December 1933

Drogobych. Bruno Schulz gives Józefina Szelińska a copy of The Cinnamon Shops, in which he writes a dedication to her.

Szelińska* receives one of the fifteen author copies of The Cinnamon Shops*1  with the following note:  “To Juna Sz., a great human being, a close companion encountered on the paths of life with a request to remember me”2. 

Thanks to the dedication we learn that already at that time Schulz called Szelińska  “Juna”, thus referring to a Roman goddess of fertility and motherhood. (rb) (transl. ms)
