GRIBOEDOV, Aleksandr Sergeevich (1795-1829). Gore ot uma. [Woe from Wit.] St Petersburg: at the Military Press, 1839.
The very rare second edition of Griboedov's satirical masterpiece, published here in an attractive quasi-miniature format. RBH and ABPC record no copy having been offered at auction. As early as 1875 Garusov remarked that 'this edition was already very rare many years ago... and today can only be found with difficulty' (quoted in Smirnov-Sokol'skii). 'Examples of this edition are found less often than examples of the first edition of 1833' (Smirnov-Sokol'skii). Kilgour 405; Smirnov-Sokol'skii 644.
16mo (88 x 60mm). With the engraved portrait frontispiece (lacking leaf 2.1 of the biographical note; some short tears, one with small loss in leaf 2*.1 of text; occasional light soiling). Contemporary half leather, spine gilt (corners rubbed).
