Summary/Abstract: Juliusz Słowacki can be called a poet of memory, especially the memory of himself. He wants to talk about himself, about the subjective and objective reality in which he participates. To a large extent, the poet does this to save himself from oblivion. The article deals with the epistemic memorial of brother Juliusz, which takes on a new meaning due to its relationship with metempsychosis concepts present among the Tovians. It will be individual but also social memory, focusing on the experience of the generation of the oldest ghosts, among which Słowacki included himself. The article reflects on the cognitive memory of the mystical poet in the context of personal relationships, which this memory helps the poet to interpret. The textual source of considerations here are the poet’s letters to Joanna Bobrowa.
