Requesting the publisher's permission to commission a German translation of his Russian Peasantry which first appeared in 1888 with a second edition in 1890. Stepniak proposes 50/50 division of royalties and identifies the translator as Victor Adler who has just been sentenced to three months in prison and thus now has "ample leisure" for undertaking the translation.

Sergei Stepniak aka Sergius; aka Sergey Stepnyak-Kravchinskii 1851-1895 made his revolutionary bones during the Narodnik Rebellion of 1877-78 by openly assassinating Nikolai Mezentsov the head of the Czar's secret police on the streets of St. Petersburg. Kravchinskii committed the act in broad daylight and made no attempt to disavow his guilt living publicly if dangerously for several months before finally escaping to Switzerland. He arrived in London around 1880 and quickly became the center of a lively Russian revolutionary exile scene. He founded the Society of Friends of Russian Freedom in 1891 and wrote a number of well-received books on revolutionary Russia including Underground Russia which had in fact been published in translation prior to his exile The Russian Peasantry 1888; and a fictionalized account of his own exploits The Career of a Nihilist 1889. He was killed somewhat mysteriously we think by an onrushing train in December of 1895 depriving him of any opportunity to witness the fruit of his labors in the Revolutions of 1905 and 1917. Dying young Stepniak did not leave a great body of manuscript material behind him and relatively few letters with good content have appeared in commerce. Harper and Brothers unknown

Kanonik. Book of Canons.

94903Russia 1866. . 4to 23 x 185 cm. Illuminated manuscript on paper ff. 4 index 4 blank 344 17 lines per page alphabetic signatures and pagination of Cyrillic alphabetic numerals 35 full-page illuminations in watercolour 36 headpieces in black and gold with first lines in gilt; occasional light spotting and soiling mostly marginal. Contemporary gilt-stamped red morocco gilt spine with raised bands edges gilt and gauffered gilt endpapers; slightly rubbed lacking both clasps. An exceptionally fine example of an Old Believer liturgical book beautifully illustrated with 35 full-page illuminations. Created by a skilful master they depict in great detail the most significant events of the New Testament including the Annunciation the Nativity the Baptism of Christ the Ascension the Twelve Apostles and more. This volume was made for and used by Old Believers who separated from the official Russian Orthodox Church as a protest against church reforms introduced by Patriarch Nikon of Moscow between 1652 and 1666. These Old Believers refused to accept alterations and amendments to the Holy texts aimed at bringing their religious practice closer to the 'original' Greek Orthodoxy. They refused to allow sacred texts to be printed instead reproducing them as manuscripts. The large size of this book its high-quality paper neat script very detailed illuminations and attractive gilt binding prove beyond doubt that no expense was spared on its production. As the colophon indicates it was made for Evdokiia Ivanovna Babaeva the wife of a merchant in Kolomna which was then an important trade point near Moscow. There are records of several men with this surname in Kolomna during the mid-XIX century all of them owners of factories in the city and probably members of the same wealthy merchant family. Kolomna was also important as a centre of the Old Believer community. The city's Bishop Paul fiercely opposed Patriarch Nikon's reforms and was consequently stripped of the rank of Bishop exiled and eventually killed in 1656 rendering him a martyr in the view of many Old Believers.A century later 156 Old Believers were officially registered in Kolomna then a city of 5400 inhabitants. Many more practised their beliefs in secret to avoid persecution. This volume later belonged to Cornelius J. Hauck 1893-1967 whose outstanding and somewhat eclectic collection was formed with the help of the well-respected antiquarian bookseller Emil Offenbacher between 1945 and 1965. The collection was given to the Cincinnati Historical Society Library in 1966 where it remained largely unknown to the world until part of it was auctioned by Christie's in New York in 2006. Russian manuscripts of this quality and preserved in such pristine condition are extremely rare. S.S. Mikhailov Istoriya staroobriadchestva g.
