Olga Il’ina. BOOK ON THE LIBRARY OF ALFRED LUDWIG BOHM

A Czech-Russian edition published at Prague in 2021, the book here reviewed examines the personal library of the prominent philologist of the Russia Abroad, Alfred Ludwig Bohm, stored in the Slavic Library in Prague. The comprehensive catalogue of the library records the composition and features of his collection: the marginalia, and the texts of inscriptions, many published for the first time. Archival documents and literary works of Bohm are used to annotate the entries. The main purpose of the library was to recreate an academic environment in emigration. The book contains unpublished archival photographs, reproduction of covers, title pages, and inscriptions and is addressed to researchers of the Russia Abroad, philologists, book experts, and bibliophiles.
