Count Sámuel Teleki’s Unpublished Documents

Dissertation Excerpts

Summary/Abstract: Following his expedition in East-Africa, Count Sámuel Teleki became a representative of the pioneering era of the great geographic discoveries. This study publishes a large collection of documents from his campaign (1886-1888). Some of them were in danger of destruction at the end of the Second World War. The photographs of this expedition were “rediscovered” by Lajos Erdélyi, and a number of them was published in 1977. Following this research path, the author discovered in the Romanian State Archives a large number of unpublished photographs and documents. Another essential and less known source is the diary that Count Teleki himself scrupulously kept during his journey.
