Summary/Abstract: Until recently, little has been known about the cooperation of baron Gustaw Manteuffel (1832–1916), an outstanding chronicler of Polish Livonia, with the Kwartalnik Historyczny, published in Lwów (L’viv, Lemberg). Manteuffel’s letters to Aleksander Semkowicz have recently been found in the collection of the Library of the University of L’viv. These are especially valuable as they will fill the gaps in the biography of the Polish-Livonian baron. One such gap is his cooperation with the editorial staff of the Kwartalnik Historyczny and Polish historians from Galicia. The correspondence sheds light on such matters as the way in which the periodical was smuggled into the country, where it was forbidden, and Manteuffel’s relations with Russian censorship. There is a brief mention of Manteuffel’s student years at Tartu.
