AB The study identifies footnotes included in the agricultural calendar published by the Moravian-Silesian Society for Advancement of Agriculture in Brno. On the basis of many features, it has been found out that the owner of the calendar and the author of notes was Johann Nepomuk Spatzier, who practiced in Krnov, a natural scientist and historian from the 1830s to the 1880s, one of the founders of local history in Bohemian Silesia. Notes are transcribed and followed by a comment which reveals author's interests (professional interests, contacts with friends and acquaintances in Krnov and its surroundings). They enable his identification with a romantically oriented natural science represented by German and Austrian authorities which are mentioned in the text, then observing natural phenomena themselves, and also with elites arousing from the civic society in Bohemian Silesia.
