Estimates that are accurate by order of magnitude have been obtained for
some characteristics of the linear and nonlinear approximations of the
isotropic classes of the Nikol'skii--Besov-type \textit{$\mathbf{B}%
^{\,\omega}_{p,\theta}$} of periodic functions of several variables in the
spaces $B_{q,1}, 1 \leq q \leq \infty$. A specific feature of those spaces,
as linear subspaces of $L_q$, is that the norm in them is ``stronger'' than
the $L_q$-norm.
