Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the last phase of József Pákei’s peregrination carried out between 1781 and 1785, when he concluded his studies in Vienna with a trip around Germany. Th e investigation relies on a previously unexplored source, which is by its very nature the best possible document for reconstructing the network of contacts he developed. Th is is Pákei’s album amicorum, which contains the fi rst entries from Prague, dated March 1784, and which was later used by its owner primarily during the time of his peregrination. Th is paper makes an attempt at comparing the entries with the peregrination letters already reviewed by Kelemen Gál, particularly in relation to the contacts made by Pákei in Göttingen, and the encounter between him and Johann Bernhard Basedow, as well as Johann Nepomuk Bartholotti.
