What Hides between the Letters? An analysis of Adam Mickiewicz’s Writing

The article presents some issues related to the study of Adam Mickiewicz’s manuscripts using graphological scribal tools. The main subject of analysis was made the archives, which are stored in the Library of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. What is important, they are an integral part of the legendary Philomath Archive, which has been dispersed over the years. The conducted analyses, which are only a contribution, but may indicate future directions of researchers’ interests, allow us to get an idea of the basic features of Mickiewicz’s handwriting. In addition, the analyses undertaken have made it possible to isolate and describe the characteristic features of the poet’s manuscripts.
