# Title: Collected Writings and Letters of Ignatius Clivowycz
|
|
|
|
The **Collected Writings and Letters of Ignatius Clivowycz** is a slim volume of content
|
|
compiled, edited, and self-published by Ignatius Clivowycz, a prominent Disquietist leader
|
|
and citizen of the [[First Quartile]]. Although presented as a compilation of his extant
|
|
writings, scholars now believe that most of the documents were written specifically for
|
|
this publication. For one, the flow and development of his arguments over the
|
|
//Collected Writings and Letters// is suspiciously coherent for a collection of ostensibly
|
|
unrelated content. For another, most of the letters are addressed to people who do not
|
|
actually exist.
|
|
|
|
Though undoubtedly a vanity project—it is painfully evident that Clivowycz is trying
|
|
rather too hard to seem wise—historians have found the //Collected Writings and Letters//
|
|
to be an invaluable historical resource, as Clivowycz's rambling banality belies numerous
|
|
pearls of insight into the political events in which he was involved. Most notable among
|
|
these are his description of his founding of the
|
|
[[Circle of Fifths|The Disquietist "Circle of Fifths" Revisited]] and his eerily accurate
|
|
prediction, not only of the [[Genocide of the Second Quartile]], but of the specific
|
|
circumstances of his own death in the Genocide. Various commentators,
|
|
[[Petrov van der Deathface]] among them, have observed that if Clivowycz knew he was going
|
|
to die on his ill-fated trip to the Second Quartile, he could have chosen not go. Thus,
|
|
they concluded, Clivowycz's death was probably faked to add an air of mystery to the
|
|
//Collected Writings and Letters//.
