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.

“Public library named after Herzen, the most worthy and cultural institution, where I spend so much time with pleasure and benefit, grateful N. Nikitin.
09/22/1941 "
In the collection of autographs of the Regional Scientific Library named after A.I. Herzen, there are 1323 editions with donations of famous writers, poets, scientists, fellow librarians, bibliophiles, who at different times were readers, employees or guests of our library. For the most part, these are our fellow countrymen, whom life has scattered across the cities and villages of Russia. The collection of autographs, as independently selected from the fund of valuable and rare books, began during the Great Patriotic War by the director of the library, Klavdia Mikhailovna Voikhanskaya (director since 1941), a connoisseur and connoisseur of books. Thanks to her work, the library was able to enrich its funds with unique publications, including books with autographs.
During the Great Patriotic War, the library was replenished with books by authors who were evacuated in Kirov and studied in the library. The very first gift of the war years was the book of the writer Nikolai Nikolayevich Nikitin (1895-1963) "It began in Kokand" (L., 1940), the autograph record of which is given as an epigraph. It was followed by other books, other authors.
Among those evacuated to Kirov from the front-line cities were people of different specialties: scientists, writers, artists.
The library's book wealth was used in their work by academicians E. V. Tarle and V. P. Potemkin, professors K. M. Bykov and V. M. Lazarev and many others. Evgeny Viktorovich Tarle (1875-1955) - historian, academician. During the Great Patriotic War, while being evacuated in Kirov, he studied at the regional library named after V.I. A. I. Herzen. As a sign of gratitude to the staff of the library, he presented his book with the inscription: “Warm greetings to the library to them. Herzen from E. Tarle 11/01/1942 Kirov "(Tarle E. V. Napoleon's invasion of Russia. 1812. M., 1938).
The title spread of the book by E. V. Tarle "Napoleon's Invasion of Russia"
Vladimir Petrovich Potemkin (1878-1945) - historian, academician, diplomat, just like Tarle, at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War was evacuated to Kirov. Here he, together with other scholars, continued to work on the multivolume edition of The History of Diplomacy. In the preparation of volumes 2 and 3, the funds of our library were used. In memory of this, Vladimir Petrovich presented the library with one volume of this edition with a dedicatory inscription: “The main library named after A. I. Herzen in Kirov is a truly cultural center of Vl. Potemkin 05.05.1942 "(History of diplomacy: in 2 volumes. T. 1. M., 1941).
During the Great Patriotic War, both scientific organizations and collectives of higher educational institutions, in particular, the Naval Medical Academy, were evacuated to Kirov and worked here. Teachers, researchers and students of the Academy actively used the funds of the regional library named after V.I. Herzen. During this period, scientific works and teaching aids were written and published. Individual copies of these editions were donated to the library funds with donative inscriptions of the authors of these books, in particular, professors K.M.Bykov and N.V. Lazarev, A.V. Triumfov. “To the Kirov City Library named after Herzen from the grateful author, the city of Kirov. 1943 "(Bykov KM The cerebral cortex and internal organs. Kirov, 1942).
“To the Herzen library from a grateful author who wrote this book in the mountains. Kirov and, in part, used the library's book collections. Prof. N. Lazarev. Kirov, 08/13/1944 "(Lazarev N.V. Non-electrolytes: the experience of their biological-physical-chemical systematics. L., 1944). "Library to them. Herzen from the author, grateful for the help in his work during his stay in Kirov 05/26/1944 "(Triumfov A. V. Topical diagnosis of diseases of the central nervous system: a short guide drawn up in relation to the course of practical training on nervous diseases. Kirov, 1943). According to the textbook of A.V. Triumfov (repeatedly revised and supplemented), students of medical universities are still studying today. Speaking about the war years, people and collectives who were in evacuation, one cannot but recall our Latvian friends: the editorial office of the newspaper "Tsinya" and one of its employees Anna Ottovnu Saks (Abzalon) (1905-1981). During the war years, the people's writer of Latvia lived and worked in the editorial office of the newspaper Tsinya in Kirov. Here she wrote her books, met with readers and wounded soldiers who were being treated in the hospital. In 1943, the Kirov Book Publishing House published a collection of her stories "The Life and Death of Liedag", and later (a year later) another collection, "Return to Life", which is kept in the library's collection of autographs, on which she left the following note: “To brave soldiers for the Soviet Motherland with greetings, Anna Saksa 12.07.1944. - To the sponsored hospital of the Herzen library. These books formed the basis of a collection of autographed books.

the book "Back to Life"
Later, the library staff (V.G.Shumikhin, A.I. Rusinova and others) began to identify editions with autographs from the library funds. This is how new interesting editions, new names, new autographs appeared in the collection. Among these publications were pre-revolutionary books autographed by P. V. Alabin, V. G. Korolenko, Count G. A. Miloradovich, A. M. Vasnetsov and others.
Pyotr Vladimirovich Alabin (1824–1896) served in Vyatka from 1857 to 1866 in the provincial specific office, and from 1859 as the manager of this office. He was a member of 9 committees and commissions, including trustees: about prisons, about a public library and others. In 1862, on a voluntary basis, he became the manager of the public library.
