Trakat o sploshnom neprilichii (Treatise on Total Indecency).
ZDANEVICH, ILYA. Igor' Terent'ev.
Tiflis:
41û,
1919.
Within original illustrated wrappers with typographical design by Zdanevich. 15 pp. This typographically elaborate edition is Terent'ev's most ambitious theoretical pamphlet. "Entire words or their parts are printed here in special, sometimes bizarre, print; some letters are lying on their sides, Latin letters are mixed with Cyrillic ones....The treatise is written in a conventional manner with a constant emphasis on the zaum possibilities of each work....Thought seems to grow out of sound." (Markov)
Rowell/Wye 255, illus. p. 118; Markov pp. 360-361, The Look of Russian Literature, pp. 192-193, figures 150-152
