Benedykt Jankowski’s Polesian Sonnets. - Appendix: On the Publication of Benedykt Jankowski’s Sonnets

Summary/Abstract: The article contains 7 sonnets by Benedykt Jankowski. The sonnets, previously unknown, come from a manuscript treasured in the Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences. A mark on the manuscript informs that is was rejected by censorship authorities in 1857. All the information we have about the author comes from the manuscript itself and from two letters to the publisher, written in 1850s and preserved currently in the same library. The sonnets have no common title. The title of the present publication refers to Polesia, a historical region mentioned in one of the sonnets and in a larger dramatic work in the same manuscript, and to which the place from where one of the letters was addressed belongs.
