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.

In her report Francesca Tripodi analyses the attitudes and behaviour of individuals spread around the United States and who consider themselves as Christians, conservatives and Republicans. The conservatism in the account is characterised by several observed principles: an emphasized connection between faith and patriotism through repeated rituals like Christian prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and reciting the Virginia Republican Creed; the problem of separation of church and state and a need to protect racial and religious identity with subsidized defence strategies. In this ethnographic work, the author presents how two Republican groups are searching for the truth in the contemporary media environment. The author conducted several individuals who describe themselves as Christians, conservatives and Republicans and she analysed how they conceptualize truth. The findings of the work provide a new foundation for understanding the relationship between so-called „fake news“ and contemporary conservative political thought.
