Abstract
The purpose of the article is to describe S.M. Solovyov's approaches to studying the early XVIII century epistolary sources for characterizing some aspects of the Age of Enlightenment. The special attention is paid to S.M. Solovyov's methods of interpretation of the epistolary sources regarding Peter the Great's activities in the sphere of book publishing, translating and binding at the beginning of the XVIII century. The author reveals the two methods used by S.M.Solovyov for the analysis of historical sources: 1) the source is viewed as a material object; 2) the source is viewed as an information object.
