Earliest Slavic isogloss map?

[Tom Priestly]

I am writing a 'chapter' on the pre-1914 history of Slavic dialectology for
a mammoth History of Linguistics.  One section will be on cartography.
The earliest map I have found is by Mixal'c^uk in 1872 - a map of dialect areas.

But what of the earliest  cartography of a specific linguistic feature,
i.e., with actual isoglosses?
I have a reference to Frinta (1916), who attempted to map the consonant /v/
for the whole Slavic-speaking territory.

But I have an uneasy feeling that Aleksandar Belic''s

"Dialektologic^eskaja karta serbskogo jazyka," Sbornik statej po
slavjanovedeniju, 1-59. St. Petersburg: Vtoroe otdelenie Imperatorskoj
akademii, 1905

(also published as a separate booklet in 1906, according to some sources) -

which I have not seen -

probably shows the extent of  kaj/c^a/s^to, and/or of ije/je/e. So it would
be the first (as far as I would know) to actually have isoglosses for
feature(s), rather than "areas" of (sub)dialects. - It is not in the U of
Alberta library.

If anyone has this in their library, and can send me a photocopy by fax, I
shall be VERY grateful. And so will Wayles Browne (to whom I'll send a
further copy): the Cornell library doesn't have it either.
Thanks!Tom Priestly
