Artykuł prezentuje źródłoznawczą analizę trzech książek adresowych obejmujących Gdańsk. Zostały one wydane w latach 1817 (AdreßBuch für das Königliche Danziger Regierungs-Departement mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Stadt Danzig und ihres Polizei-Bezirks), 1830 (Adreßbuch der Königlich Westpreussischen See- und Handlungsstadt Danzig und deren combinirte Vorstädte) i 1831 (Danziger Stadt- und Adreß-Almanach für das Jahr 1831). W tym okresie tego typu wydawnictwa ukazywały się incydentalnie w Gdańsku. Jak wykazano, trzy różne osoby przygotowujące omówione publikacje miały odmienne zapatrywania na to, co powinno się w nich znaleźć, stąd też dosyć spora ich różnorodność, zarówno edycyjna, jak i tematyczna.
This paper presents information on printed lists of Gdansk officials, which were published in 1741–1810 under the title Das itzt-lebende Dantzig… and Das jetzt-lebende Dantzig… (as of 1764). The author’s findings indicate that they were not published in 1742, 1745, 1747, 1749–1751, 1753 and 1793–1808. Detailed studies also allowed to determine the price at which these materials were sold, although the number of copies published still remains unknown. The author briefly discusses the contents of Das itzt-lebende Dantzig…, which was each time presented on about 100 pages. Inside, the readers could find the full names of Gdansk mayors, councillors, judges, representatives of the Third Order as well as the city military, religious, and school authorities. The source in question is one of the most important publications allowing supplementation of biographical data of Gdansk citizens living in the 18th century and at the beginning of the 19th century.
This paper discusses the first Gdańsk address books published by Ferdinand Troschel in the period between the Second Partition of Poland and the establishment of the Napoleonic Free City of Gdańsk. During this period, the books were issued in 1796, 1797, and 1800. Their publication was based on the privilege the Prussian King Frederick William II issued on 16 May 1795. The address books covered the area of the city of Gdańsk, the United City of Chełm and their nearest environs. Not only information from address books, but also notifications of their sale and press advertisements concerning their publisher were used in this article. Apart from typical personal and topographic information, the address books provide a lot of interesting details on the public life of the time and the functioning of offices, which have not survived in any other sources available today.
This article presents Gdansk calendars by the mathematician Johann Gottlieb Bartoldi (1736–1788), which were published from 1776 until 1789. The almanacs were entitled: “Neuer und Alter Kunst- und Tugend-Calender”, “Neuer und Alter Haus- und Geschichts-Calender” and “Allgemeiner Landwirtschafts-Calender”. This text highlights those aspects which depict the traditionalism and conservatism of the calendars, originating from the beginning of the eighteenth century.
