Zainteresowania szlachty czasów saskich w świetle gazet rękopiśmiennych redagowanych dla Elżbiety Sieniawskiej

Abstract

The aim of the article is to introduce the role of manuscript newspapers in the population research in early Saxon period, when they constituted one of the main sources of information. Diversity of themes analyzed in newspapers, highlighting some of the events, allows for the study of relationships and social behavior, and attempts to construct the contemporary reception of these events and messages, the manner of their creation and communication. An important role in this process played the editors of newspapers being at the same time their distributors, so in my analysis I also highlighted the role of this professional group in the dissemination of the press and their cooperation with the environment of nobles.
