Roman Legions edit

Thanks for your response about the legality of Roman legions operating within Italia. I've noted that there is a common belief in many articles (see Sejanus and Praetorian guard) in the illegality of legions existing "south of the Rubicon". Do you have any (references/recommended texts/places to start) with regards to straightening out this possible misconception? --Vedexent (talk) - 14:48, 31 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Caveat ?? edit

(reply to your comment in the three laws of robotics talk page)

All I can get from looking up "caveat" is the gist that you worry a lot ? This page has some cool things to put in negative eBay feedback Machete97 (talk) 22:14, 21 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Matryosha edit

My translation of Demons (Maguire) describes Matryosha as 14 years old, but later when Stavrogin is recounting his vision he describes her as 10 years old. Pevear and Volokhonsky have the same thing and Constance Garnett only has 14. Frank describes her as 12 years old as do some other secondary sources, so I went with 12. Is there a source for "in her 12th year"? Is it from an uncensored version of the chapter? Harold the Sheep (talk) 05:29, 27 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

The Modern Library edition of 1935 includes the censored chapter as an appendix, translated by that edition's editor, Avrahm Yarmolinsky. He states that the source is the original proof sheets set up (although not used) for the serialization in Russi vestnik. He also compared them with the manuscript copy, in the handwriting of the second Madame Dostoyevsky, Anna Grigoryevna, who was also Dostoyevsky's stenographer. Yarmolinsky says that marginal notes on the proof sheets show that Dostoyevsky made several attempts to alter and tone down the chapter, none of which changed the magazine's mind. In the original, in Stavrogin's manuscript, when Matryosha's mother beats her because she thinks Matryosha stole a penknife, Stavrogin writes that she "raised welts on her, before my very eyes, although the child was already in her twelfth year."
