Summary/Abstract: In the paper, the unpublished memoirs of Kazimierz Burzyński, aide-de-camp of the Polish political agent, writer and general Michał Czajkowski – Mehmet Sadyk Pasha, are presented for the first time. Kazimierz Burzyński was serving as aide-de-camp of Sadyk Pasha during 1866–1868. Burzyński’s memoirs shed light on some intriguing and not so well known political realities and movements at that time in the Ottoman Empire and Europe, which on the other hand are linked to the political and military activities of Michał Czajkowski himself. In addition to that, the article examines also the history of the memoirs’ manuscript held in the Jagiellonian University Library archive, as well as some biographical notions of the author Kazimierz Burzyński.
