Onfim
Onfim (his Russian name; also, Anthemius of Novgorod) was a boy who lived in Novgorod, Russia, in the 13th century. He left his notes and homework exercises scratched in soft birch bark (''beresta'')〔Freeze 38.〕 which was preserved in the clay soil of Novgorod.〔 Onfim, who was six or seven at the time, wrote in Old Novgorodian; besides letters and syllables, he drew "battle scenes and drawings of himself and his teacher".〔Chambers 184.〕
==Background==
Novgorod, now known as Veliky Novgorod, is the important administrative center of the Novgorod Oblast. Some south of Saint Petersburg, the city is surrounded by birch forests, whose bark was used for centuries by the locals for writing since it was soft and easily scratched.〔 Since 1951, more than 1100 pieces of birch bark with writing on it have been found, and more are dug up every summer.〔Schaeken 7.〕 The term ''beresty'', denoting such birch bark manuscripts, is a plural form of ''beresta'' ("birch bark"), and the study of ''beresty'' is called ''berestologija''.〔Schaeken 8.〕 The great amount of ''beresty'' is indicative of a high rate of literacy among the population,〔 as is the large number of styluses.〔Schaeken 35.〕
