Vebigner ev Badgerner (Raffi, 1893)Description
After the author’s death, his wife, Anna Raffi, included Kusagrutyun (The Virginity) in the second volume of the collection Novellas and Sketches in 1893 (Tiflis, page 301). The texts included in this section are medium-length works by Raffi, which both the author and subsequent publishers have referred to as novellas. Due to volume constraints, it was not possible to arrange these works chronologically in the corresponding volumes. Additionally, the exact dates of the novellas’ writing, with one exception, remain unknown. Anna Raffi who had a greater opportunity to clarify such questions, also encountered difficulties in this matter. She wrote: “Raffi’s works do not have dates of writing, which would allow us to arrange them chronologically.” The lack of the author’s archive further complicates the process of verification. Although the editors have deviated from the general chronology for technical reasons, they have tried to preserve it as much as possible in this volume. Since the first book of Kaytsera does not complete the fourth volume’s size, it was deemed appropriate to include the novellas at the beginning of this volume.Inscription/Signature/Marks
