MOTIEJUS VALANÈIUS CORRECTIONS IN
SIMONAS DAUKANTAS MANUSCRIPT MALDOS KATALIKØ
Summary
This article is an attempt to date the corrections made by Motiejus Valanèius in Simonas
Daukantas manuscript Maldos katalikø written in 1842. Up to now it was thought that these
corrections were made by Valanèius in 1842. Judging by the specific regulations for
censorship of religious writings in 19th century Lithuania, and from the appearance of the
manuscript (identification of somebody elses insertions and corrections, their peculiarities
and chronology, peculiarities of pagination, character of the paper on which Valanèius text
was written, peculiarities of paste-ins and their link to the characteristics of religious and
secular censorship) I conclude that the corrections in Daukantas manuscript were made
by Valanèius probably in 1847 when the manuscript was submitted for censorship. The
corrections were made with the permission of religious censorship and had the character
of unofficial recommendations.
