Bishop Street (Russian: Епископская улица, also known as Piskuplya,[1] Russian: Пискупля – ancient form of "bishop's"[2]) was the main street of the Novgorod Detinets in the Middle Ages. The street was buried by the 18th century, its precise location is a subject of considerable historical and archeological research.[1]
The earliest attempts to locate the street date to early 19th century, when
In 1938 A. A. Strokov and
Тhe chronicles date the street back to at least 1049,[9] as they mention that the wooden Cathedral of St. Sophia was located on this street. The wooden building burned down and was replaced by the current stone one by 1049. The chronicle record, however, is contradictory, as it mentions that the wooden construction was replaced by the Boris and Gleb Church; archeological and historical data clearly place the latter away from the Bishop Street.[10] Valentin Yanin in 1977 identified this placement as an error made by a 15th-century scribe.[11]
Yanin in 1982 suggested that Piskuplya ran between Fedorovskaya and South towers of the Detinets, and the wooden Sophia cathedral was located at its southern end.[12][13]
