THE ADAPTER FOREWORD

The proposed republication is based on the 1891 edition. The text was translated in the modern Russian spelling.
The following changes are maked in the source text:

  • the entries were re-arranged in order of the modern Russian alphabet order;
  • the references on the Bible were standardized;
  • the most of references on other sources were deciphered;
  • rare abbreviations were deciphered on their places in the text;
  • the rest of abbreviations were unified.
    The present edition does not include the illustrations which were in the source, mainly, because they lost their topicality.
