Volodymyr Hnatiuk Moscow edition - publisher's app eal

[FRISON Philippe]

Hello!

Same reply (I did not receive any concrete answer).
What are conditions (financial, preliminary estimate and others) ?

Would an recognized organization guarantee the seriousness of
this project ?

Could a possible contribution be transmitted through an organization
which would ensure that the money is used for the purpose described ?

Without concrete details it is not possible to make a decision...

Best regards

Philippe Frison

Subject: [SEELANGS] Volodymyr Hnatiuk Moscow edition - publisher's
appeal


I have sent this appeal in July and now am sending it second time in
hope that most of you came back from vocations.

Moscow academic publisher "Ladomir" is looking for a sponsor to
publish the first scientific edition of folklore collection by
Volodymyr Hnatiuk. The title of the volume will be "The Tales Not For
Print. Ukrainian Bawdy Folklore" ("Baiki Ne Dlia Pechati. Ukraiinski
Soromskoi Folklore") This collection was first published in the
beginning of XX century in Ukrainian (transliterated with Latin
letters) in two volumes. It came out as the supplement to Leipzig,
Germany periodical "Antropofiteya" where Ivan Franko made German
translation of the collection. Due to legal prosecution these books
were destroyed. Only a few copies are left in some major libraries.
Ladomir edition will have this collection published in Ukrainian (in
Cyrillic transliteration) and in Russian translation. Scientific
paper with commentaries will be included in the book. V. Hnatiuk
important work Ukrainian Folk Linguistics (Ukrainskaya Narodnaya
Slovesnost) along with bibliography of his major works will be also a
part of this edition.
This collection of Ukrainian Folklore is not less important then
Afanasiev's "Secret Tales" (A. N. Afanasiev "Zavetniye Skazki"), and
undertaking of such scientific publication will make it available for
scholars.
Russian official science both in Soviet times and now is ignoring
Hnatiuk's legacy, who was most prominent scholar of his time. Thus
Ladomir's edition of V. Hnatiuk will achieve two goals - it will
provide scholars with priceless texts and will pay a tribute to the
remarkable scholar.
Please contact "Ladomir" directly: Mr. Yuri Mikhailiov
