The article analyses Epistolae Generalium ad Nostros, Jesuit correspondence within the Order extant in the Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu representing a general’s letters to superiors of individual provinces and the common members of the Society. On an example of a Jesuit historian Maximilianus Wietrowsky, it shows what bio-bibliographic information can be obtained for compiling a biography of a particular Jesuit.

The paper examines the historiographic production of Maximilian Wietrowsky SJ (1660–1737), especially the method of his work with sources. Although the author admits his nonauthenticity, referring to his sources in numerous marginals, he fails to mention his main source – the French historian Louis Maimbourg (1610–1686). This was perhaps caused by Maimbourg’s conflict with Rome, his expulsion from the Jesuit order and putting some of his works on a list of banned books. The paper compares Wietrowsky’s Latin translations with the French originals and shows to what extent it is a literal translation or a revision, which more or less draws from the original source. The essay concentrates in detail on Historia S. Joannis Nepomuceni, the process of its emergence, the compilation of several sources and the further textual tradition in the form of translations into vernacular languages.
