23. Ivan Kotliarevs'kyi (1769-1838)
Virgilieva Eneida
(Virgil's Aeneid)
Publication of the work's first three parts in St. Petersburg in 1798 was funded by M. Parpura, but appeared without the author's consent. In subsequent parts of the book Kotliarevs'kyi, angry at the publisher, included him in the scene of hell. Part four appeared in 1809. Parts five and six appeared around 1820, but the first full edition of the work (with a glossary) was published only after his death, in Kharkiv in 1842.
Gift of Omeljan Pritsak, February 1971.
