Abstract

Based on a passage from Manuscript No. 9350 of the Austrian National Library, which, to the author's knowledge, has not yet attracted scholarly attention, the paper deals with an interesting description of Upper Lusatia, which probably originated in the second half of the 17th century and offers some remarkable insights into the religious and cultural situation in this region.
