Notes Giedrius SUBAČIUS Since the 19th century, there has been a tradition of considering Kajetonas Nezabitauskas as the author of the handwritten dictionary, which was burned in Warsaw during the Second World War, "Zodinikas // Letuwiszkaj—Zemajtiszkas //yr //Lenkiszkaj yszrožitas [...] tom I-szy // od Lit. A do I wlasznie —//przez //Kajetan Niezabitowskiego //Zmujdina” (title from Vincas Maciūnas, Mūsų senovė, 1940, vol. 3, No. 1(10), p. 142). 1963 and 1967.m. 6 and 10 published many letters of Ivan Loboika, the chancellor Count Nikolai Rumyantsev and Kiprion Nezabitauskas, from which it is clear that "the real author of Zodyn was Kiprion Nezabitauskis", the older brother of Kajeton*. However, even today it is often doubted whether this dictionary was not written by Kajetonas (cf. Zinkevičius Z. Lietuvių kalbos istorija. V., 1990. T. 4. P. 128; Žukas V. Nezabitauskis—Zabitis Kajetonas Rokas. —Tarybų Lietuvos enciklopedija V., 1987. T. 3. P. 212 and others). Without repeating A. Kaupuž’s obvious arguments about Kiprion’s authorship, we must weigh the arguments why Kajetonas remains the author. 3 1. In the second, the authorship of Kajetán is recorded. It must be said immediately that the title page must have been written much later than the text of the dictionary itself (the diphthongs aj, ej, uj are written with j in the heading, and so they were written more widely only in the 1830s, but in the text themselves they seem to be Zymeti with y —Atkabintyiey, as it could have been written in 1823). When the brother After Kyprianou emigrated to Paris after the 1831 uprising and was sentenced to death in his absence, Cajeton could now write his name without fear on the title page of his brother- 's dictionary. 2. Other 19th-century sources mention Kajetonas as the author of a dictionary of the Lithuanian language (Kurjer Polski, 1830, No. 64; Dykcyonarz Biograficzny powszechny, Warsaw, 1851). However, these publications probably got their information from Kajetán himself, who was then working in the Warsaw censorship committee. Also Kajetonas himself wrote a letter- “Zr: Kaupuz_ A. Some additional information about Lithuanian culture” actors of the 19th century. in the letters of Prof. I. N. Loboika of Vilnius University. — Literatura 6, 1963, p. 207—222; Kaupuza A. The cultural figures of Lieuva in the early 19th century according to correspondence of Prof. I. N. Loboika with N. P. Rumyantsev, the founder of the museum. —Literatūra 10, 1967, pp. 165–199. (red. p.) 212 he told Krakow professor Wiszniewski and Simonas Daukantas that he had written a dictionary of the Samogitian—Lithuanian language. But there is a lie in those letters. Kajeton boasts to Wiszniewski that he himself prepared a booklet about bees (1823), only in the name of brother Kiprion (although the analysis of the language confirms the authorship of Kiprion, not Kajeton), that the chancellor N. Rumiancev thanked him for the translation (in fact, he thanked Kiprion), that he printed the booklet Rozmyšlania wiešniaka rolnika (but kept silent about its author Dioniz Poška), that Dziennik Wileriski published a description of his trip to Žemaitija (although only Poška’s Baublys is described there), — the last two cases were already noted by V. Maciūnas. In his letter to S. Daukantas, Kajetonas did not mention either the translation of the booklet about bees or Rozmyšlania wiešniaka rolnika — he must have felt that Daukantas might have known the real authors of them. In both letters, Cajeton also says that he has finished his dictionary, although the burned manuscript was written only up to the beginning of the letter K (V. Maciūnas- ). And, as can be seen from the letters of I. Loboika, only up to the letter K the dictionary was written by Kyprion. So it’s hard to deny Kajetona’s ability to boast of other people’s work. He was also a close friend of D. Poška and a rival of D. Kiprionis. Poška wrote: "I have not seen better orthography than [...] in Kajeton Nezabitauskas' Elementary". On the other hand, while Kiprionas was still working on his dictionary (March 1825), Poška also began writing a competitive dictionary, i.e. competing with Kiprionas for the creation and introduction of the written Žemaičių lietuvių language. If the author had been Kajeton, it is unlikely that his friend Poška would not have approved of his work and would have decided to compete with him rather than help him. Therefore, even if the manuscript did not survive, many arguments indicate that Kajetonas, who loved to boast and praise himself, also wanted to appropriate the unfinished Lithuanian dictionary written by brother Kiprionas. Thus, as A. Kaupuž has already pointed out, Kiprijonas Nezabitauskas should be considered the author of this dictionary. In Germany, which has a long tradition of studying Baltic languages, new works of significance for Baltic studies have appeared in recent years. One of them is the book "Baltic languages" written in German by three linguists and published in 1994. Ivadas".! The beautifully printed 416-page book consists of four main chapters. The author of a fairly extensive introductory chapter (pp. 15—70) is Raineris Eckertas, a linguist who has made a great contribution to the study and popularization of Baltic languages. It presents in a very concise, one could say encyclopedic, manner the most important knowledge about all Baltic languages and peoples, their names, history, and discusses the extinct, by other peoples assimilated Prussians, Suduves, Jotvinges, Curonians, Zemgalians, and Seles. Of course, most of the space here is devoted to the history of the two living Baltic nations — Lithuanians and Latvians —: the most fatal events that accompanied these nations from the beginning of the 19th century are mentioned. ine Einführung.
