O potrzebie badań interdyscyplinarnych na przykładzie projektu Egodokumenty członków rodziny wojewody pomorskiego Piotra Jana (1685–1736) – opracowanie filologiczno-historyczne i edycja

The article is primarily aimed at presenting the tasks to be completed under the project The Sources for the History of the Czapskis in the 18th Century. Egodocuments by Family Members of the Pomeranian Voivode Piotr Jan (1685–1736) – a Textual and Historical Analysis and Editing financed by the National Programme for the Development of Humanities. The said project will culminate in three editions – of the diary of the travels of the Starost of Knyszyn Tomasz Czapski and of the letters of the Pomeranian Voivode’s wife Konstancja Czapska and her children – her sons: Tomasz, Paweł Tadeusz and her daughter Rozalia. The work will be conducted simultaneously by literary scholars, historians, linguists and an art historian, hence the sources prepared to appear in print will have been thoroughly analysed, characterised and published with due diligence. In the author’s opinion, implementation of such interdisciplinary scholarly enterprises is particularly important in the field of the humanities, as it breaks the hermetic seal of the conducted research, hence enabling an in-depth and multidimensional interpretation of old egodocuments.
