Zatorski Aleksander Paweł (Zathorski, religious name: Marian), Piarist, secr. of Stanisław Lubomirski (1722-1752).
"Notes ... Aleksander Pawel Zatorski are a special text, because they grow out of conversations, held at magnate's courts and nobleman's manors, about the cares and joys of everyday life, happiness, love, friendship and the marital state. Thus, they are a picture of the mentality and customs of Saxon times, and show the transformation of a former monk who, already as a secular literary man, advises the youth of thenobility on how to achieve happiness in their professional and personal lives. [...]. Notes ... confirm the introduction of French customs in Saxon times, albeit in a sensible and balanced way, and are an excellent complement to Jędrzej Kitowicz's Description of Polish customs during the reign of August III. they bring closer the love culture of the time and are a very interesting manual of noble savoir-vivre, combining Old Polish customs with French sophisticated politeness, especially towards women. [...]. It was printed several times in the 18th century, which attests to its popularity, as does the fact that many of its entries on physiognomy can be found in later 19th-century handbooks."[source: https://rcin.org.pl].
"The publication consists of two parts. The first contains general advice on life and proper behavior for a young man, not very original by the way. More interesting is the second part, the instructions on how to win the hand of a maiden, very practical and innovative, without unnecessary moralizing and sanctimoniousness." source:[https://www.historiaposzukaj.pl]
