梁赞诺夫与《马克思恩格斯全集》历史考证版的渊源

Ryazanov and MEGA1

梁赞诺夫是《马克思恩格斯全集》历史考证版(MEGA1)的奠基人,他把一生都献给了马克思恩格斯著作、手稿、书信等的编辑出版事业。早在前MEGA1时期,他就提出了"维也纳出版计划",并且身体力行地编辑出版了《马克思恩格斯著作集:1852—1862》。十月革命的胜利则为他全面、系统地出版《马克思恩格斯全集》提供了历史机遇。他所进行的MEGA1编辑出版活动不仅使马克思恩格斯的大量文献学遗产重见天日,而且也为《马克思恩格斯全集》历史考证版新版(MEGA2)提供了源头活水。

David Ryazanov laid the foundation of MEGA1 (Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe),the historico-critical edition of all the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels then available.He devoted his life to the cause of editing and publishing their works,manuscripts and letters.Even before the MEGA1 project he had already proposed a 'Vienna Publishing Plan' and independently edited and published Selected Works of Marx and Engels:1852-1862.The victory of the October Revolution provided him with a historic opportunity to publish a comprehensive and systematic edition of MEGA1.His efforts not only brought to light a great many writings that might otherwise have been lost but also laid a firm foundation for the emergence of MEGA2.
