Image description: Skazanie o Mamaevom Poboishche (the Tale of the Rout of Mamai) 17th century Language: Russian Source/Shelfmark: Yates Thompson 51 f.25v The Skazanie is a romance in Russian Church Slavonic, composed in the 15th century, relating the struggle of the Muscovian Grand Prince, Dmitri Donskoj (b. 1350, d. 1389), against his Tartar opponent, Mamai (d. 1380), the military commander of the Blue Horde and Golden Horde. The central focus is the battle of Kulikovo (1380) at which Mamai was routed. The victory is presented in the context of a crusade and is couched in terms reminiscent of the contest between Gideon and the Midianites (Judges 7).
