Атрибутивные признаки рукописей коллекции И. П. Лаптева
Attributive Indications of the Manuscripts in the Collection of I. P. Laptev

Summary/Abstract: The paper looks at the attributive features of the manuscripts, which belonged to Ivan Petrovich Laptev, a merchant, a bibliophile and one of the first significant Russian manuscript book collectors, that the author was able to identify. His collection was sold off at an auction in 1840 and is in need of reconstruction. Various markers that were preserved on Laptev’s manuscripts would help to do this. These markers include ink-made numbers (on the inner side of the top cover of the binding and inside the books), blind stamps from printing with the owner’s initials and ancient coins, various marks left by Laptev himself and his family members, as well as silk bookmarks glued to page margins.
