Ko nežinome apie Daukantą

LTDaroma išvada, kad Simonas Daukantas vis dėlto bandė kiek įmanoma vengti viešumo („savo darbus viešino, bet pats nuo jų slapstėsi po slapyvardžiais“). Kartu su jo laiškais išnyko daugelis jo gyvenimo faktų. Straipsnis baigiamas žodžiais: „su archyviniais dokumentais ne tik pradingo kai kurie Daukanto biografjos faktai – jis pats gyveno taip, tarsi jų nė neturėtų būti“.

ENWe do not know many things about historian Simonas Daukantas (1793–1864) not only because many letters he wrote or received disappeared. His life was spent in shadow. Living in relative obscurity he believed he could reach his goals more easily. He was neither conspirator not rebel. Yet he tried to avoid publicness as much as he could. He made his works public but tried to hide himself behind various pseudonyms each time creating a new avatar. Together with his letters many facts of his life vanished, He lived as if he had no facts of life.
