Vasily Kipriyanov
Russian publisher
Vasily Onufrievich Kipriyanov (Russian: Василий Анофриевич Киприянов; ? - after 1723) was a publisher and librarian from the Tsardom of Russia. He was at the head of the "Civil Publishing House" under the general supervision of Jacob Bruce. It was the first Russian private publishing house (established by the special order of Peter I of May 30, 1705).
He grew up in the area of Kadashevskaya Sloboda (now in the modern district of Yakimanka District within Moscow), and during his youth engaged in trade by supplying candles, leather, and lard to the Armory Chamber and the Printing Yard. In 1701, he first started working with mathematician Leonty Magnitsky to engrave his publication, before going on to edit other mathematical books.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Vasily Kipriyanov” as russian publisher. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as russian publisher. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4221094. VIAF identifies the subject as 262174410931108501759. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1723, 1705 and 1701.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
