Languages of publication
Abstracts
The edition includes a significant „discovery” of four unknown letters written by Aleksander Linowski to Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski found amidst the correspondence of Ludwik Kropiński to Adam Jerzy Czartoryski in the Princes Czartoryski Library in Cracow. The edition contains a short preface. Born in 1759 in Cracow, Aleksander Linowski was an important and a wellknown figure of public life especially at the time of the Great Sejm, and later during the Duchy of Warsaw and Congress Poland. He was interested in law, politics, and especially literature. He published several occasional works and a couple of his works were published posthumously in the press. He was elected a deputy to the Grodno Sejm of 1784 from the Cracow’s district where he was a landowner, and later, as a king’s chamberlain, to the Four-Year Sejm. During the proceeding of the latter his function was to be a king’s “transmission” to the patriots. It was him who read out an act of insurrection on the Cracow market square on 24th of March in 1794. He socialized with Czartoryski family and he was a frequent guest in Sieniawa, where prince Adam Kazimierz spend some of his time and later decided to settle there. These close relations are documented in four newly found letters sent from Cracow to Sieniawa: three of them by the end of 1803, and the fourth one at the beginning of 1804.
