Abstrakt. This paper is an introductory review of the question discussed by historians of literature and culture since the 19th century, namely a presence of «bawdy» and «frivolous» songs next to spiritual texts in the early modern manuscripts. I argue for the necessity to historicize a concept of «bawdiness» and distinguish between modern (etic) and non-modern (emic) perception of «bawdy» songs in the Baroque epoch. This methodological move helps to provide a more nuanced understanding of the meanings and functions of these records. This approach facilitates developing a new perspective for the study of modernization in the sphere of language and intimacy.
Keywords: the 17th and 18th century manuscripts, baroque literature, modernization in the sphere of intimacy, «bawdy» songs.
