Résumé anglais Régis Gayraud, An unpublished compilation attributed to Il'ia Zdanevich. One of the numerous unpublished pieces in the archives of Il'ia Zdanevich and one of the rare specimens of the zaum' period of the poet is the lay-out of an anonymous compilation of 16 poems that we are presenting herewith. The page-setting is the customary one of the author and appropriate to the rich and diversified poetical language, made of deformations, shaping and crasis of words borrowed from Russian as well as from Oriental languages, such as Turkish, Georgian or Arab, but also of sounds deprived of meaning. The Oriental character of the poems, the theme of which might be a mock-heroic voyage in a desert with oases of blood and wine is reflected also in the graphism. In order to convey certain sonorities, Zdanevich intermingles Cyrillic and Arabic scripts without hesitation or shapes Cyrillic Letters into Arabic ones. In these poems, the zaum' is more descriptive than the one employed by the author in his "dra", and seems less directed towards the reader-listener's subcon-sciousness. This compilation might be ascribed to the end of the "rayonnist" period of the poet and would precede his first zaum' plays.
