    • Translated by Diana Burgin and Katherine Tiernan O'Connor. A brief translators' note precedes the text.
    • The text is followed (on pp. 337-372) by a note on the text, commentary, and an afterword, all by Ellendea Proffer; and a biographical note, uncredited.
    • Proffer's note states that she prepared the Russian text which the translators worked from, mainly relying on Bulgakov's last revisions to his manuscripts but occasionally returning to his earlier drafts to clarify a passage or re-insert a deleted passage that she thought would help the reader's understanding (in which case she indicated as much in a note).
    • First printing.
