Cultural and academic relations of Lithuania with Switzerland from the sixteenth to twentieth century

Summary/Abstract: This article is composed of two parts and describes cultural and academic relations of Lithuania with Switzerland from the sixteenth to twentieth century. The first part deals with the Lithuanians at the universities of Zurich and Basel, the second-with the Lithuanians at the University of Fribourg. The first part begins with a description of the publications of a printing house in Basel: incunabula (there are 64 publications from Basel and one publication from Geneva in the libraries of Lithuania); books of the first half of the sixteenth century (Vilnius University Library possesses 233 from Basel, 11 from Zurich, and three from Bern); and with the editors-printers. The author of this article draws attention to the first research of Lithuanian historians relative to the Lithuanian students at foreign universities (Adolfas Ðapoka, Vaclovas Biržiška, and Mykolas Biržiška). She bases herself on the matriculation documents collected and published by the famous Swiss historian Hans Georg Wackernagel. Three volumes of the matriculation documents of the University of Basel include student lists from different countries from 1532 to 1726. Teachers (praeceptores), educators (morum ipsorum moderatores), servants (famuli) of the Lithuanian students in Basel were not omitted and were also entered in the matriculation documents.
