Summary/Abstract: Gustaw Manteuffel (1832–1916) was Polish-Livonian historiographer whose writing activity focused on the idea of reconstructing the forgotten land called Polish Livonia. In his many texts elaborating almost exclusively on Livonian issues, one can find as well many borderland categories. Livonia he lived in and wrote about was a highly diversified land, both ethnically, linguistically, and religiously. This article, dealing with borderland issues considered in Gustaw Manteuffel’s works, represents the new subdiscipline of contemporary academic studies on the heritage of the Polish-Lithuanian state called Livonian studies.
