Fonvizin

[Russell Valentino]

>Dear Colleagues,

I have come across a reference in an Italian-language text to "l'epistola
di Fonvizin *Al mio intelletto*." I am not aware of a text by Fonvizin that
would translate in this way and suspect the author has in mind Kantemir's
"K umu svoemu." The context is a discussion of how important letter writing
has been in the history of Russian culture. This text is simply listed as
an example without any discussion of its content. If anyone knows of a
Fonvizin epistle that might be rendered as "al mio intelletto" in Italian,
I would be very grateful for the reference.
