Chris, thank you very much for the information about Ryazanoff's edition. As to attribution to Marx and Engels, I did not immagine there were doubts on it. Both the Italian and the French edition do this attribution. Who knows who is right? Perhaps the MEGA3 edition clarifies the question. Does anybody know if this Introduction is included in it?
