Handwritten note by the prominent chemist Leopold Ružička, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1939), in which he briefly describes the history of his name and the origins of his family. The text states that his great-grandfather moved from Moravia to Croatia in 1810 and further outlines the evolution of his surname from its original form 'Růžička' to 'Ružička' and finally to 'Ruzicka.' A unique document reflecting the personal history of a scientist who made significant contributions to the development of organic chemistry, particularly in the field of terpenes and polycyclic compounds.
