LETTERS Of JAN BAUDOUIN DE COURTENAY TO JAN KARŁOWICZ FROM 1895–1903

Summary/Abstract: The presented correspondence includes ten letters and twenty six postcards from 1895–1903, sent by Jan Baudouin de Courtenay to Jan Karłowicz. Among other things, it shows the scientific and extra-scientific relations in Cracow and Saint Petersburg in the last decade of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century – although, owing to the person of the addressee, it also refers to Warsaw. The main scientific topics are: 1) comments on the etymology of lexemes studied by J. Karłowicz for Dictionary of Foreign Words Which Were Used in Polish and Had a Less Clear Origin [Słownik wyrazów obcego a mniej jasnego pochodzenia używanych w języku polskim]; 2) matters related to changes in Polish orthography; and 3) comments on the edition of the so-called Warsaw dictionary [Słownik warszawski] and Lucjan Malinowski’s Old Polish Dictionary [Słownik staropolski].
