DERZHAVIN, Gavriil Romanovich (1743-1816). Sochineniia. Moscow: at the University Press, 1798.
The rare first edition of the collected works of 'one of the greatest and original of all Russian poets' who 'towered above' all the other verse writers of his century, 'for sheer imaginative power he is one of the small number of Russia's greatest poets' (Mirsky). Derzhavin is arguably the greatest Russian poet until Pushkin. Rare: RBH and ABPC record no copy of this first edition having been offered at auction; WorldCat locates only one copy outside of Russia: at Harvard College. N.M. Karamzin supervised the publication of this edition. This copy was formerly in the collection of Vladimir Timashev-Bering, author of short stories and poems, and occasional correspondent of Lev Tolstoy. Mirsky, pp.49-51; SK 1771; Smirnov-Sokol'skii, Moia Biblioteka, 86.
Octavo (220 x 144mm). Printed throughout on strong blue-tinted paper, complete with the errata leaf (light spotting on the title; occasional light soiling; very little light marginalia in a contemporary hand). Contemporary Russian mottled calf with black morocco spine, flat spine gilt in a large panel, red morocco label (spine head worn; label chipped; corners rubbed; sides lightly scuffed). Provenance: indistinct contemporary title signature – Vladimir Alekseevich Timashev-Bering (1854-1905, author; title blind-stamp).
