Karamzin’s will leaves no money, only boxes and a trunk of books. ✍️
Karamzin’s will leaves no money, only boxes and a trunk of books. ✍️ On 12 May 1816 the historian Nikolai Karamzin wrote a note headed “Karamzin’s Will”. The note is short and all about six boxes of handwritten works of his and one large trunk of his books The editors of his letters point out that Karamzin wrote in black ink, which he preferred because of his weak eyesight. Almost everything that survives of him survives in his own hand. On Thursday 19 November our Curated Discussion looks at what disappears together with handwritten text. Bring a pen. Curated Discussion Your Hand Speaks Thursday, 19 November, 19:30–22:00 In person Register at glitterati.ru
