This is to share the sad news that yesterday, prominent Russian
Orientalist scholar Dr Olimpiada Scheglova passed away. Written by an
expert in the history of Persian lithographed books, Scheglova's
catalogues and books are indispensable for bibliographers and
researchers specializing in the history of printing and publishing in
Iran. Since Scheglova mainly published in Russian, her numerous
publications have probably not received the international attention they
deserve. Her English language publications include the following:

Lithograph Versions of Persian Manuscripts of Indian Manufacture in the
Nineteenth Century, Manuscripta Orientalia 5 (1999), pp. 12–22

The Repertoire of Books in Persian Published Lithographically in
Turkestan During 1883-1917, in History of Printing and Publishing in the
Languages and Countries of the Middle East, ed. Philip Sadgrove, Oxford:
Oxford UP, 2004, pp. 17-23

Lithography i. in Persia. In Encyclopaedia Iranica (2009)
http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/lithography-i-in-persia

Lithography ii. in India
http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/lithography-ii-in-india

Lithography iii. in Central Asia
http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/lithography-iii-in-central-asia

The following is the praise Scheglova received from Prof. Dr. Irina
Popova, director of the St. Petersburg Institute of Oriental
manuscripts, at the occassion of her jubilee in 2011 (copy-paste from
http://www.orientalstudies.ru/eng/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2762&Itemid=48)


Dr O. Shcheglova graduated from Leningrad State University, where she
was a disciple of Prof I.P. Petrushevsky. From 1958, she has worked at
our Institute, successfully carrying on traditions of Russian Iranian
Studies. She is a leading expert in the Persian tradition of
lithography. She was the first scholar worldwide to study in-depth
various issues of development of book printing in Iran, India, Central
Asia, to define the importance of this phenomenon for the spiritual
culture of Middle East. Her studies are based upon her long meticulous
work for the cataloguing of collections of Persian lithographs kept in
St Petersburg. Thanks to her highest professionalism, her catalogues can
be treated as precious sources of various information for scholars. She
issued more than 60 papers, including 6 monographs such as The Iranian
Lithographic Book [Иранская литографированная
книга] (Мoscow 1979, Persian translation published in Iran 2009),
two volumes of The Catalogue of Lithographic Books in Persian Kept at
the Leningrad Branch of the Institute of Oriental Studies, the USSR
Academy of Sciences [Каталог литографированных
книг на персидском языке в собрании ЛО
ИВ АН СССР] (Moscow 1975), The Catalogue of Lithographic Books
in Persian Kept at Leningrad State University [Каталог
литографированных книг на персидском
языке в собрании ЛГУ] (Moscow 1989), Lithographic Books
in Persian Published in India [Персоязычная
литографированная книга индийского
производства] (St Petersburg 2001), The Catalogue of
Lithographic Books in Persian Kept at the Russian National Library
[Каталог литографированных книг на
персидском языке из собрания
Российской национальной библиотеки]
(Moscow 2002). The latest book of Dr O. Shcheglova, The Lithographic
Book Printing in Persian in Turkestan and Bukhara
[Литографское книгоиздание на
персидском языке в Туркестане и Бухаре]
(St Petersburg 2011), was highly appraised by academics for the
author’s deep insight into the area of her study, accuracy of
statements and thoroughness in work. The Habilitation Dissertation by Dr
O. Shcheglova (defended in 1995) was also devoted to the study if
Persian lithographic books kept at various St Petersburg collections. Dr
O. Shcheglova takes an active part in social life of our Institute, she
was the academic secretary of the Department of Middle Eastern Studies
for more than 15 years.
