Pushkin: check the edition prepared by the Akademiia nauk publishing house

[David Powelstock]

I looked at the textual variants in the 1937—1959 Academic Edition and found no reading that has "nad shapkoiu." Incidentally, you can find this and other editions at www.feb-web.ru.
Cheers,
David

Subject: [SEELANGS] Pushkin: check the edition prepared by the Akademiia nauk publishing house

Dear Robert,

An hour ago or so I and Bob Russell checked chapter 7 of "Kapitanskaia dochka"
as it appears in the 10-volume edition prepared by the academy of Sciences
(this volume was published in 1950). It has the phrase "pod shapkoiu". Given
the fact that this passage describes a cossac riding a horse, I would imagine
that a part of his letter became visible because his cap/hat was slightly
displaced...
Yes, here in the departmental library we also have an annotated version of the
story prepared for English students that has a line' on derzhal list bumagi nad
shapkoiu". But I thnk that the edition of Pushkin's works prepared by the
Academy Science is the most authoritive of all. I'm sure you could find it in
the SEEES's library. As far as I remeber, the library has two editions of
Pushkin's works prepared by the Academy of Science.

All best,
Sasha
