Krakowskie listy Jana Baudouina de Courtenay do Jana Karłowicza z 1894 r.
Cracow Letters of Jan Baudouin de Courtenay to Jan Karłowicz from 1894

Summary/Abstract: The presented correspondence includes nine letters and nine postcards from 1894, sent by Jan Baudouin de Courtenay to Jan Karłowicz. Among other things, it shows the scientific and extra-scientific relations in Cracow in the last decade of the 19th century – although, owing to the person of the addressee, it also refers to Warsaw. The main scientific topics are 1) comments on the etymology of lexemes studied by J. Karłowicz for a dictionary of foreign words which were used in Polish and had a less clear origin; 2) matters related to changes in Polish orthography; and 3) comments on the edition of the so-called Warsaw dictionary.
