Abstract
John Barbour (ca.1320–1395) has been justly acknowledged as the founder of literature in Scots. The Bruce, his monumental achievement, is at once a metrical romance, a biography of Robert I, King of Scots, and his loyal adherents,and a historical chronicle which became the national epic of Scotland. The first full Russian translation of this outstanding work is continued below, with an introductory article and commentary. The original metre is retained.
