Dictionary of the Khazars
Milorad Pavić · Prosveta, Belgrade · 1984
Serbian is the true first (Prosveta, Belgrade, 1984), and the census note is incomplete rather than wrong: the male/female split is not a Knopf invention — it originates with the 1984 Belgrade original. For English the US precedes: Knopf, New York, 1988, ahead of the London editions recorded on the author's official bibliography (Hamish Hamilton, 1989, and Penguin, 1989). A complete set requires both the male and the female version at whichever level is collected — 1984 Belgrade and/or 1988 New York; a single version is an incomplete set by the author's own design.
