Nabokovians,

I recently found these annotations online, and they've opened up _Ada, or
Ardor_ in so many ways I could not have predicted. I adore _Ada_, and look
forward to reading future additions to the online site as they become
available.

The recent inclusion of images is a nice touch; while perusing the first
chapter, I found an image of that "Stabian flower-girl" (8.31) that could,
conceivably, be used if necessary permissions are garnered, here:

As for the correction: in chapter one of part one, "or in the garden of the
sanatorium neat: it" should read, rather (and according to Vintage's 1990
edition), "or in the garden of the sanatorium near it" (7.15)
