Radishchev, Aleksandr Nikolaevich, 1749-1802
Extent:
2 items (1 bound)
Language:
Russian .
Scope and content:

Bound manuscript of Radishchev's "Puteshestvie iz Peterburga v Moskvu"; the title"Kniga prichinivshai︠a︡ neschastii" is used in this manuscript instead of the usual title. The manuscript is in an unknown contemporary hand. Appended is a note indicating its provenance: "Pod vysochaĭshim ego imperatorskogo velichestva pokrovitelśtvom rossiĭsko-amerikanskoĭ kompanii glavnogo pravlenii︠a︡, ot akt︠s︡ionera kollezhskoĭ sovet" [sic]. The manuscript is numbered as the 16th copy. The title page gives the date 1790, but it seems likely that this manuscript was actually prepared later, under Tsar Paul.
