Abstract
In this paper I have analysed the itinerary of Sámuel Cseh-Szombathy, a former student
of the Reformed College of Debrecen. After having finished his studies in Göttingen and
Vienna, he started with a journey in 1790 through Southern German cities, the Dutch
Republic, England and finally France. During his journey he wrote an itinerary where he
made a record of his costs and what he as a medical doctor found interesting: hospitals,
madhouses, natural history collections and of course the most important medical
personalities of his time. My main questions are: How unique is this itinerary and how
well does it fit in the Hungarian tradition of itineraries of the Early Modern Time?
