Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the study of the draft manuscript of F. M. Dostoevsky “The Diary of a Writer” (1877) and, in particular, the notes on Nekrasov. The paper examines graphological and lingvotextual aspects of the manuscripts’ study and identifies methodologically important terms of reading and understanding handwritten text of F. M. Dostoyevsky. They include comparisons of spelling characteristics with characteristics of handwriting; a study of punctuation; the main principle of context; and definition of semantic contradictions in manuscripts’ publications. The conducted analysis is instrumental in the reconstruction of the author’s original texts
