His correspondence is also mainly in French, including letters to his father and mother. On an everyday level, the Count communicated and wrote in Polish and German; he also learned English and Italian, and wrote verse in French, Italian and Latvian. Borch had a scholarly interest in natural resources and the population of other countries, very typical of Enlightenment-era nobility and intellectuals. This enthusiasm was fully developed during his research travels. In his early twenties, he toured Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy from 1774 to 1778, and then set out for Holland and England in 1790. He was captivated most by two Mediterranean islands Sicily and Malta, describing them with much fervour. Months spent in Sicily (23 September 1776 - 25 April 1777) provided diverse research material for seven books printed in Italy, which describe the nature of Sicily, Malta and Italy - stones, ancient monuments and people combined with historical, natural and anthropological aspects.
