On the Correspondence between Jurgis Ambroziejus Pabrėža’s Manuscript Iźęgis Geograpyje and Walenty Szacfajer’s Geografiia krótko zebrana

Abstract

The article discusses the textual relationship between a 166-page manuscript, referred to as a geography textbook by Jurgis Ambroziejus Pabrėža, lacking a title page and beginning with the words Iźęgis Geograpyje, and a textbook by Walenty Szacfajer, which was especially popular in Lithuania in the first half of the 19^th century. The article reveals the general correspondence between the Samogitian manuscript and the Polish original, both in content and structure, and shows the modifications and additions found in Pabrėža’s translation.
