Genko completed the manuscript for this first comprehensive grammar of the Abaza language (Tapanta dialect) in 1934. However, his promising career was cut short by the Stalinist repressions; he was repeatedly arrested and ultimately died in a Leningrad prison during the blockade in 1941. His pioneering manuscript remained unpublished for over two decades until the post-Stalin \"Thaw\" allowed for his partial rehabilitation. Published posthumously in 1955 by the Institute of Linguistics in a highly restricted print run of just 1,000 copies, this book remains a cornerstone work for Caucasologists.\u003cbr\u003eThis specific volume holds exceptional provenance, having belonged to Evgeni Jeiranishvili, a highly respected Georgian linguist specializing in Caucasian languages (such as Udi). The combination of a posthumously published masterpiece by a repressed scholar, an exceptionally low print run, and the personal ownership signature of a noted fellow Caucasologist makes this an outstanding acquisition for academic institutions and private collectors of linguistic history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44621112344618,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_0300_0c66e999-53b4-4f51-895e-ad3ee6c5d847.jpg?v=1785207740","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/genko-a-n-the-abaza-language-grammatical-sketch-of-the-tapanta-dialect-abazinskii-yazyk-grammaticheskii-ocherk-narechiya-tapanta-first-edition-1955-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
