Description

• Title:
  Ancient and Modern Sources in the Diary of Mikołaj Krzysztof ‘the Orphan’ Radziwiłł on the Example of the Description of a Chameleon
• Creator:
  Wiater, Mateusz
• Description:
  The article examines how Mikołaj Krzysztof ‘the Orphan’ Radziwiłł incorporates works by both ancient and contemporary authors in his diary. A notable example is Radziwiłł’s description of a chameleon, which, while based on his personal observations, also reflects his reading of Pliny the Elder’s Natural History. It also includes early modern views on the chameleon, many of which were derived from ancient authors and repeatedly mediated through later sources.
