		Jan Mayen Island, a part of the Kingdom of Norway, is a 373 km² arctic volcanic island partly covered by glaciers and divided into two parts by a narrow isthmus.
		Jan Mayen is an integrated geographical body of Norway.
		The present name of the island is derived from this, the claim of its 1611 discovery by a Dutch navigator, Jan Mayen, being unsupportable.

	FT 140 - The Mystical Count Potocki
		Polish aristocrat turned Oriental wanderer, Count Jan Potocki was a child of the Enlightenment drawn to the mysticism of the Illuminati and Rosicrucians.
		Potocki’s decision to set his bizarre novel against the wild beauty of the Spanish Sierra Morena may have been influenced by more than the fact that he passed through the area on his way back from Morocco.
		Potocki is said to have taken the silver knob of a sugar bowl, formed in the shape of a strawberry, and filed this into a bullet, which he had blessed by the castle chaplain.

	Jan Potocki (1761 - 1815) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		The early 19th century novel "Manuscrit trouvé à Saragosse" by Count Jan Potocki, which survived in its Polish translation after the loss of the original in French, became a world classic.
		The Manuscript Found in Saragossa (original French title Manuscrit trouvé à Saragosse, also known in English as Saragossa Manuscript), by the Polish author Jan Potocki (1761-1815), is a frame tale novel from the period of the Napoleonic Wars.
		The stories cover a wide range of genres and subjects, including the gothic, the picaresque, the erotic, the historical, the moral, and the philosophic; and as a whole the novel reflects Potocki's far-reaching interests, but especially his deep fascination with secret societies, the supernatural, and so-called Oriental cultures.

		Even one of the characters in the story, a mathematician, repeatedly states that he has to use mathematical notation to keep all the different storylines straight.
		I personally believe that the author, Jan Potocki, used this book as a framework to tell the tales that he heard during a lifetime as an adventurer.
		Potocki here seems to use this book to as a place to hang every remarkable tale that he has ever heard in a remarkable life.

	The Novel
		This mind-boggling series would have certainly pleased the man responsible for its existence, Jan Potocki (1761-1815), patriot and renegade, freemason and scion of Poland's top aristocracy, traveler and recluse, scientist and occultist.
		His life was as flamboyant as his death: he committed suicide at the age of 54, blowing his brains out with a silver bullet, melted from a part of his favorite sugar-box and blessed for the purpose by that strange man's chaplain.
		It is a always a risky venture to decipher a sweeping and/or uniform message from a work such as Potocki's, written so obviously for the main purpose of its author's pleasure.

	the constant reader recommends
		Two hundred years before Umberto Eco there was Jan Potocki, a Polish adventurer, politician, and author.
		Jan Potocki tells stories within stories; he tells stories about stories; his characters analyze the stories from within and from without.
		Potocki set the book primarily in Spain and Italy, and wrote it in French and Polish, so the cultural and translation notes were very helpful.

	Eye Weekly - The never-ending story - 12.02.99
		Born in 1761, Potocki was a Polish aristocrat, adventurer, activist and publisher who, in December of 1815 (according to one story), fashioned a silver bullet from the knob of his teapot, had it blessed by a chaplain and then shot himself in the head.
		Indeed, Potocki's complete text was lost, so a version was cobbled together from different translations in the mid-19th century and continues to be the subject of academic controversy.
		What the film presents is a unique scenario in which every character believes he or she is the star of the show -- Potocki and Has suggest that all of us, even servants or scoundrels, deserve to be at centrestage.

	The Saragossa Manuscript (DVD) \| The A.V. Club (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Jan Potocki's 1813 novel The Manuscript At Saragossa should have been impossible for Polish filmmaker Wojciech Has to adapt.
		An Arabian Nights riff replete with harems, duelists, folkloric beasties, and a story-within-a-story-within-a-story structure, Potocki's text is at once irresistibly cinematic and too complex to be converted into visuals.
		Has' understanding of the wit in Potocki's book (coupled with Mieczyslaw Jahoda's sumptuous fl-and-white cinematography) keeps Manuscript entertaining even when one story begins to collapse into another; the Byzantine plot can be taxing, but it's never boring.

		Some of these, such as the legend of the lamia, date from antiquity, but others seem to have been invented by Potocki, and one was later used without acknowledgement by Washington Irving.

		Adapted and directed by Lookingglass Ensemble member Christine Mary Dunford, based on Ian MacLean's translation of the novel by Potocki, Manuscript Found in Saragossa is a wildly comic, incredibly moving new play, full of danger, ripe with sensuality, and rife with questions about the duality of man.

		Later I got a degree in cultural anthropology and became interested in Potocki as an early ethnographer.

		The surrealist horror, like that from Jan Potocki’s novels and Wojciech J.

		On the other hand, a visionary character of The Manuscript was brought up by Jan Słodowski in a chapter with a telling title of Oniryzm i fantastyka, czyli ktoś w świecie nadrealnym (Onirism and fantasy, which is somebody in the surreal) (19).
		This character’s blindness is justified by the film’s contents (resulting from an adaptation of Jan Potocki’s book), however, it may carry yet another meaning.
