Abstract:

The paper deals with Tatiana G. Tsiavlovskaya’s autographs on two books which belong to Ivan N. Rozanov’s Russian Poetry Library (the Alexander Pushkin State Museum). Mstislav A. Tsiavlovskii and I. Rozanov met first in the mid-1910s. Then their creative and friendly relations lasted for many years. While working on the “Alexander Pushkin’s Chronicle of the life and work,” Tsiavlovskii often turned to Rozanov for references, borrowed books from his library. T.G. Tsiavlovskaya published the “Alexander Pushkin’s Chronicle of the life and work” after her husband’s death in 1951. She presented a copy of the book to I.N. Rozanov in 1952 with the commentary “In memory of Mstislav Alexandrovich.” In 1965, Rozanov’s widow Ksenia A. Martsishevskaya donated her husband’s library to the Alexander Pushkin State Museum. The date of the second T. Tsiavlovskaya’s inscription, made on the imprint of her article “New autographs of Pushkin in the Russian edition of ʽIvanhoe’ by Walter Scott,” is April 13, 1966. It is addressed to K.A. Martsishevskaya — “a person absolutely extraordinary, even over extraordinary.” The diary entries of I.N. Rozanov of the second half of 1929 (Private collection) allow to establish the date of I. Rozanov and T. Tsiavlovskaya acquaintance. These records are also published for the first time.

Keywords: Pushkin studies, books with inscriptions, book collections, Ivan N. Rozanov, I. Rozanov’s diaries, Mstislav A. Tsivalovskii, Tatiana G. Tsiavlovskaya, Ksenia A. Martsishevskaya.
