Abstract

The article discusses the fragments of Basel manuscript of Thomas Platter the Younger’s diary from his journey through France, in which Daniel Naborowski is mentioned. The document sheds new light on the life of the Polish poet. As it turns out, in early 1596, between Orleans and Geneva, Naborowski first visited Montpellier, Nîmes, and Avignon. The document is the more important that Platter offers a detailed insight into the early period of the poet’s student life, even before he entered the service of the Radziwiłłs. Platter provides direct quotes from Naborowski, who served as an interpreter of young travellers during their (sometimes contentious) contacts with foreign nations.
