The article 'The origin and the beginning of the Neo-Gothic writing on the territory of German speaking Europe' makes an attempt to trace the origin of the Neo-Gothic writing. Therefore, documents from Bozen - a place regarded as the birthplace of Neo-Gothic (paleographic repertory in the Faculty of History in the University of Warsaw's- A copy book of the Bozen City Council as of 1520) have been compared with the sources from a collection of documents concerning Żagań's duchy in rhe years 1472-1549 found in Dresden's archives.Insightful analysis of the Saxon typeface shows indirect tendencies between the Gothic and the Neo-Gothic writing. Some letters signs in the Żagań's document as of 1474 present Neo-Gothic forms which means that the new writing trend might have originated in totally different region of Germany than Bozen and its surroundings, as L. Santifaller tried to prove.The fact that Żagań's document had been created half a century before those that Sanrifaller team examined provides additional afterthoughts. The comparative analysis of the typefaces described in the article defines to what degree the new writing tendency- the Neo-Gothic is present in Żagań's sources
