Sopikov 10151; Bitovt 1418; Smirdin 8188; Kilgour collection 486; Svodnyi kat. russ. knigi grazhd. pechati XVIII v., 2788. 18th century satire poetry by the father of modern Russian literature (acc. to Belinsky): Antiokh D. Kantemir (1708-1744). "His work reflects the scope and purpose of Peter the Great's European style reforms, standing out as a contribution to the integration of Russian culture into the world circuit of Classicism". Kantemir was a Russian diplomat in London and Paris, where he was a close friend of Voltaire and Montesquieu. Besides his own writing, he translated letters and poetry by, among others, Horace, Fontenelle, Boileau and Juvenal. Kantemir is known for his fables and poetry but his fame rests mainly on the satires, circulated in manuscript form for decades, but not published in Russia until 1762.
