Description: "This book presents the first critical edition and translation of the travel diary of an Italian journey of 1777 written in Latin by Fr. Ignatius Swieteczky O.P. The journey passed through the present Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, Italy, and Germany. Generous space has been devoted to historical, social and cultural background in an effort to place Swieteczky's thought in its proper context. Hopefully, all readers interested in history may find some related information not yet published."--
