Life

Barsov's father Alexei Kirillowitsch Barsow was the director of the Moscow Synodal Printing House . Together with Theophylakt Lopatinski and Sophronius Lichud , Barsow updated the Slavic Bible . Alexei Barsow was arrested in 1732 by the secret law firm for the delivery of a brief for religious books from the printers and storage of handwritten critical biography Feofan Prokopowitschs and died in 1736 in prison.

Anton Barsov became a student at the Academia Slavo-Graeco-Latina in Moscow at the age of 8 , although only students between the ages of 13 and 20 should be accepted. In 1748, thanks to Vasily Kirillowitsch Trediakowski's intercession, he was sent to St. Petersburg to study at the Academic University of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences as one of the 30 most capable Latin students . He was judged very positively by Johann Eberhard Fischer . In 1753 Barsow graduated with a master's degree in philosophy and liberal science. He further studied philosophy and languages, translated scientific papers and taught mathematics at the university.

In 1755 Barsow was invited to take over the chair of mathematics at the new Moscow University to be opened that year . At the opening in April 1755, he gave a speech on the benefits of founding Moscow University. However, Barsov's lectures were only announced in 1757, as Stepan Petrovich Shevyrev noted. In 1761 Barsow became a full professor at the chair for rhetoric of the late Nikolai Nikititsch Popowski . Barsow held lectures on grammar , rhetoric and poetics until his death . In the 1760s he was an inspector of the two departments of the university high school. In 1763 he wrote a general plan for a Moscow educational center based on the ideas of Ivan Ivanovich Bezkois . Barsov's main work was his grammar of the Russian language , which did not appear until 200 years later.

Barsow was 1756-1765 from the Moskowskije Vedomosti . In 1771 he became the censor of books printed in the printing house of Moscow University. Barsow was secretary of the Free Russian Society for Literature and Science at Moscow University, which was founded in 1771 by the university curator Ivan Ivanovich Melissino and existed until 1787. In 1775 Barsow translated the second part of the two-volume political science textbook Institutions politiques of Baron Jakob Friedrich von Bielfeld , which was printed on the instructions of Catherine II . In 1782 Barsow was involved in the conflict Melissino with the Freemason Johann Georg Schwarz together with Johann Matthias Schaden . In 1783, Barsov took part at the invitation of the first meeting of the Russian Academy headed by Princess Ekaterina Romanovna Voronzowa-Daschkowa , which under Nicholas I became part of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. For a short time, Barsov took part in the creation of the dictionary of the Russian Academy. In 1789 he became chairman of the Society of Friends of Scholarship and then an honorary member of the Grand Ducal Latin Society of Jena

Barsow's nephew Alexander Dmitrijewitsch Barsow translated works by Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi , August Ludwig von Schlözer and Johann Friedrich Weidler .
