Simonas Daukantas's Rīga Orthography Summary Giedrius Subačius Simonas Daukantas’s Summary Rīga Orthography (1827–1834) Simonas Daukantas (1793–1864) was one of the most prominent activists of the Lithuanian national revival in the 19th century. He chose to write and publish his texts in Lithuanian, although at that time the dominant language of culture in Lithuania was Polish. Daukantas was the first historian ever to compose a history of Lithuania in Lithuanian. In addition to his volumes on Lithuanian history, Daukantas prepared several translations of histo- ries of antiquity, dictionaries, popular pamphlets on husbandry, a primer, a grammar book, a prayer book, and an adventure book for children. In the first half of the 19th century Lithuanian orthography was not yet standardized. It was quite open to innovations and new ideas. Daukantas was an enthusiastic innovator of spelling, and he never really stopped inno- vating. His orthographic variations were probably greater than those of any other author who ever wrote inDaukantas’s Lithuanian. intellectual activity may be di 1. RĪGA PERIOD MANUSCRIPTS. - vided into four major periods according to the places where he resided: Vilnius (1814–1822), Rīga (~1823–1834), St. Petersburg (1834–1850), and the Lithuanian Lowlands (Western Lithuania; 1850–1864). This book covers the first period, the Vilnius period, only to a limited extent (there are no authentic texts of Daukantas from that time). It concentrates conside- rably, however, on the second period, the Rīga period. Ten manuscript texts of varying scope were identified as produced then; eight of them were writ- ten by Daukantas, and two were copies written by someone who has not been identified. Based on analysis of paper (watermarks), of orthography and of other extra-linguistic factors, the chronology of Daukantas’s Rīga manuscripts was reconstructed as follows: 453 Vilnius Rīga (1) about 1827—Excerpts from Books (Išrašai iš knygų IK Graphic repre- 1827– 1828 ~ 1834 1827 1831–1833 1833–1834 (2) about 1827–1828—Little Lithuanian Songs (Canticula Lithuanica sentation ~1822 1828 or later RPG, GDKr ; ; 4 pp.); IK CL CL IKEI IƵ 1 ss IƵ 2 ss IƵ 3 ss IƵ 4 ss IƵ 5 ss IƵ 6 ss ; (3) Excerpts from Books on Ethnog‑ <y> K + + + + (+) + + + ; 20 pp.); raphy and History (Išrašai iš knygų apie etnografiją ir istoriją IKEI G + + + (+) end (+) about 1828 or somewhat later— [ẹ] (4) + + + Copy of the Grammar by Daniel (+) beginn. ; ; 12 pp.); <ę> K (+) Klein (DaKlG <-ty> inf. about 1828 or somewhat later—a G (+) + + + + + + + + (5) [ẹ] ; 77 pp.); <e> K (+) (+) (+) DicM about 1831—“The Dictionary of Milke” (“Dikcionar.

  • Cultural Innovations of the Epoch of Kristijonas Donelaitis – Introduction
    INTRODUCTION German poet and translator Hermann Buddensieg1 called the epoch of Kristijonas Donelai- tis (1714-1780) “a very busy time of change”, when “profound changes were taking place in all fields of life” and which was an “especially fruitful global moment depending on the activity of a surprising amount of very gifted and impressive personalities”2. The impetus was provided by the 18th c. European Enlightenment whose visual vision was most illustratively rendered by the 18th c. German artist Daniel Chodowiecki in a copper engraving Education: “the morning sun rising from behind a distant mountain range”, with the concept of light in that century “acquiring a new and important meaning [...], and the light being mentioned every time when reason or freedom were discussed [...]”3. The Age of Enlightenment placed emphasis on man’s versatile education and his natural rights, social changes in different fields, religious tolerance, and critical and free speech. The prospering and the dissemination of those ideas made a great impact on the transformation of self-awareness of the population of Prussian (Minor) Lithuania, East Prussia, and the whole Kingdom of Prussia, the chan- ges in its mentality, and the development of the relationships between the people and the government and the people and the Church, and formed the expression of ideas of thinkers and creators. Whenever we talk about the historical context of Prussian Lithuania in the 18th c., we traditio- nally call that period the epoch of Donelaitis. To quote literary scholar Leonas Gineitis, in the ana- lysis of the literary work of Donelaitis and his historical-cultural environment, every factual detail is significant which “unexpectedly illuminates and shows different than the expected traits of the analyzed object, [and] the details [...] pulsate with life – the spirit of time”4.

  • THE PAST and PRESENT of the SAMOGITIAN LANGUAGE 1. Historical Overview an Essential Question Has Been Repeatedly Raised Since Ol
    The Past and Present of the Samogitian Language JUOZAS PABRĖŽA https://doi.org/10.22364/bf.28.1.05 Baltu filoloģija XXVIII (1) 2019 THE PAST AND PRESENT OF THE SAMOGITIAN LANGUAGE Juozas PABRĖŽA Šiauliai University 1. Historical overview An essential question has been repeatedly raised since olden times: is Samogitian a language or a dialect? Before the appearance of standard Lithu- anian, the concept of the Samogitian language prevailed. Quite a few Samogi- tians wrote their works in Samogitian. The 19th c. boasts a particularly large number of such works. In that period the concern and efforts to create standard Lithuanian on the basis of the Samogitian dialect were particularly obvious. The language and the spelling of Dionizas Poška, Silvestras Valiūnas and Simonas Stanevičaus, all of them originally being South Samogitians, were oriented towards their native Dūnininkai dialect. Three of the most prominent Samogitians of the 19th c. — Jurgis Ambraziejus Pabrėža, Simonas Daukantas and Motiejus Valančius — employed the North Samogitian Dounininkai dialect in their writings. The creator of the standard Samogitian language J. A. Pabrėža wrote: “A Samogitian will never agree about the language either with a Lithuanian, a Prussian or a Latvian.” (Subačius 1996: 54) Juozas Čiulda, the author of the most solid grammar of the Samogitian language of the time, written in Polish in 1854 (Trumpi samprotavimai apie žemaičių kalbos gramatikos taisykles — “Brief Reasoning about the Rules of the Samogitian Language”) consistently used the concept of the Samogitian language, and at the end of his book affirms this by stating the following: “These are my speculations about the Samogitian language.

WHAT IS THE UNIVERSITY OF VILNIUS? It is a paradoxically simple question. Though it will not seem so simple if we ask another question — what is Vilnius? Today it is the capital of the Republic of Lithuania, a member state of the European Union. However, at the beginning of the 19th century, the epoch of great importance to us, it was turned into a provincial town of the Russian Empire. Prior to that, for a long time, it was the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which existed in the 13th–18th century. In the 20th century, after the reestablishment of the Polish and Lithuanian states, it did not become the capital of Lithuania (the city of Kaunas became its provisional capital); Vilnius was incorporated into Poland and became a city of the Polish province. In 1939, on Stalin’s initiative, it was taken away from Poland and returned to Lithuania, at the same time annexing Lithuania to the Soviet Empire. All this has to be kept in mind if we want to understand the question what the University of Vilnius is. And what was it during the period between 1803 and 1832? 79 At first glance the answer seems simple — this is an institution founded by the Jesuits and Stephen Bathory in 1579.

  • Censorship in Lithuania: a Tool of Russian Policy; 1831–1865
    LITHUANIAN HISTORICAL STUDIES 7 2002 ISSN 1392-2343 pp. 43–66 CENSORSHIP IN LITHUANIA: A TOOL OF RUSSIAN POLICY; 1831–1865 ZITA MEDIŠAUSKIENĖ ABSTRACT This paper deals with the specificities of Russia’s policy of censorship conducted in the Northwest Province by the Vilnius Censor- ship Committee between 1831 and 1865. In the general context of the Province an attempt is made to give answers to the questions: (1) by whom and in what way the attitudes of the censors of Vilnius were regu- lated with respect to the Lithuanian and Polish press ‘under local condi- tions’ and (2) what requirements of the Censorship Committee were caused ‘by local conditions ’ and by the implementation of Russia’s policy in the Northwest Province. The study is based on official documents, censorial lawsuits, and the censored manuscripts. It is maintained that the opinion and initiative of the governor general of Vilnius were crucial in formulat- ing the ‘local’ policy of censoring. The principal aim of the censorial activity was to ensure the integrity of the Russian Empire by preventing the spread of disintegrational anti-Russian ideas and those of propagat- ing the independence of Poland and ‘Polish patriotism’. Attempts were also made to weaken the influence of the Catholic Church, in particular among the peasantry and to create conditions favouring both religious tolerance and the dissemination of Orthodoxy. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries Russian nationality policy as well as the ‘Polish Question’ or Russia’s policy in the Polish Kingdom and in the Northwest Province have been subjected to increasing historical scrutiny.

    with the mysticism of the Eurasian 'collectivist' spirit" (p. 54). Considering transcul- ture's desire to transcend politics, and also Epstein's argument for "utopianism after utopia" and "non-totalitarian totality," this particular historical (and ideological) con- text really needs to be addressed. Eliot Borenstein New York University Virgil Krapauskas, Nationalism and Historiography: The Case of Nineteenth Century Lithuanian Historicism. Boulder, CO: East European Monographs, 2000. viii, 234 pp. Distributed by Columbia University Press, New York. Krapauskas' book-length historiographical essay*fills an essential spot in the cor- pus of Lithuanian historical writing. The appearance of ethnic nationalism in East Central Europe in the nineteenth century would change the politieal landscape in the twentieth. Krapauskas traces the appearance of this brand of identity formation in the historical works - professional, joumälistic and dilettante - in Lithuania during the century leading to independence in 1918. Krapauskas' monograph is solid despite persistent problems with intent and the- ory. Thus, he writes, "Historicism mediated between the prejudices of nationalism and the dispassion of historical research," using Maurice Mandelbaum's definition of his- toricism that an event could only be understood "in terms of the place it occupied and the role it played within a process of development." Presumably, Krapauskas' mono- graph should then trace this approach to history in nineteenth century Lithuania. It does not do so, except tangentially. Nationalism and Historiography is about the de- velopment of Lithuanian historical writing as part of the Lithuanian national awaken- ing. Krapauskas' approach, not his subject matter, may be historicist. Nationalism and Historiography is also conceptually tentative.

A man identifies himself, according to the national ideal, through his relationship to his ancestors and forebears, and to the events that shaped their character (Smith, 1979, p.

  • Baltvokiečių Švietėjų Poveikis Lietuvių Žadintojui Simonui Daukantui
    SENOJI LIETUVOS LITERATŪRA, 48 KNYGA, 2019 ISSN 1822-3656 SAULIUS PIVORAS Baltvokiečių švietėjų poveikis lietuvių žadintojui Simonui Daukantui ANOTACIJA. Simono Daukanto asmeninėje bibliotekoje buvusios knygos liudija, kad Daukantas gerai žinojo bent jau keturių Apšvietos laikotarpio baltvokiečių istorikų ir publicistų veikalus. Žinomiausias baltvokiečių publicistas, kurio darbais Daukantas rė- mėsi tiesiogiai – Garlybas Merkelis. Merkelio argumentai apie baudžiavos panaikinimo būtinybę įtvirtino panašią Daukanto poziciją. Remiantis Daukanto ir Merkelio tekstų turinio lyginamąja analize galima kelti hipotezę, kad Merkelio teiginiai apie latvių tautą ir etnografinė-antropologinė šios tautos charakteristika skatino Daukantą panašiai aprašyti lietuvių tautą. Merkelis Daukantą turėjo įkvėpti ir „tautos būdo“ sąvokos kaip tautos es- mės apibūdinimo sistemingam vartojimui, kuris būdingas 1845 m. išleistame Daukanto veikale Būdas senovės lietuvių, kalnėnų ir žemaičių. Yra duomenų, rodančių, kad egzistavo bent jau netiesioginiai Daukanto kontaktai su pirmojo latvių laikraščio Rygoje leidėju ir latvių liaudies švietėju Johannesu Hermannu Trey’umi. Latvių liaudies švietimas, dis- kusijos apie jį baltvokiečių pastorių ir mokytojų aplinkoje bei pradėtoje leisti latviškoje spaudoje turėjo stiprinti Daukanto orientaciją į liaudies (tautos) švietimo veiklą. REIKŠMINIAI ŽODŽIAI: baltvokiečiai; Apšvieta; švietėjai; baudžiavos kritika; liau- dies švietimas; tautos būdas. ĮVADAS Simono Daukanto vaidmuo kaip iškilaus lietuvių tautinio judėjimo atstovo ir
