| Description | In this presentation, some of the features of Kristijonas Donelaitis' self-reflection were presented, as evidenced by his (auto)comments preserved in his official writings. In 2023, a copy of the baptismal register of Tolminkiemis for the years 1725-1754 was found. This source has considerably expanded the archive of Kristijonas Donelaitis' writings. Donelaitis wrote many comments about himself and the people around him in the margins of this book: together with similar entries in his other texts, e.g. the acts of the land-separation case or the so-called "Messages to my heir", these comments allow us to formulate a number of intriguing insights into the personality of Kristijonas Donelaitis. |
