Marr, an academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences and a key figure in early Soviet linguistics, promoted a Marxist materialist approach to language origins, viewing it as a class-based superstructure evolving through stages tied to socio-economic formations. The collection, edited by prominent Georgian scholars (Mikheil Chikovani, Alexandre Ghlonti, Mikheil Chkhenkeli et al.), contains articles, tributes, analyses of Marr’s Japhetic linguistics, Caucasian philology, paleontology of speech, and his archaeological excavations (Ani, Mtskheta, etc.), all in the context of building a proletarian linguistics in the USSR. Texts appear in both Georgian and Russian, reflecting the bilingual academic environment of 1930s Soviet Georgia. Lavishly produced with portraits of Marr, illustrations (archaeological finds, linguistic charts), and in sturdy owner’s calico binding, this 333-page volume is a significant artifact of the peak period of Marrism before its official condemnation in 1950 (Stalin’s “Marxism and Problems of Linguistics”).

Each entry meticulously tracks phonetic changes and semantic shifts, providing a blueprint for the systematic investigation of common Turkic vocabulary. For historians of linguistics and scholars of Altaic studies, this thin 96-page volume is a critical primary source that documents the rigorous academic standards of the post-war Soviet school of orientalism. Its scarcity, due to the tiny circulation and its status as a specialized working document, makes it a highly sought-after item for collectors of rare linguistic imprints and those interested in the history of the Institute of Linguistics of the USSR Academy of Sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963141357610,"sku":"EB-306663090869","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_f6f2952c-7a36-4811-9f9b-b90be33d9521.jpg?v=1768161818"},{"product_id":"russian-scientific-notes-philology-1952-ученые-записки-русский-язык-филология","title":"Scientific Notes of the Kazan State V.

Published during the late Stalinist era under the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR, this specific book is dedicated to the research produced by the Department of the Russian Language. The editorial board was led by the university's rector, Professor D. Ya. Martynov, and featured an extraordinary assembly of Soviet academic elite, including the world-renowned chemist Boris Arbuzov and the distinguished mathematician Aleksandr Norden. The presence of such a high-level cross-disciplinary board for a philological collection underscores the rigorous state standards for academic validation during the post-war period. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of Soviet linguistics just two years after the publication of Stalin’s seminal work \"Marxism and Problems of Linguistics,\" including the arrangement of dialectological studies, historical grammar, and the evolution of the Russian lexicon in a socialist society.\u003cbr\u003eThe volume serves as a primary source for tracking the development of the \"Kazan School\" of linguistics, known for its structural depth and historical rigor. Beyond its philological value, the book is a testament to the administrative history of Kazan University, documenting the collaborative efforts of its leading professors and docents across various faculties. Printed in an enlarged format with a strictly limited circulation of just over 1,000 copies, this edition was primarily intended for university libraries and specialized research institutes, making it a rare find for bibliophiles and historians of Soviet science today. The fragile original softcover and high-quality 1950s typography reflect the traditional academic aesthetic of the era, preserved here as a significant artifact of the intellectual life in the Tatar ASSR.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963141455914,"sku":"EB-306663125155","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_606f550f-bf24-45b8-ad5a-5c258f8736a9.jpg?v=1768161822"},{"product_id":"tamaz-gamkrelidze-alphabetic-writing-and-the-old-georgian-script-1990-shanidze","title":"Gamkrelidze, T.

To ensure scholarly reach across the Soviet and post-Soviet academic space, the book includes a substantial multilingual apparatus with text in Georgian and Russian, making it a bridge between these linguistic traditions. The volume is further enhanced by numerous paleographic illustrations, being supplemented with charts and tables that demonstrate the development of alphabetic systems across the Mediterranean and the Near East.

Eteri Lomtadze’s The Ginukh Dialect of the Dido Language is a monographic study of the Ginukh dialect, part of the Dido (Tsez) language within the Nakh-Dagestanian language family. Published by the Academy of Sciences of the Georgian SSR, the book provides a detailed linguistic analysis of the phonetics, morphology, syntax, and lexicon of the Ginukh dialect, spoken in the Tsuntinsky District of the Dagestan ASSR (now Republic of Dagestan, Russia).\u003cbr\u003eScholarly Significance and Rarity: The Ginukh language (often classified here as a dialect of Dido\/Tsez) is famous in linguistic circles for its incredibly complex phonological and morphological systems. At the time of this publication, the number of speakers was extremely small (recorded in the hundreds), making Lomtadze’s fieldwork and systematic documentation vital for the survival of the language’s data. This edition provides an exhaustive look at the dialect's ergative construction, its rich system of noun classes, and its unique lateral consonants.\u003cbr\u003eThe Author's Autograph: This particular copy is of exceptional value as it features the original autograph and a presentation inscription by Eteri Alekseevna Lomtadze. A prominent scholar at the Tbilisi school of linguistics, Lomtadze was part of the generation of researchers who solidified Georgia's status as a global center for Ibero-Caucasian studies. An inscribed copy from such a specialized field is a rare find for academic collections.\u003cbr\u003ePublished with a limited print run of only 1,000 copies, this book was intended for the narrow circle of Caucasian scholars and university libraries.

The author, I. N. Shervashidze, was a prominent researcher at the Tsereteli Institute of Oriental Studies, a center renowned for its rigorous approach to the languages and cultures of the Near East and Central Asia.\u003cbr\u003eThe book focuses on the morphological structure of the verb in the Old Turkic runic inscriptions (also known as Orkhon-Yenisei inscriptions) dating from the 7th to the 10th centuries. These inscriptions, found on stelae and rocks in Mongolia and Southern Siberia, represent the earliest written records of a Turkic language. Shervashidze provides a meticulous analysis of verbal stems, tenses, moods, and aspectual forms, comparing them with later developments in Turkic linguistics.\u003cbr\u003eThe work is a significant contribution to Turkology, as it examines the evolution of the Turkic verbal system during its formative literary stage. Shervashidze’s research is essential for understanding how complex grammatical categories were expressed in the language of the early Khaganates. The study is grounded in a deep comparative analysis of the Orkhon, Yenisei, and Talas inscriptions, making it a vital resource for scholars of historical linguistics.\u003cbr\u003eWith a very limited print run of only 1,000 copies, this academic publication was intended for a narrow circle of orientalists, linguists, and historians of Central Asia.
