Autographs of Magdalena Dobromila Rettig from the Regional Museum in Litomyšl
The Regional Museum in Litomyšl has made two autographs of Magdalena Dobromila Rettig available online from its collections. The more extensive one (R-207) contains parts of the text Mladá hospodyňka v domácnosti jak sobě počínati má, aby své i manželovy spokojenosti došla, published in Prague in 1840, and documents the author's creative writing style, including corrections and additions to the text (the autograph dates from 1833). The shorter text (R-206) is a German-language autobiography. The manuscript is incomplete or incompletely preserved, yet these notes are the most comprehensive biography of Magdalena Dobromila Rettig.
