The aim of the article is to present journalist genre called the feuilleton, developing since the Enlightenment period, as a precious source of knowledge which is useful in historical research and in cultural tourism for both cultural tourism organizers and tourists themselves. The subject was described with the use of excellent 19th century series of feuilletons by Marceli Motty called the “Letters of Wojtuś from Zawady”, which are a treasury of information about Poznań and its inhabitants in the 19th century. Marceli Motty draws the picture of the Greater Poland’s capital in the 1860s. Rich language and unusual timeliness of the feuilleton makes them an interesting completion of the guiding commentary meant for inquisitive cultural tourists who are not satisfied only with general or guiding publications. The “Letters of Wojtuś from Zawady”, as well as feuilletons of other authors from that period, can enrich Poznań’s biographical, literary, museum, urban, educational offer, as they constitute an excellent material for designing new tourist-cultural routes around the city of Poznań. The routes can consider a widely-understood cultural theme (visual arts, literature, theater, music), biographical-literary (outstanding citizens of Greater Poland as well as famous culture creators), socio-traditional (everyday lives of the city inhabitants in the period of annexation, fashion, bon ton, language uniqueness, the activity of societies and organizations, education), etc.

This article presents hitherto unpublished letters from the Slovak composer and pedagogue Ján Levoslav Bella to the music critic, editor, organiser, pianist, conductor, and composer Jan Ludevít Procházka. Two letters and one commemorative inscription of Bella augment the correspondence between the two men published in 1924 by Dobroslav Orel, which is more or less one-directional from Procházka to Bella. These new sources are preserved in the Procházka album deposited in the Czech Museum of Music (part of the National Museum) in Prague. The letters attest to Procházka’s importance for Bella’s development as a composer during the time when he wrote his symphonic poem Osud a ideál (Destiny and Ideal).

Isabella d’Este (May 17, 1474 in Ferrara, Italy – February 13, 1539 in Mantua, Italy) was an important female protagonist of the Italian Renaissance, often referred as the “Lady of the Renaissance”, “Daughter of Humanism”, “the First World Lady”. This study aims to bring closer the ruler who influenced (especially Italian) history in diplomacy and politics, but was also a major figure in the collection of art and patronage of authors such as Titian, Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello Sanzio and others. The study reflects the period context and at the same time looks at the importance of the Renaissance female intellectual through the prism of her personal and public correspondence available in the Italian state archives (Mantova, Ferrara, etc.), pointing to the growing importance and interest in digitized authentic materials.

This paper focuses on a specific kind of medieval written source - the letters of private people. In particular, the author focuses on a group of private letters written by Hungarian noble women. It explores the possibilities of using these letters for historical and genealogical research while also looking at themes such as the history of education and schooling, as well as the everyday lives of the medieval nobility. The author analysed ten letters and managed to identify a number of people in the process, who were previously unknown in the genealogy of specific noble families. Different connections and relationships were identified that had previously been unknown in Slovak and Hungarian historiography. By looking at the development of education and the knowledge of writing in the Hungarian Empire, the author sheds light on when and why the writing of private letters became part of everyday life for female Hungarian nobles and not just their male counterparts. The paper provides a unique view into the lives of medieval Hungarian noble women, through the study of their own words, letters and personal writings.

This research article will examine merchant families and their businesses involving shipments between England and the Netherlands during the late seventeenth century. Despite the fact that historians have paid sufficient attention to merchant families during the pre-industrial period, these studies are still very important. This paper raises, illustrates and discusses the following questions: What role did merchant families play in early modern merchant settlements in England and the Netherlands in this period? Which goods were exchanged through export/import? The questions and answers in the paper are built on a detailed analysis of published primary sources: a select set of 74 personal business letters sent to the Marescoe-David Company of London (an inter-related London-based merchants family) from prominent Dutch merchants between 1668 and 1680.

Michal Jan Borch (full name Michal Jan Alois Anton Borch, 1753-1810), christened in Varaklani on 1 July 1753, was a natural scientist and writer whose name is recognized in Europe and inscribed in the history of science. To understand Borch’s personality, it is important to consider his wide scope of interests and education-based competence. He was well versed in classical literature, poetry and history, had studied the basics of botany, physics, mathematics, architecture and land surveying as well as drawing, music and several languages. Borch wrote his works in French in which he was fluent and even Voltaire is said to have praised the young Borch’s mastery of French. His correspondence is also mainly in French, including letters to his father and mother. On an everyday level, the Count communicated and wrote in Polish and German; he also learned English and Italian, and wrote verse in French, Italian and Latvian. Borch had a scholarly interest in natural resources and the population of other countries, very typical of Enlightenment-era nobility and intellectuals. This enthusiasm was fully developed during his research travels. In his early twenties, he toured Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy from 1774 to 1778, and then set out for Holland and England in 1790. He was captivated most by two Mediterranean islands Sicily and Malta, describing them with much fervour. Months spent in Sicily (23 September 1776 - 25 April 1777) provided diverse research material for seven books printed in Italy, which describe the nature of Sicily, Malta and Italy - stones, ancient monuments and people combined with historical, natural and anthropological aspects.
