Dear Jansy and Peter Dale,
In one of the essays that I hope to write I will show that Ada's "ardor," "Ardis" refer to a certain T. Ardov (pseudonym of Vladimir Tardov, a specialist in Farsi and a poet, translator of "minor Persian poets" ), author of several "extremely interesting, even exciting" (Rozanov) articles that appeared in the newspaper Utro Rossii ("The Morning of Russia"). Vasiliy Rozanov (1856-1919), a philosopher whom Nabokov met, dedicated to Ardov's articles in "The Morning of Russia" an extremely interesting (for an Ada specialist) essay, Vozle "russkoi idei" (Near "the Russian Idea"), 1911, included in Rozanov's book "Among the Artists."
