This article is devoted to one of the monuments of the Polish nobility’s manuscript culture – the so-called silva rerum, which comes from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. It is the 18th century silva of Michał Adam Ślizień (1691–1790), Kreva starost and Lithuanian sub-equerry (podkoniuszy), found in the collection of manuscripts of the National Library in Minsk (Belarus). It includes various materials coming from different sources such as poetry, epitaphs, copies of letters, speeches of the King, senators, envoys and wedding and funeral speeches. An unknown register of marshals of the Lithuanian Tribunal of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the years 1698–1758 attracts particular attention. Part of the material comes from the silva of Piotr Franciszek Łoski, the Warsaw podkomorzy (the head of the Polish nobility’s court). The owner of the book appears at its end as the author of the diary, where he gives a short but exact history of his life against a background of the political life in Poland, in which he took an active part, being an MP from the Słonim county and other counties in almost all gatherings of the Seym, being a deputy of the Tribunal and holding a function of an envoy from the Lithuanian army. The silva, the list of contents of which was enclosed to the article, and the diary constitute a valuable material for research on the history of the 18th century and for genealogical research. The silva and the diary characterize the intellectual horizon of the middle nobility in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the discussed period.

The article analyses the archives of a medium-affluent Samogitian noble family. It comprises files concerning minor nobility. This group is usually the least represented in written documents. The author tries to answer a number of questions about the usefulness of the family archive for researching Samogitian poor nobility: how numerous they were, whether they were of local origin, or (and to what extent) incomers, what language they used on a daily basis, what was their material and cultural status (including the level of literacy), whether there were features that distinguished them from the rest of the Lithuanian nobility, and whether there were any changes within the Samogitian nobility in the modern period (and what)?

W artykule poddano analizie archiwum średniozamożnej żmudzkiej rodziny szlacheckiej. W jego skład wchodzą przede wszystkim akta dotyczące drobnej, miejscowej szlachty. Środowisko to jest zazwyczaj najsłabiej reprezentowane w dokumentach pisanych. Autor próbuje odpowiedzieć na pytanie czy archiwum rodzinne jako całość może odpowiedzieć na podstawowe pytania dotyczących niezamożnej szlachty żmudzkiej. Jak była liczna, czy była pochodzenia miejscowego, czy może raczej (i w jakim stopniu) napływowego, jakim językiem posługiwała się na co dzień, jaki był jej status materialny, kulturalny, w tym poziom alfabetyzacji, czy istniały cechy wyróżniające ją spośród rzeszy szlachty litewskiej, czy w okresie nowożytnym następowały w jej obrębie zmiany (i jakie)?
