DANILOV, Kirsha. Drevniia Rossiiskiia Stikhotvoreniia. [Ancient Russian Rhymes.] Moscow: Semen Selivanovskii, 1818. 4° (260 x 205mm). Interleaved with blanks showing English annotations. 35 engraved headpieces of musical notation. (Faint dampstain and crease on the title.) Contemporary English half-calf (extremities rubbed, spine head chipped). Provenance: Henry Edward Fox Strangways, 5th Earl of Ilchester (Melbury bookplate).
Second, significantly enlarged and revised edition of ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS AND IMPORTANT WORKS IN RUSSIAN FOLKLORE. This edition adds music and nearly 100 pages to the first of 1804 and, according to Smirnov-Sokol'skii, is the first to make apparent the full importance of the text. The original manuscript belonged to P.A. Demidov and passed to Kliucharev who published the first edition. But it was M.P. Rumiantsev who commissioned K.F. Kalaidovich to re-examine the manuscript for this more complete and more accurate edition. An excellent copy with noble provenance. Kilgour 256; Smirnov-Sokol'skii 1271 ('otlichno izdannyi tom').
