Christoph Ernst Tiedtke's Appeal of December 12, 1747: New Facts about the Lithuanian Language Seminar at the University of Halle. (English)

The article analyses and publishes the archival document found at the Secret State Archives Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (German: Geheimes Staatsarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz) in Berlin, which reveals new facts about the Lithuanian Language Seminar established at the University of Halle in 1727. It is an appeal of Christoph Ernst Tiedtke (1722-after 1772), a graduate of the University's Faculty of Theology, stepson of Peter Gottlieb Mielcke (1695-1753) and half-brother of Christian Gottlieb Mielcke (1733-1807), which was written on December 12, 1747 and was addressed to the Privy Council (German: Geheimer Rat) in Berlin. This archival source is important for the history of the Lithuanian Language Seminar at the University of Halle, as it provides evidence about a nearly undocumented final period of existence of the seminar. Based on the information recorded in Tiedtke's appeal, the article reveals that efforts were actually made to continue the activities of the seminar after 1740, which is usually considered the year of closure of the Lithuanian Language Seminar at the University of Halle in historiography.

Straipsnyje analizuojamas ir publikuojamas Prūsijos kultūros paveldo Slaptajame valstybiniame archyve (vok. Geheimes Staatsarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz) Berlyne rastas dokumentas, atskleidžiantis naujų faktų apie 1727 m. Halės universitete įsteigtą Lietuvių kalbos seminarą. Tai šio universiteto Teologijos fakulteto absolvento ir Petro Gotlybo Milkaus (Peter Gottlieb Mielcke, 1695-1753) posūnio bei Kristijono Gotlybo Milkaus (Christian Gottlieb Mielcke, 1733-1807) suvestinio brolio Kristupo Ernsto Tydkės (Christoph Ernst Tiedtke, 1722-po 1772) prašymas, rašytas 1747 m. gruodžio 12 d. ir adresuotas Slaptajai tarybai (vok. Geheimer Rat) Berlyne. Halės universiteto Lietuvių kalbos seminaro istorijai šis archyvinis šaltinis reikšmingas tuo, kad teikia duomenų beveik nedokumentuotam baigiamajam šio seminaro veiklos laikotarpiui. Remiantis K. E. Tydkės prašyme užfiksuota informacija, straipsnyje atskleidžiama, kad po 1740 m., kurie istoriografijoje įprastai laikomi Halės universiteto Lietuvių kalbos seminaro uždarymo metais, vis dėlto būta pastangų toliau tęsti šio seminaro veiklą.
