Published during the height of the Russian Civil War by the prestigious Sabashnikov brothers, this volume serves as a high-quality photographic reprint (facsimile) of the nearly lost 1800 first edition prepared by Count A. I. Musin-Pushkin and edited by A. F. Malinovsky.\u003cbr\u003eBecause the original 1800 edition was almost entirely destroyed in the Fire of Moscow during Napoleon's invasion in 1812, this 1920 Sabashnikov reproduction became a vital primary source for scholars and bibliophiles. It preserves the exact orthography and layout of the editio princeps, allowing readers to experience the text as it first appeared to the public in the 19th century.\u003cbr\u003eThe volume is enhanced by the rigorous academic contributions of Professor M. N. Spiransky, a leading expert on Old Russian literature, whose accompanying article provides a deep philological context. Additionally, the inclusion of A. F. Malinovsky’s facsimile provides unique insight into the editorial process of the original 1800 discovery. The bilingual structure—featuring the XII-century original and a \"modern dialect\" translation—makes this heroic epic of Prince Igor's ill-fated campaign against the nomadic Polovtsians accessible to a new generation of readers.\u003cbr\u003eFor collectors of rare Slavica, historians of the Russian language, and bibliophiles interested in the Sabashnikov legacy, this 1920 edition is a cornerstone. It represents the survival of Russian cultural heritage through the lens of early 20th-century scholarly excellence, bridgeing the gap between the medieval past and the modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963161542698,"sku":"EB-306299379936","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_ebfbfa44-750e-498b-9da3-c78823d05647.jpg?v=1768162067","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/the-tale-of-igors-campaign-reprint-from-1st-ed-1920-%d1%81%d0%bb%d0%be%d0%b2%d0%be-%d0%be-%d0%bf%d0%be%d0%bb%d0%ba%d1%83-%d0%b8%d0%b3%d0%be%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b2%d0%b5","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
