KORB JOHANN GEORG (1670-1741) Diary of a journey to Muscovy (1698 and 1699 years); trans. and notes. of A. I. Malein
SPb.: ed. A. S. Suvorin, 1906. - XII, [8], 322
p.: Il., [19] p. Il.; 30x22 cm. Number of copies -1200 . Two additional
title pages in Latin and Russian. In a semi-leather binding of the time.
Gold-embossed bandage spine. Shabby binding, tears of the leather
spine, owner’s stamped bookplate of doctor Grigorovich N. And. on
the front flyleaf.
The ‘Suvorin’ edition of 1906 is the second edition of the Korb’s
translation into Russian and differs by a more accurate reproduction of
the Latin original. Besides, the book is distinguished by a sound printing
performance: printed on thick vellum paper, perfectly reproduces all
the engravings of the original edition, including ‘the Emblem of the
Russian Tsardom and its regions’ and the rarest picture of ‘Execution
of the Streltsy in 1698.’
Bibliography: Mintslov. No. 333; Ulianinski. No. 4027; Fecula. No.
