bobh Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I took a look at the untranslated parts for Paul. Is there some conversion table somewhere for things like zolotnik, dolya, Dutch stuivers, etc., perhaps in grams or Troy ounces? It seems like it doesn't make too much sense to just translate such terms unless we can somehow correlate these with modern-day standards of alloy fineness, weights, etc. These terms were also commonly used internationally at the time, so maybe it shouldn't be too hard to find such a conversion table. But I don't know where to look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Have you checked your Uzdenikov Bob? Had a feeling it was somewhere at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE MOULDING Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Some useful clues here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Obsolete_units_of_measure There are a lot of units and Standards in the Corpus that are completely unknown to me. Cologne Marks, Zentners etc. We were struggling with some of these in the Poland translations, for example: http://grandduketranslation.pbworks.com/w/page/15311611/POLAND%C2%A0DOC-1 Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobh Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 In the meantime, I've found some useful information in Uzdenikov, Severin, and in the article "Rules for Gold Deposits at the St. Petersburg Mint, 1897" in the summer 2010 issue of the JRNS. Thanks for all the helpful pointers! Unfortunately, I won't have much time to do any translating now for the next month or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE MOULDING Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Started moving the Grand Duke project over to a new (and more general) translation wiki I've created: http://russian-numismatic-translation-project.wikidot.com/ This site is much easier for page creation and editing and the look & feel is nice (I think). I've brought over one article so far, the Alexander I - Introduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE MOULDING Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 All documents have been brought over from the old site and many more added. Please feel free to play around.
