Summary/Abstract: The article treats of the previously unknown correspondence of the writer, stored in the Library in Kórnik, Ossolineum or in the private collections. Letters are addressed to his wife, the clergy, the blind children from Laski, to writers from the country and abroad and they provide interesting pieces of information concerning life and work of the writer. Materials sent from Jerusalem at the request of the author of the article are a valuable complement to the whole. The texts confirm the great writer's fascination with religious themes, especially his love for the Bible, which is the „book of life”.
