GRIBOEDOV, Aleksandr Sergeevich (1795-1829). Gore ot uma. [Woe from Wit]. St Petersburg: at the Military Press, 1839. The very rare second edition, in quasi-miniature format, of this satirical classic play regarded by Aleksandr Blok as ‘the greatest work in Russian literature’. This edition features the censored text of 1833, prefaced by 100 introductory pages by K. Polevoj concerning his acquaintance with Griboedov. It was already considered a rarity in the 1870s and has been less frequent on the market than the first edition of 1833 (Smirnov-Sokol’skii). Kilgour 405; Smirnov-Sokol’skii 644. 16mo (150 x 65mm). With the engraved portrait frontispiece and the half-title, tipped-in thin paper leaves with slightly later annotations adding lines from later uncensored editions (occasional, mainly marginal spotting, lower margin of frontispiece trimmed). Contemporary Russian half calf over marbled boards, spine with title gilt and tooled in blind (upper hinge cracked at head and foot). Provenance : unidentified institutional stamp with shelfmark to rear endleaf.
