Excerpt from the Translator's Note: This volume is a collection of the letters exchanged between Rizal and Blumentritt in English translation with the letters. The original letters and their Spanish translation were published by the Philippine National Library from 1930 to 1938 in a series of volumes with the title Epistolario Rizalino. The letters of Blumentritt are found scattered in several volumes of the series, while those of Rizal are in Volume V together with their facsimiles, covering the period from 1886 to the eve of his execution on 29 December 1896. Not all of Blumentritt's letters have been discovered. The original letters in the possession of the National Library at Manila disappeared during the Japanese Occupation (1942-1945). The correspondence between Rizal and Ferdinad Blumentritt began when Rizal, hearing that Blumentritt was studying Hernandez Aritmetica in Tagalog and Spanish, with a letter written in German. Stimulated by their common intellectual interests, this correspondence lasted until Rizal's death. As Blumentritt came to know Rizal, he developed an admiration for his transcendent genius, and an abiding friendship grew between them. Through him Rizal was introduced to other notable European scholars and leading orientalists...Inspired by their scholarly productions and manifest interest in the Philippine Archipelago, Rizal organized an international congress which would bring to the attention of Europe the Philippine question. This volume includes the constitution and list of officers of the international association prepared by Rizal. Blumentritt was a professor of geography at the Municipal Atheneum of Leitmeritz, Bohemia, than a part of Austria. He was a member of learned societies in Germany, France. --Abebooks.com
