A combined citation covering Encyclopaedia Britannica's biographical entry on Avvakum Petrovich and Columbia University Press's published English edition of The Life Written by Himself. Their strength is corroborated agreement on the autobiography's composition at Pustozersk, its defense of Old Believer practice against Patriarch Nikon's reforms, and its landmark use of colloquial Russian. Their limit is that neither source is a specialist textual history tracing every manuscript recension of the autobiography, which circulated for two centuries before print publication.
