Archivum Lithuanicum 7

Summary/Abstract: This year the seventh volume of Archivum Lithuanicum is not appearing just by itself - it is being accompanied by an irregular Indices volume in which we have given a list of abbreviations and advice for authors. Aurelija TAMOÐIÛNAITË has prepared indexes of persons and places occurring in previous volumes. In the seventh volume of Archivum Lithuanicum an analysis of the nineteenth century writings of Lithuania Major predominates. A series of five articles is devoted to this topic. In two of these articles Lowland Lithuanian texts are analyzed. Aleksas GIRDENIS, having compared in depth the Purpura manuscript with the Þyvatas book printed in the middle of the eighteenth century (1759), has established that the Purpura manuscript was not written in 1707, as the inscription on the title page shows, but considerably later, after the middle of the nineteenth century. He also demonstrates that the linguistic basis of the manuscript is the dialect of the Kretinga parish.
