Podrożnicy Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego w XVIII w.
Travellers from The Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 18th century.

Summary/Abstract: During the XVIII century many foreign travels were undertaken from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and there are over a dozen preserved diaries describing them. Some of these journeys led to Western Europe (for example those described by Krzysztod Zawisza and Tadeusz Bukaty) or to St. Petersburg, which was a popular destination among White Ruthenian nobles by the end of XVIII century. Other, like the one written by Ludwik Sienicki, are a testimony of a Siberian exile. Among the preserved relations are also three large diaries written by travelling clergyman (Juwenalis Charkiewicz and Ksawery Bohusz wandering throughout Europe and Antonii Burnicki to the Holy Land) as well as two descriptions made by women (Teofi la z Radziwiłłow Morawska and Salomea z Rusickich Pilsztynowa).
