Abstract
This contribution focuses on Ladislav Velen of Žerotín, member of an important Moravian family, and his stay in Basel between April 1592 and December 1593. His experiences from that time are described in Žerotín’s Itinerarium, which he wrote in 1589‒1594. After presenting some introductory information about this literary source and its writer, the author investigates contacts which Žerotín established during his studies in Basel, events he describes in the Itinerarium, and trips from Basel, which belong to the most detailed records in this diary. They depict his impression of the places he visited ‒ be it military facilities, ecclesiastic buildings, workshops, or other objects – but also the surrounding landscape and unforeseen events Žerotín encountered during his travels.
