About the collection of books with autographs. Collections Personal reception of citizens

Since ancient times, libraries have been a collection and repository of books that embody all the knowledge accumulated by mankind.

In the central city library named after A.S. Pushkin, amazing book monuments are kept. These are rare and especially valuable editions, which are part of the national library fund, as well as collections of books that are of particular importance only when they are combined together on any basis. The library has a room for book collections, which houses four book collections: "Pushkiniana", "Rarity", "Miniature", "Autograph".

All of them are included in the regional collection of book monuments of the Kirov region and are regularly updated.

"Pushkiniana"

"Pushkiniana" is the oldest and largest book collection. All materials included in it are associated with the name of A.S. Pushkin. This collection has been collected since the opening of our library, since 1900. Today the collection includes almost 1,500 titles: books, audio and video tapes, discs. In addition, the collection includes sets of postcards, paintings, photographs, figurines, various souvenirs presented by readers or purchased by the library staff.

During its existence, the library has collected a unique Pushkin fund, which includes:

• collected works of the poet of different years of publication and different publishing houses;
• individual works;
• publications of a literary nature;
• memoir literature;
• reference books, encyclopedias, dictionaries;
• children's books;
• sheet music;
• bibliographic materials;
• videotapes with feature films and documentaries;
• audio recordings of romances to poems by A.S. Pushkin and his works performed by theater artists;
• disks with feature films and documentaries, audiobooks and musical works;
• rotaprint editions;
• books in foreign languages.
• mini - editions of works by A.S. Pushkin

The oldest edition dates back to 1855. The collection includes books published by the most famous publishers at the turn of the century: A.S. Suvorin, I. D. Sytinin, F. Pavlenkovov, M.O. Wolf, I. Knebel and many others. The collection includes the complete collection of works by A. Pushkin, consisting of 19 volumes. The collection also includes editions of individual works: fairy tales, poems, plays, stories, novels.

The pride of "Pushkiniana" is "The complete works of A.S. Pushkin "in one volume. The book was published by F. Pavlenkov in St. Petersburg for the centenary of the poet's birth. At the time, it was a sumptuous tome, large format, bound in leather and gold. The book is decorated with a portrait of A.S. Pushkin (engraving by V. Mate) and 160 illustrations.

Stored in the fund “Album in memory of A.S. Pushkin (1837-1887) ", released in St. Petersburg on the 50th anniversary of the death of the poet in 1887.

In addition to the works of Alexander Sergeevich himself, this collection also includes books by famous literary critics who studied Pushkin's work. Among them are Yu. Lotman, B. Tomashevsky, N. Skatov, P. Shcheglov, B. Meilakh and others. The collection contains interesting studies on the genealogy of A. Pushkin. These are, for example, "Descendants of the Great Tree" by V. Polushin and "The Millennial Tree of A. S. Pushkin" by A. Cherkashin.

Among the especially interesting editions of Pushkiniana are the "Dictionary of the language of A. Pushkin" in 4 volumes and "Dictionary of Pushkin's winged expressions". On the 200th anniversary of the birth of Pushkin, the "Pushkin Encyclopedia" was published. It includes a biography, a chronology of the poet's work, memories of his contemporaries. In addition, the "Encyclopedia" includes articles and essays by famous Russian writers, revealing their understanding of the great poet's work and its significance for Russian literature and culture. Another edition - "Onegin Encyclopedia" - the first experience of creating an encyclopedia entirely devoted to one novel, "Eugene Onegin". It contains articles that analyze in detail the work, from the peculiarities of the culture of the Pushkin era and ending with the philosophical motives of the novel.

In "Pushkiniana" there are collected books concerning not only Pushkin himself, but also covering many aspects of the Pushkin era. Here are books about Pushkin's contemporaries, about the literature of this time, about the noble life of Pushkin's time, about Moscow and St. Petersburg in the time of Pushkin. There are books in the collection about the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum - the alma mater of the great poet. The collection includes books dedicated to N.N. Goncharova, examining her biography and life after the death of A.S. Pushkin.

The collection also includes videotapes with wonderful films based on the works of Alexander Pushkin. The collection also contains discs with feature films and documentaries, as well as audio books. For example, these are discs with the audio performance "Eugene Onegin", the audiobook "Belkin's Tale", etc. There are also research materials on electronic media, for example, the book by Y. Tynyanov "Pushkin".

Thus, "Pushkiniana" is a collection of materials that study not only the work of the great poet, but also allow one to get an idea of ​​the Pushkin era as a whole.

"Miniature"

This collection includes books of no more than 10x10 cm in size. It has about 80 titles. These are individual works of art by Russian and foreign authors, multivolume publications, reference and encyclopedic publications, industry publications, books in foreign languages. Among the works of the classics of literature presented in the collection are the lyrics of Tyutchev, Yesenin, Blok, Tsvetaeva, Akhmatova, the works of Lermontov, Kuprin, Zoshchenko, etc. From the classics of foreign literature, the collection includes, for example, the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, Schiller, Beranger, Balzac , Maupassant. Many of them have a very interesting decoration: gold trimmings, satin bookmarks, dust covers, bright illustrations. The size of the smallest book in the collection is 38x45 mm - the collection "Epigrams: Germany, Spain, France, Russia". However, this is not the smallest edition in our library. The collection "Pushkiniana" includes the book by Alexander Pushkin "The Bronze Horseman", the dimensions of which are 15x25 mm. The largest format is 100x100 mm.

"Rarity"

Rare and valuable books in the library. A.S. Pushkin began to collect in a separate fund recently, only in 2004. The collection includes valuable books of the late 19th – first half of the 20th centuries, books published in a small print run of up to 15,000 copies, and reprinted editions. Today the collection includes 430 titles - books on various branches of science, works of art by domestic and foreign authors, including collected works, periodicals.

Among the branch books, it is worth noting the excellently printed History of Russian Literature of the 19th century, edited by D. N. Ovsyansky - Kulikovsky, published in 1911, as well as the illustrated collected works of Charles Darwin, published by Yu. Lepkovsky in 1909.

A very valuable publication - “Catalog of the Vyatka City Public Library named after A.S. Pushkin "for 1915. It was printed on Vyatka in the printing house of M.M. Shklyaev. It is known from the stamps that the catalog was in the funds of the State Public Library of Leningrad, on the shelves of the storage of the Scientific Research Institute of Bibliology. Looking into it, you can find out that at the beginning of the last century, Pushkin's book fund numbered 9 thousand copies.

One of the most unique editions of the collection is the lifetime edition of Nikolai Goncharov's collected works of 1884 “with a portrait of the author, engraved by Academician I.P. Pity, and facsimile. " This collected work was donated in the 1980s. from the home library of N.D. Zarubina is in excellent condition. Also worth noting are selected works of N.V. Gogol in two volumes of 1901. This edition was published in Vyatka, at the Mayisheeva printing house. Drawings for it were made by famous Russian artists I. E. Repin, V. E. Makovsky, I. N. Kramskoy, A. M. and V. M. Vasnetsov, N. N. Khokhryakov.

It's nice to hold in your hands the "Poems of A. Koltsov" published in 1892 in St. Petersburg. This is the first complete collection with biographical sketch, critical articles, footnotes, portraits and 39 drawings and vignettes by members of the Association of Russian Illustrators. The binding of a book is a work of art in typography.

The collection "Rarity" includes publications by Russian writers at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries. The most interesting edition of Griboyedov in 1875. Also in the collection there are Dostoevsky's books published in 1888 and 1895, several volumes from the collected works of Turgenev, published in 1883, as well as publications by Zhukovsky, Lermontov, Nekrasov, Tolstoy in the 1900s.

Separately, it should be said about the series of books "Library of Great Writers" edited by S. A. Vengerov. This series was published by the Brockhaus - Efron publishing house in the 1910s. The collection contains the collected works of Schiller and Shakespeare. The decoration for the books of the series was made by the famous artist and book graphic artist E. Lancere. Collected works of Schiller and Shakespeare are presented in other editions. For example, in the publication of the publishing house "Academia" 1935 -1936.

Recently, the collection has been replenished with a unique edition, which was donated to the library by Elena Anatolyevna Makhlaeva, director of the Kirov City Science and Natural Museum. This is a facsimile reproduction of the Ostromir Gospel.

The Aprakos Gospel of 1056-1057 - a contribution to the cathedral church of Novgorod by the eminent voivode and mayor Ostromir (in the baptism of Joseph) - in the main part of the text contains the Gospel daily portions from Easter to Pentecost, as well as Saturday and Sunday readings for the following weeks of the year. In addition, it includes the Gospel readings according to Months and a number of additional readings. But, according to NN Lisovoy, an employee of the State Historical Museum, "it is also a historical source that tells about the events and people of its time, their philosophical views and political predilections."

Among the periodicals, the most interesting is the children's magazine "Firefly" for 1916. We have the opportunity to see with our own eyes what was offered for reading to children almost a hundred years ago.

"Autograph"

The collection contains books with donative inscriptions of the authors. These are figures of literature, art and science, as well as local historians and just readers. The library fund began to be replenished with donation books from the very first year of its existence. Today this collection numbers about 300 items. These are both fiction books and books on various branches of science. Most of the collection consists of books with donative inscriptions of writers - our fellow countrymen. It should be noted that among them there are quite well-known names. For example, the collection contains several books autographed by A. Likhanov. The collection also contains books with autographs of V. Krupin, B. Porfiriev, V. Sitnikov, O. Lyubovikov and others. There are books in the collection of our famous local historian A.G. Tinsky. On the centenary of the opening of the library to them. A.S. Pushkin was presented with a Bible with an inscription of Metropolitan Chrysanthus of Vyatka and Sloboda. In this collection there is a book with a dedication of the Vasnetsov family, descendants of the famous artist - itinerant Viktor Vasnetsov. Of particular interest are books with autographs by L. Gurchenko and K. Shulzhenko. Thanks to the author's handwritten inscription, the book becomes one of a kind and acquires literary, historical, and cultural value.

There are no other people's children

There are no other people's children

I am writing a book. For a moment
When on the title of their own books
With their fugitive scribbles
I mark the place, date, name.
Not an inscription, but a drawing. Not a string -
An arrow - that hand threw it
That, by the way, she wrote this book.
Here the author and the reader are at the beginning
They stand together, like at the beginning of days.
Writing is easy, writing is more difficult.
Lev Ozerov

"Discovery" first
There is a concept "autograph", is there - "Inscript"... An autograph is, on the one hand, the original manuscript of the author, on the other, a handwritten signature. When they say "autograph" today, they mean exactly the second meaning of the word and apply it most often to some celebrities: writers, actors, musicians, athletes, etc. It is their handwritten signatures that are valued, there are even people who collect autographs, such peculiar "Hunters" for autographs of celebrities. However, if the dedication is not just a signature, but a kind of dedication phrase, and it was left not on a piece of paper, but on a book or some other valuable object (painting, gramophone record, etc.), then it is already called an inscript.

In the case of our library, the most common version of the inscript is the phrase: "State universal scientific library from the author" or "A gift from the author", but there are also many other interesting memorable inscriptions addressed to the library and future book readers.

Inscripts from the collection of Kraevushka: 1) The State Universal Scientific Library of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the reader of which I have the honor to be for over 40 years, with respect and wishes for new achievements. E. Preisman; 2) This book is for the place where I have been, I have been and will be often and a lot. Thanks to your team of the State Universal Scientific Library of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Thank you very much! 12/19/2013. I. Shein; 3) The most welcoming library from the writer. I wish as many readers as possible, corrosive, but neat. S. Kuznechikhin. 17.04.10. Krasnoyarsk; 4) Owners, owners and guests of the Regional Library - with best wishes - author A. Shcherbakov; 5) I would be glad if our many years of work about our beloved city will be in demand ... 09.06.2011 A. Shemryakov.

"Discovery" second
Gift inscriptions on books very rarely become the subject of attention of researchers, as a special literary genre with its own poetics, function and rules. An interesting exception is Abram Reitblat's article "Towards the Sociology of Inscript", published in his book "Writing Across: Articles on Biography, Sociology, and Literary History" (Moscow, 2014).
Despite the theoretical lack of study of the topic, you can find many articles about writers' autographs / inscriptions. Most of these are original essays, bibliophile essays, introductory articles to the publication of the scripts. Such works are very interesting to read, they are imbued with great love and respect for the book and literature in general, but as L. Ozerov wrote in his article, this is "Working outlines of possible further research".

Inscripts often become the starting point for understanding cultural ties, the relationship between the donor and the gifted, provide additional information about the life of a particular writer. So, last year, we found in our collection a book by Alexander Shmakov "The Petersburg Exile" with a dedicatory inscription: “To the readers of the Krasnoyarsk regional library from a fellow countryman, now a resident of the Urals. Al. Shmakov. "Yenisei meetings 73"... This script "told" us about how the book got into the library and that its author is directly related to our region. This made it possible to identify one more intersection of the name of Radishchev with Krasnoyar.

You can also find many works telling about collections of books with scripts, both private and library. By the way, our library did not stand aside, colleagues from the department of the main book storage in 2014 became the authors of the article "A stroke into eternity"

Inscripts from the Kraevushka collection: 1) To friends of the library workers. Read, but do not be jealous, there is nothing. Sorry for the joke. Sincerely. July-21-1969. M. Glozus; 2) To readers of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Library from a fellow countryman, now a resident of the Urals. Al. Shmakov. "Yenisei Meetings 73"; 3) Dear friends: book lovers-readers of the Regional Library named after V.I. Lenin. With deep gratitude for your attention. Yours, Ivan Sibirtsev. November 1971; 4) Pyotr Stepanovich Trofimov in memory of the meeting on his return from the front. I. Eroshin. 1.09.1945

Getting acquainted with the literature on the topic, I found interesting, very figurative statements about autographs, some of which I cite below:

Lev Ozerov (poet): “It turns out to be a serious matter - to inscribe a book. Take your time, think, do it from the heart. Or don't do it at all. The inscription is a personal historical notch on the book. Your note, placed in a bottle, which the waves of time will hand over to your descendants. By the inscription on the book, your creative behavior will be judged with the same rigor as your work itself. Your belated comment or your belated regret will not be taken into account. You will not be there, but the book will remain "(from the collection" Meetings with the book ", Moscow, 1979)

Anatoly Markov (bibliophile): “... the lines of dedication left by the authors many years ago are like the light of distant stars ... I would like to stare at the cherished, warm words of sometimes noticeably faded autographs for a long time - everything here arouses interest: by whom and to whom, where and when, and sometimes in connection with what circumstance the book was donated<…>The books, on the pages of which writers, poets, composers, painters and actors left donating lines in the past years, sometimes give the impression that they still keep the warmth of their hands! " (from the book "The Magic of an Old Book", Moscow, 2004)

Olga Golubeva (librarian): "If a book is a kind of witness to the era, then the autographs on them are micro-letters addressed to friends and acquaintances" (from the book "In the world of book treasures", Leningrad, 1988)

V.P. Astafiev's transcripts: 1) V. Astafiev. December 13, 1986 Krasnoyarsk; 2) Stole, did not steal, what difference does it make - you will still be an honest deceased! (the wisdom of the Siberian eccentric) V. Astafiev; 3) I want to believe as long as the word is alive, the city of my childhood will also be alive, maybe the joy of the release of this book will give hope to all Russian people, and to us, the Igarians, in the first place. V. Astafiev. February 14, 1998, Krasnoyarsk.

"Discovery" third
It turns out there are no rules. Despite the fact that the custom to leave original donation inscriptions on books appeared a long time ago, a definite etiquette has not been worked out. The transcript is placed in a place free of text and images; it may contain short or verbose text in prose or poetry, drawings. It is up to the author to decide which part of the book will become a place for a memorable flourish. Even the most famous writers approached this issue in very different ways. In the book "Autographs of Poets of the Silver Age" (Moscow, 1995) 397 autographs of various authors are facsimile reproduced, including A. Akhmatova, A. Blok, K. Balmont, V. Bryusov, S. Yesenin, I. Severyanin, V. Mayakovsky and etc. So, their inscripts are located both on the title pages of books, and on endpapers, short titles, reverse short titles, advance titles, reverse titles, blank pages in front of the title page and even on the cover, 1st page, or arbitrarily on some other page ...

It turns out, answering my own question, I have to conclude that all possible options for staging the inscripts are correct. I admit! All are right! But at this very moment the librarian "wakes up" in me.

Often, being completely logical from the point of view of the author, the dedication can be completely "inconvenient" for the librarian. Why, you ask? But in the library books do not lie still - they are read, used in exhibition activities. In the latter case, books with autographs receive more attention, often they act as a kind of accents of book exhibitions. And now, let's say we have an interesting script that I really want to show, and it is located on the flyleaf. In this case, the book opened on the site of the dedication will not tell the visitor of the exhibition at all, because the author's signature is not always readable and recognizable. In order to understand whose stroke we see what kind of book is in front of us, it is necessary to look at the title page or cover. Such problems will not arise if the autograph / script is initially put on the title page, then it immediately becomes clear who, to whom, in honor of what, and, often, when the present was presented. Another point - books are not eternal. Actively read books sooner or later come to such a state when they need repair / binding. In many cases, when binding, especially when the main block of the book has torn off the cover as a result of use, a complete replacement of the endpaper is required. But what if the author left a donation inscription on the flyleaf? This is again the situation when difficulties would not have arisen if the autograph had been put on the title page.

Of course, this is the subjective opinion of one librarian, you can disagree with him, but I think there is some truth in the above.

Inscripts from the book collection "M. Uspensky's Library": 1) Dear Misha, to be honest - you are, of course, a genius. But do not leave us for the Muscovites or even the Atlanteans who hold the sky - to St. Petersburg ... Roman Solntsev; 2) To the wonderful writer and the wisest of all my fellow writers and feasts - Misha Uspensky from the author - E. Rusakov. December 95. Happy New Year, Misha and Nelya! E.R .; 3) Mikhail Uspensky with great joy that I can give it personally. 6.03.09. M. Streltsov.

P.S .: if you ever want to hold in your hands, read books with autographs / writers' signatures, come to our library! Autographed editions are available to all readers, information about them is concentrated in the Electronic Catalog. Just pay attention to the detailed description of the books, there will be a note "There is an autograph".
