Catalogue Note
The first edition was published in 1913 but this enlarged 1914 edition is not an exact reprint, the order of the entries being changed, text altered or left out, and new selections and illustrations added rather randomly by the acting editor-publisher, Shershenevich. Apart from the Burliuks, other contributors were Bolshakov, Kamenskii, Kruchenykh, Livshits, Mayakovsky, Khlebnikov and Shershenevich.
