work
"Ряса" ("The Cassock")
The Cassock
also: Ряса, The Cassock, The Ryasa
A work by Mikhail Nilovich Albov himself, which Chekhov asks to borrow in this letter, not having read it yet -- 'Take pity on a sick man.' Distinct from the corpus's general clerical-garment concept entities, which gloss the everyday monastic/clerical robe rather than this titled literary work of Albov's.

This is a title of Albov's, not Chekhov's; distinct from the corpus's general clerical-garment concept entities, which gloss the everyday object rather than a titled literary work.
