Cross-border transfer of ideas and information: The Thornische Nachrichten von gelehrten Sachen (1762-1766) and the Polish Enlightenment. (English)

The Thornische Nachrichten von gelehrten Sachen, published in Toruń in 1762-1766, was a learned review journal, the first periodical of this kind in Poland. As one of its editors' priorities was to keep track of current Polish writing, the magazine regularly published reviews of the most notable books of Polish Enlightenment (among its reviewers were Stanisław Konarski, Wacław Rzewuski, Franciszek Bohomolec, Józef Minasowicz).

„Thornische Nachrichten von gelehrten Sachen" wydawane w Toruniu w latach 1762-1766 stanowią pierwsze na terenie Rzeczypospolitej czasopismo stricte 'recenzyjne'. Jednym z głównych postulatów programowych pisma był przekaz aktualnych informacji o piśmiennictwie polskim. Realizując ten postulat redakcja zrecenzowała szereg kluczowych wydawnictw polskiego oświecenia (m.in. teksty autorstwa S. Konarskiego, W. Rzewuskiego, F. Bohomolca, J.E. Minasowicza).
