Каллиграфическое письмо Ф. М. Достоевского в рукописях к роману «Преступление и Наказание»
The Сalligraphy of Fedor Dostoevsky in His Manuscripts to the Novel “Crime and Punishment”

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the calligraphic records from the preparatory materials for the novel “Crime and Punishment” by Fedor Dostoevsky, contained in three notebooks (the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art. Fund 212.1.3–5). Th e author of the research paper puts forward the idea that all the languages in which the writer used to put down the information during his work, including the language of ideographic writing elaborated by Dostoevsky himself, require a new approach that would not distinguish the verbal and ideographic languages in the writer’s manuscript. Calligraphic notes made by Dostoevsky during his work keep record of new names, concepts and events that are absent in the printed texts by Dostoevsky and up to now remain little-studied and unclaimed, in spite of being an important source of information about the history of his works. This article fills the gap formed due to the inattention of the publishers of Dostoevsky’s texts paid to his ideographic notes made during the work on the novel “Crime and Punishment” and constituting a single information and semantic whole with all the other entries in his notebooks of 1864–1866.
