Un piccolo strappetto al margine interno della grande carta della Russia realizzata dal cartografo Hermann Moll, senza perdita di carta ed ininfluente e nel complesso esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Prima edizione francese, uscita un anno dopo la prima inglese, di questa relazione della Russia del celebre ingegnere e viaggiatore inglese John Perry (1670-1732). Specializzato in ingegneria navale visse varie avventure a bordo delle navi inglesi avendo spesso a che fare con i corsari francesi. Durante uno scontro con un corsaro perse l’utilizzo del braccio destro. In seguito ad un altro scontro con una nave corsara andò sotto processo in Inghilterra, insieme al comandante della nave inglese, in seguito alla cattura del veliero da parte dei francesi. Dalla testimonianza di Perry che pubblicò un libello su questi fatti, il comandante della nave fuggì ad attacco in corso lasciando lui e l’equipaggio alla mercè dei corsari. Nel 1698 venne liberato dal carcere in seguito ad espressa richiesta dello Zar Pietro che aveva individuato in Perry l’esperto ingegnere navale ed idrauliche di cui necessitavano i suoi cantieri pietroburghesi. Il suo primo impiego fu riferire allo Zar sulla possibilità di stabilire un canale tra il fiume Volga ed il Don. L’opera fu iniziata nel 1700, ma i progressi compiuti erano lenti, a causa dell’incapacità dei lavoratori, il ritardo nella fornitura dei materiali e l’opposizione della nobiltà. Perry fra l’altro si era risentito con lo Zar per il ritardo nel pagamento del suo stipendio. Nel settembre 1701 Perry che nel frattempo aveva ricevuto il titolo di “Controllore supremo delle opere marittime russe” venne convocato a Mosca dove gli fu presentato l’ordine di stabilire sulla riva destra del fiume Voronej un nuovo bacino artificiale. Nel 1711, dopo i ritardi dovuti alla guerra contro i Turchi, gli viene ordinata la creazione di un canale tra San Pietroburgo e il Volga ma il fatto che lo Zar continua a non riconoscere il suo stipendio, Perry inizia ad arrabbiarsi tanto che andando oltre ad una saggia protesta si espone direttamente con lo Zar scatenando un litigio furibondo con quest’ultimo. Avendo paura per la sua vita si pone sotto la protezione dell’ambasciatore inglese, il signor Whitworth, e torna in Inghilterra sul finire del 1712. Nel corso del suo servizio di quattordici anni “in Russia, ho solo ricevuto un anno di stipendio” scrive Perry nel suo celebre scritto sulla Russia. Nel 1716 pubblicò questo interessantissima descrizione della Russia e delle condizioni di lavoro in questo paese. L’opera è basilare per la comprensione non solo degli usi e costumi russi degli inizi del settecento ma anche per avere una chiara visione dei costi e del processo di modernizzazione della Russia di Pietro il Grande. “This ingenious officer and mechanic was engaged by the Russian Ambassador, at a salary of 300 pounds a year, to superintend in paticular a communication then making between the Volga and the Don. In an introduction to his work Perry gives an account of the many disappointments he experienced during fourteen years of residence in Russia, which he was finally forced to quit without receiving his expected renumeration. Of the country itself, and of the various plans of the Czar for its improvement, a pleasing account is given” (Cox). Prima rara edizione francese in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione.

The volume holds particular bibliographic interest as the effectively posthumous publication site of Vladislav Markovich Illich-Svitych's chapter on the comparative grammar of the Slavic languages: the brilliant young founder of the Nostratic hypothesis Illich-Svitych had been killed in a road accident at the age of 31 in August 1966 while the book was still in production and the volume was signed for printing in February 1967 carrying one of his last completed essays. Beyond its individual chapters the book is a significant historiographical document for the history of the Soviet humanities recording how the Institute of Linguistics chose to narrate its own genealogy at the close of the Khrushchev period and the opening of the Brezhnev era. Issued in 5300 copies through closed academic distribution copies in the original dust-jacket are uncommon and the volume is sought after by historical-linguistic specialists by Knorozoviana and Illich-Svitychiana collectors and by historians of Soviet science.</p> Nauka hardcover

ill., br. Il testo ripercorre i trecento anni della leggendaria dinastia dei Romanov in un racconto con al centro grandi figure, zar e zarine che hanno portato l'impero a brillare nello scenario europeo e occupare dimensioni mai viste. Pietro il Grande, con la passione dell'Occidente, Elisabetta, la Semiramide del Nord, Caterina II, la zarina attratta dagli ideali dell'Illuminismo: le vicende dei protagonisti sono dominate da sete di potere, debolezze, intrighi di ogni sorta e fatti inaspettati, che rendono la loro storia irresistibile e il fascino senza tempo. Tuttavia questo mondo dorato arriverà all'epilogo più atroce, perché l'intera famiglia reale verrà trucidata a Ekaterinburg, in una notte di luglio di cento anni fa, e per molti anni il segreto di quei corpi sarà accuratamente nascosto.

1922001842Saint-Briac: By the author 1922. Softcover. First edition; 18 ½â x 12 ¼â ; newsprint single sheet recto only; folded with intersecting crease lines; a few small nicks and cuts to edges; light uniform age-toning; ruled with an intricate border and a stylized drawing of a crown; illustrated with two large photographs of Kirill and his wife Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha â Feodorovna; very good condition. An apparently unrecorded piece of the Russian Imperial Familyâs history the broadside was published by Kirill himself in France where he lived in exile after the October Revolution. Kirill Vladimirovich Romanov 1876 â 1938 was the son of Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich Romanov and the grandson of Tsar Alexander II. His wife whom he married in 1905 without Tsar Nicholas IIâs consent was his first cousin and the granddaughter of Queen Victoria. The marriage caused an uproarious scandal throughout the courts of the European nobility for the union was in open defiance of the Russian Orthodox Churchâs ruling that first cousins could not marry and furthermore for the fact that Victoria Feodorovna had just divorced her first husband also a first cousin. During the February Revolution of 1917 Kirill swore allegiance to the Russian Provisional Government in hopes of ingratiating himself and possibly becoming a regent after Nicholas IIâs impending abdication. Shortly after in June of 1917 the family escaped to Finland then Germany and finally to the tiny village of Saint-Briac in France. In 1922 four years after Nicholas IIâs execution and two years before a London court order declared Nicholasâ brother Mikhail II legally dead Kirill published his current âdeclarationâ to his compatriots stating that he did not believe the news of Nicholasâ death and that he hoped his cousin would return to the throne but in the meantime the Russian people needed a âperson in chargeâ to lead them. He continued on to state that until a definitive proof of the whereabouts of Mikhail Nicholas and his son Aleksei was presented or a Zemskii Sobor an assembly summoned by a tsar or a patriarch chose a new ruler he would appoint himself Guardian of the Sovereignâs Throne. His statement was endorced at the bottom of the broadside by his relative Prince Dmitrii Golitsyn-Muravlin. His aspirations were rivaled by Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich Romanov grandson of Nicholas I but with the formerâs death in 1929 Kirill would indeed become the undisputed leader of the monarchists. After claiming the throne he would become known as the âSoviet Tsarâ for his sympathies for the regime and his biggest support would come from an émigré monarchist organization styling itself âThe Legitimists.â After his death Kirill was succeeded by his son Vladimir Kirilovich who proclaimed himself âHead of the Romanovsâ but this was never accepted by any other member of the Romanov family.
