Full textAbstract:
After the defeat of September 1939, a large number of Polish historians found themselves, together with the army, scattered abroad. They lost their previous academic research base, aids and equipment, book collections, notes, etc. As early as the autumn of 1939, the first attempts to organise representatives of this group were made in allied France. The fall of France and the necessity to evacuate to Great Britain meant that a new stage of wartime activity began here for the Polish civilian and military leadership, the organisation of the army and the organisation of the community of Polish historians. The first institutions were established soon after arrival in the United Kingdom. After the end of the war, a number of Polish historians decided to remain abroad and the process of establishing academic institutions began, giving rise to Polish historical science in the UK. The General Sikorski Historical Institute was the first institution to be established, and other institutions soon followed, including the Piłsudski Institute in London, the Polish Underground Movement Study Trust, the Polish Historical Society in Great Britain, the Polish University Abroad, and the Polish Library.

The most famous Vilnius book-shop of the beginning of the 20th century was established on the 18th of January 1906. The official owner of the book-shop was M. Šlapelienė. She worked without break during all the time of the book-shop’s existing. The real manager was J. Šlapelis, who managed the commerce of the book-shop. The third owner E. Brazaitytė worked in the book-shop till 1907. The book-shop of M. Šlapelienė was acting without break during 39 years. It was rare case in history of lithuanian book-shops. Wars, national oppression realized by occupation power made the work of the book-shop very difficult. The most harmful were searches that were done by polish occupation power.The book-shop of M. Šlapelienė was of great cultural importance. During the war (1914) it provided with books and manuals new-established Lithuanian schools. Lithuanian libraries, acting in Lithuania and abroad, received books from this book-shop. The book-shop also had commercial lent library. The work of the book-shop was stopped in 1944, when Soviet government prohibited to hold private commercial institutions.

Full textAbstract:
The History of Stupidity in Poland. The historiographic pamphlets [Dzieje głupoty w Polsce. Pamflety dziejopisarskie] was the most important publication by Aleksander Bocheński. The book was also one of the most representative reflections on the post-war trend of political realism in Poland. The journalistic reaction to the first edition of the book in the forties of the 20th century proved that the theses included in it were highly unpopular. The author’s criticism of insurrection trends in Polish politics met with opposition from Marxists as well as non-party intellectuals, both at home and abroad. Although motives of Bocheński’s concepts were usually understood, they were rejected as they served communists, were contrary to Marxist doctrine or had no moral foundations. Those opinions constitute an important contribution to the views of Polish intelligentsia on political realism at the beginnings of the Polish People’s Republic.

POLISH POST-WAR RESEARCH INTO THE HISTORY OF PUBLISHING IN POLAND: ACHIEVEMENTS AND RESEARCH PROPOSALSThe history of publishing in Poland encompasses many issues associated with the emergence and dissemination of printed books. Of fundamental significance to the study of these issues are the records of the publishing output: while we have nearly complete — though requiring further exploration — records of this output for 15th–18th centuries, documented in bibliographies and catalogues, the situation is worse when it comes to the 19th and 20th centuries, until the outbreak of the Second World War. In this respect what we need is not only a continuation, but a radical intensification of bibliographic work. This concerns works published in the Latin, Cyrillic, Hebrew and Greek scripts as well as musical notation. Polish book scholars devoted a lot of attention to the beginnings of printing in Poland; the historiography concerning various typographic workshops located in the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is rich, though it still requires further extensive studies. The scholars were also interested in phenomena influencing the content structure of printed publications, like publishing privileges in the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, censorship as well as restrictions imposed by the partitioning powers and later by Poland’s communist authorities, as a result of which Polish publications had to be printed abroad and an independent publishing movement emerged. The scholars’ research interests also focused on books as products of the work of printers and publishers, on the publication of written works. They focused both on the various components of the book title page, printer’s signet, stemmata etc. and on its editorial composition as a whole.The scholars’ undoubted achievements in their studies of the history of publishing in Poland are significant, yet in many areas they need to be continued and expanded an important task is an edition of sources for the study of the history of Polish publishing, and concentrated on the phenomena that stem from developmental tendencies in modern book studies.

Full textAbstract:
Mieczysław Treter is by no means an ordinary individual: an art historian, aesthetician, museum practitioner and theoretician-museologist, an individual of many professions, lecturer, journal editor, member of numerous organizations, propagator of Polish art abroad, manager, exhibition organizer. In the interwar period one of the most influential critics and art theoreticians, among the museum circles he was mainly known as the author of the recently reissued 1917 publication called Contemporary Museums. Museological Study. Beginnings, Types, Essence, and Organization of Museums. Public Museum Collections in Poland and Their Future Development. Born on 2 August 1883 in Lvov, in 1904 Mieczysław Henryk Treter started working with the Prince Lubomirski Museum as the scholarship holder of the Lvov Ossolineum. In 1910, he became Curator at the Museum, performing this function until the outbreak of WW I. He participated in the First Congress of Polish Museologists, held in Cracow on 4 and 5 April 1914. During WW I, he was in Kharkov and Crimea, and it was there that he wrote his most important study Contemporary Museums. In 1917, having moved to Kiev he became involved in the activity of the social movement for the care of Polish monuments throughout the former Russian Empire. In 1918, he returned to Lvov, became member of the national Eastern Galicia Conservation Circle, and retook the position of the Curator at the Prince Lubomirski Museum, to finally become its Director. On 4 February 1922, Mieczysław Treter was appointed Director of the State Art Collections, the position he retained until 1924. In 1926, he became Director of the Society for the Promotion of Polish Art Abroad, whose main task was to promote works of Polish artists in Poland and abroad. He passed away in Warsaw on 25 October 1943. Systematizing the theoretical knowledge and the report on the existing museums in the country deprived of its statehood in the book Contemporary Museums created a departure point for its Author, who following Poland’s regaining independence worked out the organization of state collections. Treter’s proposals were to regulate the position of Polish museum institutions complicated due to the partition period, for them, while rivaling foreign museums, to become elements boosting the young state’s prestige.

Full textAbstract:
The authors present the characteristics of Jesuit libraries in the Kingdom of Hungary in terms of their content, with special focus on works by the most influential Jesuit authors, which were among the most numerous ones in Hungarian Jesuit libraries. The authors also draw attention to the most popular titles published by the Hungarian Jesuits in the 17th century, which can be considered bestsellers of Baroque Catholic literature not only in the Kingdom of Hungary, but also abroad. Many of them also found their readers in Poland and were translated into Polish. Furthermore, the authors point to the interconnection between Hungarian and Polish Jesuit book culture and the Jesuit Polonica in Hungarian Jesuit libraries and typographies of the 17th-18th century. The Hungarian book culture does not mean the book culture of contemporary Hungary, but of Kingdom of Hungary. This paper focus on the Jesuits from the Slovak territory, which was a part of Kingdom of Hungary for 800 years (from 11th century to 1918). The essential research sources are the international educational program Ratio Atque Institutio Studiorum Societatis Jesu and catalogues of Hungarian Jesuit libraries, located in Slovakia, from the years 1632–1782.

The fourth article in a series of publications devoted to the current state of affairs and prospects for the development of book history sources, used in educational programs in Russian and foreign universities, substantiates the need to analyze monographic publications. The works prepared in the framework of the American-Canadian, Polish, and French bibliological schools in the second half of the XX - early XXI centuries and translated into Russian are explored in detail. Despite the inconsistency of some publications, it is concluded that multiple research approaches (functional, systematic, semiotic, medialogical) coexist productively, allowing to unfold the heuristic potential of the discipline from different perspectives. It is a continuation of the article «Publications on book science and history of the book, used in the educational process abroad. Part 1. Study materials»

Full textAbstract:
Teresa Żarnower (1897, Warsaw, Poland–1949, New York, United States), a Polish Constructivist artist of Jewish descent who was forced to emigrate abroad during World War II, became a dominant figure working for the Polish government in exile. She produced a series of photomontages for a book titled The Defense of Warsaw, which was published in 1942 by a “Polish Labor Group” in New York. Żarnower used her technical expertise in photomontage to create new configurations of war photographs documenting Nazi Germany’s attack on Poland in 1939. She chose this shocking and politically loaded content to gain credibility and global attention for her work. Drawing on Benjamin Buchloh’s essay From Faktura to Factography, the aim of this study is to analyze the factographic paradigm in the usage of war photography and in the context of the esthetics of constructivist photomontage. The focus will lie on its mnemonic and archival functions, further highlighting the montage’s function as a key form of social memory model.

The paper reviews the recent book edited by Dorota Probucka, entitled The Ethical Condemnation of Hunting (in Polish: Etyczne potępienie myślistwa), Universitas Press, Kraków 2020, pp. 426. Probucka is one of the most prominent Polish experts in animal studies, especially in applied ethics and the field of animal rights (e.g., Probucka 2018a, 2018b, 2017). The discussed monograph encompasses the contributions of 19 authors representing 9 universities from Poland and abroad. Their core issue of consideration was the topical problem of hunting, examined from various perspectives: ethical and legal, psychological, social and cultural, both on the theoretical level and in relation to the practice of hunting. This review focuses on the core arguments against hunting and discusses them in detail.The Ethics in Progress journal had the honour of contributing to the media patronage of Dorota Probucka’s et al. edition.

AN OVERVIEW OF RESEARCH INTO THE HISTORY OF LIBRARIES AND LIBRARIANSHIP IN POLAND IN 1945–2015The author of the article discusses selected academic and popular publications concerning the history of libraries and librarianship in Poland which appeared in 1945–2015. In that period information about the most important historical resources of various Polish libraries and early book collections was made available; in addition, the period was marked by progress in the study of materials originating before the end of the 18th century. Scholars published a range of methodological studies as well as studies dealing with sources, contributing to the development of scholarship. On the other hand, there were too few editions of source materials.After 1989 scholars intensified their efforts to find sources in foreign collections, especially in Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and Germany. Polish collections kept abroad are yet to be fully researched and have their inventories and catalogues published.The vast body of literature is uneven when it comes to its focus on the various historical periods, regions, subregions and local centres. It comprises publications dealing with the history of libraries, their function and role in culture with regard to the history of the book, and publications focused on the types of libraries or individual libraries — of different traditions, sizes and stature. Scholars also explored the history of home book collections, reading rooms and libraries as well as biographies of librarians and collectors. The quality of the publications varies. There are gaps in, for example, the history of libraries in the former Polish Eastern Borderlands as well as “blank pages” in the historiography of Polish librarianship after the Second World War. There is a visible shortage of quantification of phenomena from the past of libraries, despite the fact that there are some possibilities in this respect. What is also needed is development in comparative studies, also in an international perspective, although this would require Polish historians to become more interested than before in the history of librarianship in other countries.

Full textAbstract:
Jerzy Kawalerowicz told reporters that he made his 1982 film,Austeria(The inn) to commemorate the Polish-Jewish people and culture destroyed in the Holocaust. This non-Jewish Polish director, known best in the west for hisMother Joanna of the Angels(a depiction of death and possession at a medieval French convent), grew up among Jews in the eastern part of Poland. He had been struck by the Polish-Jewish author Julian Stryjkowski's 1966 novella,Austeria,a haunting depiction of Jewish life in Galicia at the beginning of the twentieth century. Kawalerowicz—with Stryjkowski—immediately decided to turn the book into a movie. After the Six-Day War in 1967 sparked an “anti-Zionist campaign” in Poland, however, the Polish government found the Jewish topic of their screenplay “politically unacceptable.” In 1981, the film was granted permission and funding. It was completed in 1982, following the crackdown on Solidarity and the imposition of martial law. The authorities allowed its distribution, having determined that it displayed “humanitarian values” and that it did not represent a political threat. In the capacity of a quasiofficial expression of Polish regret at the passing of the Jews, and perhaps as a demonstration of liberalism aimed at the western critics of the new regime,Austeriawas widely promoted and exported to film festivals abroad.

The article examines the activities of the Library of the National Academy of Sciences in Lviv, which ranked third among Lviv book collections and had the largest systematic collection of Ukrainian literature in the world. The library was founded by Oleksandr Konyskyi, and the librarians were O. Makovey, M. Voroniy, M. Hrushevskyi, K. Pankivskyi, M. Pavlyk, D. Korenets, I. Krevetskyi, and V. Doroshenko. Attention is focused on three sources of books coming to the library: gifts from famous figures, exchange with foreign scientific institutions, and purchases from bookstores and antique stores. The donations of V. Antonovych, O. Barvinskyi, O. Borodai, B. Zaklinskyi, I. Franko, Yu. Tselevich and others joined the gatherings of the NTSH. The exchange took place in doublets and editions of the National Academy of Sciences. The library received books in various languages from all over the world. The list of institutions with which the exchange took place is regularly submitted by “Chronicle of NTSH”.There was an active exchange with Slavic scientific academies (Serbian, Yugoslav, Bulgarian, Polish, Czech). Contacts were also established with second-hand and antique shops both in Ukraine and abroad. The maximum use of all possible sources of collection of the Library of the National Academy of Sciences made it possible to create a book collection of such a level that we can talk about its uniqueness in Eastern Europe

Full textAbstract:
In 2022, there was published an interesting book by Polish musicologist Danuta Gwizdalanka Mieczyslaw Weinberg: a Composer of Three Worlds in n a good translation into Russian by Alexey Davtyan. This is a joint project of the Musical Review newspaper and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute (within the framework of the cultural program “NIEPODLEGLA” coordinated by the Institute for 2017–2022), which cannot but be welcomed. The composer’s family attentively and gratefully studies all available publications devoted to the life and work of M. S. Weinberg. Especially when we stumble across books in which the authors seek to supply the composer's biography with newly discovered facts, testimonies, documents, along with serious art studies in scientific journals and monographs. Such reaction is by no means aimed at curbing the creative, research, critical initiative of biographers and analysts in our country and abroad. The composer’s heirs are grateful to the Musical Review and the St. Petersburg branch of the Composer Publishing House for organizing a high-quality Russian translation and publication of D. Gwizdalanka's book in Russia. This made it possible to study the new monograph in detail and note its indisputable advantages, as well as obvious drawbacks.

Full textAbstract:
The reviewed book is the eleventh in the series devoted to the “Culture of the First Polish Republic in dialogue with Europe. Hermeneutics of values”. This series is the aftermath of an interesting research project, whose aim is both to comprehensively present the cultural relations of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth with Europe, as well as to recognize the ways and forms of mutual communication of literary, aesthetic, political and religious values. In addition, it aims to present in a broad comparative context the structure of Early Modern culture of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Apart from the introduction, the book contains the dissertations of 11 authors originating from various scientific centers in Poland and abroad (Toruń, Białystok, Vilnius, Venice, Padua, Cracow, Poznań, Rzeszów) and representing different research specialties: philology, history, and history of art. The general and primary goal of the text it is to analyze various aspects of the Ruthenian culture of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, both in its dynamic connection with the Polish-Latin culture and the processes occurring in Eastern European Orthodoxy after the fall of the Byzantine Empire and in connection with the strengthening of the Moscow state. The key issues developed in the volume relate essentially to: values of the Ruthenian culture, some of which coincide or are identical to those recognized by Western-Polish citizens of the Commonwealth, while depend on the centuries old tradition of Eastern-Christian culture.The articles focuses on the values displayed in the Orthodox and Uniate spheres and around the polemics between them, punching with axiological arguments. The most frequently and basic problems that were raised are: determinants of identity, faith (religion), language (languages), social status, origin; the policy of rulers, the problem of ecclesiastical jurisdiction; tradition and change in culture – biblical studies, patristics, liturgy, theology; printing, translations, education; apologetics and polemics, preaching, iconography; a renewal program for the clergy that was to become the vanguard of the renewal of the entire Eastern Church; Bazylian Uniate ( Greek- Catholic) clergy: the idea of cultural integration, education, translation and publishing.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE POLISH PENAL CODE OF 1932 FOR THE CRIMINAL LAW AND ACADEMIC EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT IN POLAND IN THE 20TH CENTURYSummary Since the year of 1932 marking the publication date of The Polish Penal Code also known as “Makarewicz Code”, there were strong indications that it would have a profound impact on the advancement in the field of Polish penal law and the academic-scientific area. Drawing from the highest standards and greatest solutions in Europe (i.e. The Code of Switzerland), The Polish Penal Code immediately gained substantial recognition abroad. Following World War II, it became an integral part of the socialist penal law system governing Poland at that time in history. Despite the numerous attacks it was exposed to, The Code served as an academic tool for educating many generations of lawyers and until 1969 it remained a main source book for law studies lectures. Additionally, it was considered to be a synonym of well-founded and stable Polish law and was applied as a benchmark for codification works in Poland dating back to 1969 and 1997. Having regard to the declarations presented by classical and sociological school with its reference to the penal law education, The Penal Code of 1932 had a great influence on the evolution of Polish academic education and criminal law in Poland of 20th century. Today this statement is reinforced by the fact that its author – Juliusz Makarewicz is regarded as the most prominent penal law professor. The Makarewicz Code is not only recognized as an outstanding judiciary achievement but also as a valuable academic-scientific point of reference. It is a symbol of the finest traditions in Polish law associated with progress, innovation and the one that elaborates on institutions that secure and attest to obeying the penal law regardless of the political roles it may play.

Full textAbstract:
This article is focused on the so-called urban texts related to Poland with a special emphasis on the historical and geographical region of Galicia, which covers the territories of Red Ruthenia in Ukraine and Lesser Poland, and on their historical connotations as presented in Boris Khersonsky’s book of poetry Family archive (2006). Khersonsky is a Russian-speaking Ukrainian poet from Odesa, who has been awarded prestigious prizes for his literary work both in Ukraine and abroad. Family archive can be described as a sort of novel in verse about the tragic history of the 20th century told through the family history of the author himself. The main goal of this article is to analyze the specific spatial structure of the book in the context of geopoetics and places of memory with a special accent on Polish cities and towns. This territory is the quintessential locus of historical events connected to Eastern European Jewish heritage and the tragedy of the Holocaust. This paper seeks to reconstruct the image of Poland with all the connotations and cultural myths associated with its multicultural experience.

Full textAbstract:
This article treats the polemic between the conservative-liberal Boris Chicherin and Nikolai Rennnenkampf on the Polish and Jewish questions. Some portions of the exchange appeared in legal, and others in clandestine editions. The initial critical encounter between them in the early 1880s was an abstract debate about the metaphysical grounding of rights. But already at that time, the two opponents raised the fundamental question as to whether Russia’s political future would focus on individual liberty or on the will of state officials and that of the majority in society. The polemic continued in the mid-1890s with Chicherin’s publication of Kurs gosudarstvennoi nauki, in which the conservative-liberal criticized the Church and the national policy of the Empire. The more conservative Rennnenkampf answered with two open letters,in which he castigated Poles for threatening the social equilibrium in the Western provinces of the Empire. Rennenkampf also viewed the Jewish question as “incomparably more complex” than the Polish question. Chicherin responded to Rennenkampf in a short book published abroad. He did not agree with Rennenkampf ’s assertion that the Jewish problem was “more complex” than the Polish question; indeed, Chicherin thought it “much simpler”. By the 1890s, Chicherin had changed his ideas about the Polish question but also about Russia’s readiness for constitutional government. Indeed, he had reached the conclusion that Russia itself was ready for a representative assembly. He was troubled by the Petersburg government’s promotion of Orthodoxy and of Russian language on the Empire’s western periphery. For Chicherin, the encounter with Rennenkampf had the highest possible stakes — the choice between freedom and unfreedom inside Russia itself. Rennenkampf called for unrelenting pressure on Russia’s “enemies”.

Caring for the development of her native nation, Natalia Kobrynska (1856-1920), the Ukrainian writer and one of the outstanding Women’s Movement activists had direct contacts with Poland. She wrote in her “Autobiography” that in her early years she was reading originals of Polish fiction as well as socio-political pieces from her father’s private home library, including “Letters from Krakiv”, the threevolume book by J. Kremer, “Pan Tadeusz” and “Dziady” by Mickiewicz, literary works by Hofman-Tanska. She was fascinated by E. Ozheshko’s book «Kilka słów o kobietach» (“Some words about women”). Works by B. Limanovsky, the outstanding Polish activist, were of her special interest, since she knew him in person and often wrote about him to I. Franko and M. Pavlyk. Being in Switzerland, she felt appreciation on the part of the representatives of Polish diaspora and students. For quite a long time Kobrynska was linked by bonds of friendship with Vysloukh family – Boleslav and Maria – in the form of continual correspondence. She wrote a review for «Na przeboj» (“Into the Breach”), the literary work by M. Sheliha. Her story “Pani Shuminska” (“Mrs Shuminska” or “The Spirit of the Age”) was translated into Polish by Masliak and Orkan. Presented research exposes one of the aspects of Kobrynska’s activity, that is, socio-political and cultural, in the framework of the relations between Ukraine and Poland. The article is based exclusively on archive evidences which highly characterise long-term social and political activity of N. Kobrynska as well as her contribution to literature and cultural studies in terms of international ties of Ukraine and Galicia with the world-known foreign activists, particularly from Poland, in their homelands well as abroad (in Switzerland, for example). The study includes important information about Kobrynska’s epistolary legacy as a leader of Women’s Movement and initiator of ties with Slavs and other lands. Kobrynska personal writings enriches history and literature of Ukraine and Poland with indisputable facts important for literary, social and cultural criticism of both countries. The article enables us to broaden studies in terms of world contacts of Ukraine with the help of archival material.

Full textAbstract:
The book written by Bartosz Kaczorowski depicts Portuguese foreign policy in the period of World War II which is silhouetted against the international situation and the ideological rudiments of Estado Novo. The author presents the goals of Salazar’s policy and its methods in this period. This topic, as Kaczorowski shows, was almost unknown not only to Polish historiography, but also did not find an objective and holistic approach nor in Portuguese publications, nor in texts of other foreign scholars. Even though, some aspects of Portuguese foreign policy during World War II have their comprehensive studies (the question of the Azores, relations with the Jewish population). That is why the author was supposed to conduct the extensive query in libraries and archives primarily abroad (the archive of Portuguese Foreign Office, other archives in Portugal, USA, Spain, Great Britain, France, Italy and Ireland). Thanks to this query was completed significantly the source material known by historians and thorough and conscientious work of the author is definitely commendable. The big advantage of the book is also the presence of original quotes (mainly in English or Portuguese) in the notes, because they can help in better understanding of the test.

Full textAbstract:
Professor Zdzisław Żygulski Jr. (1921–2015) was one of the most prominent Polish art historians of the second half of the 20th century. He treated the history of art as a broadly understood science of mankind and his artistic achievements. His name was recognised in global research on antique weapons, and among experts on Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci. He studied museums and Oriental art. He wrote 35 books, about 200 articles, and numerous essays on art; he wrote for the daily press about his artistic journeys through Europe, Japan and the United States. He illustrated his publications with his own photographs, and had a large set of slides. Żygulski created many exhibitions both at home and abroad presenting Polish art in which armour and oriental elements played an important role. He spent his youth in Lvov, and was expatriated to Cracow in 1945 together with his wife, the pottery artist and painter Eva Voelpel. He studied English philology and history of art at the Jagiellonian University (UJ), and was a student under Adam Bochnak and Vojeslav Molè. He was linked to the Czartoryski Museum in Cracow for his whole life; he worked there from 1949 until 2010, for the great majority of time as curator of the Arms and Armour Section. He devoted his whole life to the world of this museum, and wrote about its history and collections. Together with Prof. Zbigniew Bocheński, he set up the Association of Lovers of Old Armour and Flags, over which he presided from 1972 to 1998. He set up the Polish school of the study of militaria. He was a renowned and charismatic member of the circle of international researchers and lovers of militaria. He wrote the key texts in this field: Broń w dawnej Polsce na tle uzbrojenia Europy i Bliskiego Wschodu [Weapons in old Poland compared to armaments in Europe and the Near East], Stara broń w polskich zbiorach [Old weapons in Polish armouries], Polski mundur wojskowy [Polish military uniforms] (together with H. Wielecki). He was an outstanding researcher on Oriental art to which he dedicated several books: Sztuka turecka [Turkish art], Sztuka perska [Persian art], Sztuka mauretańska i jej echa w Polsce [Moorish art and its echoes in Poland]. Prof. Zdzisław Żygulski Jr. was a prominent educator who enjoyed great respect. He taught costume design and the history of art and interiors at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, as well as Mediterranean culture at the Mediterranean Studies Department and at the Postgraduate Museum Studies at the UJ. His lectures attracted crowds of students, for whose needs he wrote a book Muzea na świecie. Wstęp do muzealnictwa [Museums in the world. Introduction to museum studies]. He also lectured at the Florence Academy of Art and at the New York University. He was active in numerous Polish scientific organisations such as PAU, PAN and SHS, and in international associations such as ICOMAM and ICOM. He represented Polish art history at general ICOM congresses many times. He was also active on diverse museum councils all over Poland.

Full textAbstract:
Рецензия призвана познакомить отечественного читателя с практически не развитой в России формой актуализации культурного потенциала исторических садов и парков, которая представляет собой их превращение в объекты самостоятельного музейного показа. Работа польского специалиста по музеефикации зеленых насаждений анализируется с точки зрения возможностей компаративного анализа состава, использования и сохранности садового культурного наследия как национального, так и регионального уровней; роли, доли и места памятников садово-паркового искусства и исторически ценных озелененных территорий в культурной политике государства и потребностей населения (туристических, оздоровительных, рекреационных, досуговых, образовательных и иных), перспектив исследования взаимоотношений между элитарной и массовой культурой садоводства и ландшафтного дизайна. The review presents the experience of musealisation of objects of landscape and park cultural heritage summarized in the books of Jacek Kuśmierski, who is a Polish specialist in the field of conservation and restoration of green spaces of historical value. The books were published in 2020 and 2021 by the Foundation for the Reconstruction of the “Dwór Sarny” Palace and Park Complex, located in the village of Ścinawka Górna in Lower Silesia (Republic of Poland). The time was chosen to coincide with the certification in 2020 by the Council of Europe of the European Route of Historical Gardens, in which Kuśmierski sees great international, tourist, nature conservationб and culture-preserving importance. Since specialized descriptions of historical gardens and parks as independent objects of musealisation, museum and tourist display are still rare not only in domestic but also in European literature, small works by Kuśmierski have indisputable novelty and practical value. Mapping of historical gardens of Europe and garden museums, classification of types of garden heritage and forms of their musealisation open up broad prospects for comparative research and understanding of the structure, levels, functions of “high” and “low” garden culture in Russia and abroad. The historiography of the scientific analysis of the problem of musealisation of green spaces and the periods of the formation of the institutional framework of this process in Europe that the author identified determine the theoretical significance of the work. The book is addressed to specialists in museum business. It can also be useful to persons who study the problems of forming a favorable urban environment, the potential of the socioeconomic development of territories, and determines the guidelines of urban development. The preservation of cultural heritage objects and the conditions that can ensure it are independent and extremely urgent problems for Russia. They indicate the value of familiarization with the European experience of protecting historically valuable green spaces for specialists in the field of jurisprudence, state and municipal management. Kuśmierski’s works suggest the need to revise the priorities of the state cultural policy in the field of cultural heritage protection. This policy should shift towards the “musealisation of the world”. Kuśmierski characterizes “musealisation of the world” as a pan-European sociocultural trend of increasing the value of historical memory, as efforts to ensure the preservation of not only an isolated artifact, but its entire unique ecosystem as a complex of elements of natural, tangible and intangible cultural heritage.

Full textAbstract:
The 2016 publication The city’s intangible heritage. Musealisation, protection, education sums up an interdisciplinary conference organised by the Historical Museum of the City of Cracow. The book is of particular interest in terms of acknowledging the role of Polish museology in implementing the provisions of the UNESCO 2003 Convention for the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage. Its novelty in terms of previous similar elaborations results from tackling the city’s aspect of this heritage. There still does not appear to be enough works on the diversity of the cultural areas mentioned in the Convention’s recommendations. It is imperative to expand research beyond the most frequently analysed culture of the countryside, as the city’s heritage is a valuable and diverse aspect of human activity. In recent years it has been particularly prone to fragmentation and degradation because of the dynamics of urban processes, social and economic changes and migrations of peoples. Both the authors of the publication, and the participants in the conference – museum professionals, museologists, heritage interpreters both from Poland and abroad – deal with questions concerning the aspects of identity and the city’s audiosphere, the safeguarding of its intangible heritage, musealisation and depositaries, as well as education.

Full textAbstract:
: The subject of Borderlands situated further away and close by is presented not by accident. In the Polish historical narrative, we usually remember only about the Eastern Borderlands. Created by Henryk Sienkiewicz’s “Trilog”, known from the pages of Polish history, being a place of birth to Polish poets, they are inevitably memorable and integral part of Poland’s national tradition. This notion is so strong that the word ‘Borderlands’ is associated only with the formed eastern territories of Poland. We do not use this terminology for other areas. We think only of the eastern borderlands which were gradually lost between the 17th and 20th century. This article also mentions this fact. Nevertheless, the article presents a slightly different perspective, i.e. it tries to present the Borderlands that were distant because they were unknown or known very little, the Borderlands which did not manage to enter the Polish narratives and Polish historical memory for good. They entered Poland for a very short time and disappeared for it very quickly. Nowadays they are abroad and they are practically unknown. The distant, unknown former Polish western Borderlands was Trans-Olza (Zaolzie). The Silesian residents living there in the 19th century shaped mostly Polish national identity, i.e. at the time when the then modern European nations were establishing. Undoubtedly, this was influenced by a strong economic development of the territory of Cieszyn Silesia. On the one hand, it was a blessing, but on the other hand, it turned out to be its curse, causing the rivalry over this land between the Poles and Czechs. The conflict over this territory, where the ethnic issues played no significant role for the powers considering this matter. Moreover, it inscribed into different types of territorial conflicts that Europe experienced after the First World War. For the borders established by the victorious allied forces as part of the Versailles treaty were not entirely fair in any place, which, in turn, is an obvious matter because it is never possible to set borders that would fully satisfy all the parties of the conflict. This was also the case of the Polish-Czech conflict over Cieszyn Silesia. The rivalry did not cease with the borders being established by the allied forces in July 1920, and both countries were still interested in the population living there. The population faced assimilative activities as the so-called ‘Polonized Moravians’ by the Czechoslovakian Republic. On the other hand, this population became a causation for Poland when reclaiming this area in autumn 1938. In the second part of the article presents the realities of life in Trans-Olza in the second half of the 1930s, which were witnessed by Paweł Hulka-Laskowski. He collected material for his monumental work on Trans-Olza Silesia. This work is practically unknown today, but it is an equivalent of the results of Melchior Wańkowicz’s travels around East Prussia in the book Na tropach Smętka. Who has ever heard in Poland of the work by Paweł Hulka-Laskowski Śląsk za Olzą Similarly, who has the knowledge of the long-forgotten Western Borderlands? This article introduces readers to this subject matter.

Full textAbstract:
The essay offers a reconstruction of particular stages of Jerzy Ficowski’s (1924-2006) critical career, focusing on his research on Bruno Schulz’s biography. It is based onFicowski’s private archive, mainly his correspondence with people who knew him personally. The author describes how the process of reconstructing Schulz’s life in Ficowski’s precursorial work stimulated the growing number of the writer’s enthusiasts sharing with the biographer what they knew and remembered themselves or discovering memories of others. He presents a group of Polish Jews, most of them living abroad, for whom both Schulz and Ficowski made a unique connection between the present and their youth – either their school years in Drohobych, or Poland right after World War II. Next to the biographical foundations of Schulzology – Regions of the Great Heresy and Okolice sklepów cynamonowych [Cinnamon Shops and Their Surroundings] – the author discusses Ficowski’s editorial achievements, points at his edition of “Second Autumn” [Druga jesień], the only Schulz’s work surviving in manuscript, and demonstrates how Księga listów [The Book of Letters] was made, including some found one by one against all odds. Ficowski also initiated and followed Schulz’s reception all over the world. He was lending a hand to translators and editors, provided the latter with valuable editorial comments, and wrote footnotes to editions of Schulz’s fiction in foreign languages. Moreover, the essay includes information on the problems that Ficowski was facing while writing his own books on Schulz and then trying to find their translators and publishers in the West. Important were also the years of the gradual fall of communism (1988-1989) when he started hoping to find some manuscripts left in Ukraine, in particular Schulz’s lost novel Messiah, as well as more of letters and works of art. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain, yet in the 1990s he contributed to various initiatives of commemorating the writer in his hometown.

Full textAbstract:
Author of the article analyzes the 3rd volume of the History of the Crimean Tatars, dedicated to the Crimean Khanate of the15th–18th centuries, published in Kazan in 2021, and resulted from the 2-year international research project aiming to produce the first academic History of the Crimean Tatars in a five volumes. This is a pioneering and valuable research covering the whole period of the Khanate history, from its formation in the first half of the 15th century to its annexation to the Russian Empire under the reign of Catherine the Great, who abolished the Khanate in 1783. The book discusses different aspects of the Khanate’s everyday life: its conquests and frequent raids against non-Muslim neighbors, foreign and domestic politics, Crimean Tatars’ economy, slave trade, spiritual and material culture, religion, military affairs, demography, their relationship with ethnic and confessional minorities of the Khanate and their Diaspora abroad, images of the Crimean Tatars as the Other constructed and later Orientalized by foreign travelers and observers from Western Europe, Ukraine and Russia. In fact, this book rehabilitates the Crimean Khanate, showing that it was not just a robber’s nest, living off raids on neighbors and the international slave trade, as the late Soviet literature argued. The study fills in a significant gap in contemporary historiography on the subject in the field of Oriental, Russian, Polish, and Ukrainian studies. It also contributes to comparative history of the northern Black sea area at the turn of the early modern times. It is noteworthy that the new series on History of the Crimean Tatars does not dismiss the legacy of the anti-Crimean Soviet literature categorically, but attempts to rethink it all creatively, starting with the pre-revolutionary classic study written by V.D. Smirnov. It resumes revisionist historiography of the Crimean Khanate from Perestroika to the present day proposing possible alternative readings of its history.

Wojciech A.J. Gluziński, a philosopher and an outstanding Polish theoretician of museology, passed away on 26 March 2017. He was born on 31 March 1922 into an intellectual family in Lviv. He commenced studying philosophy in 1945 at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, and continued at the Faculty of Humanities at the University & Polytechnic in Wrocław. He got an MA in philosophy in 1952, but even in 1949 he had already started working in the Old Townhouse (later the Historical Museum of the City of Wrocław), a branch of the Silesian Museum (since 1970 the National Museum) in Wrocław. He was connected with the National Museum until the end of his career. In the following years he held the posts of Head of Historical Department, Head and later Curator of the Department of History of Material Culture, and was the museum’s advisor and counsellor from 1991 to 1995. He organised a dozen permanent and temporary exhibitions during more than 40 years of working. He wrote numerous articles published in such periodicals as: “Annual of the Kłodzko Region”, “Annual of Silesian Ethnography” and “Annual of Silesian Art”. His long-term studies on the theory of museology resulted in a doctoral dissertation entitled Philosophical and methodological problems of museology written under the supervision of Prof. Kazimierz Malinowski in 1976 in the Institute of Conservation and Historic Monuments Studies at the Copernicus University in Toruń. The edited work was published in 1980 as a book entitled Underlying museology. Gluziński shared his opinions at numerous conferences abroad, and published articles in post-conference materials, including in “ICOFOM Study Series”, “Muzeologické Sešity” and in “Neue Museumskunde. Theorie und Praxis der Museumsarbeit”.

The article is dedicated to Stanisław Gliwa, a Polish owner of a <em>private press</em>-style publishing house, graphic designer and typographer. The author of the article analyses the attitude of Gliwa as an emigrant and one of lesser-known representatives of the so-called ‘indomitable soldiers’, utilising published studies and archival material available (predominantly sets of correspondence). Examining Gliwa’s relationships with Poles in London, with English people, as well as with his compatriots in his home country, the author inspects how the typographer coped with isolation, which he consciously elected. In the conclusions, the author highlights the presence of the wandering printer topos, thanks to which Gliwa could universalise his experience and place it within a centuries-old cultural context.

Full textAbstract:
Langston Hughes traveled to Spain in 1937, during that Country's Civil War. He saw the Republic's Fight against Franco as an international fight against fascism, racism, and colonialism and for the rights of workers and minorities. Throughout the 1930s, Hughes organized for justice, at home and abroad, often engaging with communist and other left political organizations, like the Communist Party USA's John Reed Club, the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, and the International Workers' Order (Rampersad, Life 236, 286, 355; Scott). When the war in Spain began, in 1936, workers and intellectuals who were engaged on the left came from around the world to fight against Franco's forces; these volunteers, the International Brigades, included approximately 2,800 Americans known as the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, of which about ninety were African American (Carroll vii; “African Americans”). Hughes went to Spain to interview black antifascist volunteers in the International Brigades and write about their experiences for the Baltimore Afro-American, VolunteerforLiberty, and other publications. Much of Hughes's writing from Spain sought to explain to people at home why men and women, and African diasporic people especially, had risked their lives to fight in Spain. Hughes profiled African Americans fighting for the first time alongside white comrades in the International Brigades, including Ralph Thornton, Thaddeus Battle, and Milton Herndon (“Pittsburgh Soldier Hero,” “Howard Man,” “Milt Herndon”). In addition to writing articles, he wrote poetry, gave radio speeches, and translated poems and plays from Spanish into English. Much of Hughes's work from the Spanish Civil War has been collected in anthologies. However, so prolific was Hughes, and so fastidious was he in saving drafts and ensuring they reach his collection at Yale University's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, that many unpublished works exist in archives. The four poems here represent different poetic registers and levels of polish, and they illuminate the dynamic range of Hughes's literary production during his time in Spain.

Full textAbstract:
In a typological way, the paper considers the problem of preservation/loss of the writer’s individuality, with a focus on the national identity as its essential component, on the example of the self-published texts of Ukrainian and Polish literature, in particular the essay by Czesław Miłosz “Alpha, or Moralist” from the book “The Captive Mind” and literary-critical research work by Vasyl Stus “Phenomenon of the Age (Ascent to Calvary of Glory)”. Both for Vasyl Stus and Czesław Miłosz the native language is a matter of special importance as well as their attachment to the homeland, which is expressed in the awareness of the impossibility to fully realize their talents abroad. In the context of the totalitarian system, which perceived art as a means of asserting ideology, the paper analyzes image features of a famous prose writer Jerzy Andrzejewski and outstanding poet Pavlo Tychyna in the texts of their contemporaries Cz. Miłosz and V. Stus. The main issues are the motive of disguise and pretending to be another, the peculiarities of creative work aiming at pleasing the authorities as a conscious apostasy from one’s own “I”. The role of a state writer leads to the destruction of the writer’s individuality, in particular his national identity (in the “Phenomenon of the Age”), turning the artist into a ‘dead’ person-function. V. Stus and Cz. Miłosz are similar in their desire to understand the writers represented in their texts, to interpret them as victims of the system. Attention is drawn to the difference in the narration of the compared texts: if Cz. Miłosz presents the story about J. Andrzejewski keeping some emotional distance, V. Stus is deeply concerned about the loss of P. Tychyna’s poetic individuality, and with it – national identity, perceiving the tragedy of Ukrainian literature as personal harm. б e question of national identity in the work by Cz. Miłosz is not actually raised, while in V. Stus’s one it is presented quite clearly in its historical continuity as a fundamental problem of the Ukrainian culture.

Full textAbstract:
The basis for the study is the book fund of the Department of Foreign Ukrainian Studies of the VNLU, which has become an important information resource for source studies of works by scientists of the Ukrainian diaspora. It gives an opportunity to explore the history and evolution of creative interpretations of Vasyl Stefanyk’s cultural heritage. The article examines the “Stefanykiana” of the Ukrainians abroad, which puts the writer’s legacy in the global context. The works of I. Kostetsky, O. Chernenko, and M. Stekh present V. Stefanyk’s work for the first time against the background of processes that took place in European cultural and art life at the turn of the century, during the prime era of modernism. Stefanyk’s work was discovered by the Poles W. Moraczewski and S. Przybyszewski, who introduced him to their artistic environment and began to translate, print and promote his works. The chief theorist of modernism S. Przybyszewski considered him as a genius and put V. Stefanyk’s name next to the most prominent writers of Europe. The Polish critic H. Hescheles considered his work as more interesting than the work of the Nobel Laureate W. Reymont. However, the reception of Stefanyk’s works by the Ukrainian Galician community was adverse. There were objective and subjective processes of Stefanyk’s rejection from his native Ukrainian environment with its “folk” and “enlightenment” canon (i.e. the writer was to serve the people, write for the people, as well as awaken and develop the people). Stefanyk was an expressionist and a world-class writer who managed to get to the heart of things and phenomena, and portray life and people in a style inherent in European and world writers. The conflict with Ukrainian environment forced him to stop writing. He did not write for 15 years. As a result, the opportunity to bring his own people and literature to the international cultural space and to establish them in world culture was lost. I. Kostetsky believes that the fact that Stefanyk was unable to actualize himself under the pressure of his native Galician environment is one of the most burdensome points of the Ukrainian collective guilt.

Pastor Miroslav Danys, Doctor of Theology, cherishes the memory of Vydūnas in German town of Detmold for many years, where Vydūnas settled after emigrating from East Prussia in 1946 and spent the last years of his life, and was buried in Detmold. In 1991, he assisted in the exhumation of Vydūnas’ remains and their transfer to the Bitėnai cemetery, near Ramby- nas Hill. At the request of Detmold Mayor Rainer Heller, he translated Vydūnas’ documents into Polish. In the shelter for students at Wiesenstrasse 5 in Detmold, where Vydūnas lived in 1946, he also inspired and contributed a lot to the unveiling of the Vydūnas memorial plaque and initiated the installation of his monument-bust on the facade of the same house in 2012. The memorial sculpture designed by sculptor Lionginas Garla was unveiled and presented to the public on May 10, 2013. In 2017, Miroslav Danys, together with Britta Storost, prepared for publication Vydūnas’ work Sieben HundertJahre deutsch-litauischer Beziehungen.Zum ISO. Geburtstages des Autors (Deutsch) Gebundene Ausgabe (LIT-Verlag, Berlin). Miroslav Danys’ book Vydūnas undDeutscheKultur: Neue Perspektiven zum ISO. 100. Jahrestagder Unabhdn- gigkeitserkldrung Litauens (“Vydūnas and German Culture: New Perspectives Commemoration of the 150th Birthday of the Prussian-Lithuanian Bridge Builder and the 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of Lithuania”) was published in 2018 in the same publishing house in Berlin. In 2016, pastor Miroslav Danys was awarded the Badge of Honor “Bring your Light and Believe” by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania.In 2018, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Lithuania thanked him: “Meaningful activities fill the human soul with joy, and illuminate the being in various colours. Your activity in Vydūnas Society inspires others to live meaningfully, to hear what their hearts say and most importantly - to love those around them. On behalf of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, I would like to sincerely thank you for your meaningful and socially responsible contribution to taking care of the memory of the Nation’s teacher, philosopher Vydūnas, fostering and popularizing his thoughts not only in Lithuania but also abroad. You are a great example that difficult jobs can be done with enthusiasm and empathy. Happiness and good luck to you!” (Saulius Skvernelis, Vilnius, March 22,2018). Pastor Miroslav Danys is also known as an honorary member of the Vydūnas Society in Germany. This publication is based on a paper presented at the international scientific conference “To See Differently” dedicated to the 150th birth anniversary of the philosopher and creator Vilhelmas Storasta-Vydūnas, which took place at the Museum of Applied Art and Design in Vilnius, on March 22, 2018, and the speech given during the presentation of Vydūnas’ book “Seven Centuries of German-Lithuanian Relations” at the Writers’ Club on September 14, 2017.

“FRIENDS OF POLISH BOOKS” AND “SERVANTS OF EXCELLENCE”: TRANSLATORS’ PROFILES IN THE MONTHLY POLAND (1970-1981)
 The paper deals with the image of translators in the monthly Poland in the years 1970-1981. Forty articles are analysed with the intention of testing the hypothesis that the promotion of the profiles of translators in the journal was part of a broader campaign launched by the authorities of the Polish People’s Republic to promote the country abroad. The publications in which translators were called “friends of Polish books” and “servants of excellence” were to build a positive image of Poland as a country with an exemplary foreign cultural policy in which translation played an important role. The question to what extent the image-oriented efforts of translators convinced readers about the cultural policy of the Polish People’s Republic remains open.

Full textAbstract:
The paper offers an insight into the poor state of preservation of the Polish popular publications of the second half of the 19th century, based on systematic queries for the new edition of the Estreicher family Bibliografia Polska XIX stulecia (Polish Bibliography of the 19th century). The queries revealed that many of the editions in question are now completely lost, and quite often the only one or two survived copies can be found either abroad or in small local libraries/museums. The discussed examples include several popular books by the Roman Catholic bishop, Szymon Marcin Kozłowski; the commonly used primer for country children (Elementarz dla chłopców wiejskich for boys and Upominek dla dziewcząt wiejskich for girls); and the religious publications of Blessed Father Honorat OMFCap (Florentyn Wacław Koźmiński). Problems with the preservation of popular books from cultural borderlands are illustrated by the case of the Lutheran catechism published by Rev. Karol Kotschy for the local Silesian evangelical community in Ustroń. Finally, a few examples of the 19th-century Polish-American mass publications are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the broad relationship between Zygmunt Haupt and books, based on source materials from the Zygmut Haupt Papers collection at Special Collections, Stanford University Library in California. Zygmunt Haupt (1907-1975) was a Polish émigré writer and painter, who was published in the leading Polish émigré publications, such as „Culture” in Paris, „Wiadomości” in London, and „Tematy” in New York. He was a recipient of the Culture Award in 1962 and the Kościelski Foundation Award in 1971, but was not published in Poland during his lifetime. The author presents Z. Haupt as an author; a translator; a promoter of books not available to Polish readers at that time, on the waves of the Voice of America and the US Information Agency; and finally, a reader. By keeping contact with leading figures of the Polish émigré – Jerzy Giedroyc and the team of the Literary Institute in Paris, Mieczysław Grydzewski, Zygmunt Hładki and Zdzisław Ruszkowski in London, Paweł Mayewski, Józef Wittlin and Aleksander Janta-Połczyński in New York – he had the opportunity to exchange information about books published in the USA and Poland, as well as their readings. His extensive correspondence with booksellers in Poland, Great Britain, France, Switzerland, and the USA showcases his reading interests, as well as a rich collection of index cards with the titles he read, owned or ordered from booksellers abroad and in the USA.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses serialised novels published before 1918 in the Polish émigré press in the United States of America. These works were a popular feature of dailies and weeklies, but the periodicals’ regular financial difficulties meant that it was books published several years or indeed several decades earlier in Europe which were most often serialised. Consequently, most of the works that appeared in the periodicals failed to reflect contemporary literary trends while also overlooking subjects relevant to the everyday lives of Poles abroad. Still, the prevailing patriotic and historical themes complemented the values that many editorial boards subscribed to.

Artykuł jest próbą przeanalizowania zagranicznej recepcji książek reporterskich Jacka Hugo-Badera o byłym ZSRR. Przyglądając się sposobowi publikacji i promocji tłumaczeń przeznaczonych na rynek amerykański, autorka wskazuje na osadzanie tych tekstów w ramach globalnej genologii (kategorii survival non-fiction). Świadectwa profesjonalnego i nieprofesjonalnego odbioru Białej gorączki na Ukrainie (gdzie „polska szkoła reportażu” jest ważnym punktem odniesienia) stają się z kolei pretekstem do zarysowania kontekstu postkolonialnego. Za znaczący autorka uznaje brak przekładów książek Hugo-Badera w Rosji. Proponowane case study w szerszej perspektywie wskazuje na rożne możliwości zafunkcjonowania polskich reportaży za granicą. Белая горячка and White Fever: How Jacek Hugo-Bader Is (not) Read Abroad The article is an attempt at analysing the foreign reception of Jacek Hugo-Badera’s reportage books on the former USRR. Looking at the method of publishing and promoting the translations meant for the American market, the author points out the embedding of these texts in the global genology (the category of survival non-fiction). The testimonies of a professional and non-professional reception of White Fever in Ukraine (where the Polish school of reportage is an important point of reference) become in themselves a pretext to sketch out the post-colonial context. The author deems the lack of Russian translations of Hugo-Bader’s books to be important. From a wider perspective, the proposed case study indicates the different ways of the Polish reportages being relevant abroad.

An Overview of the Work of Polish Scholarship on Roman Law in the First Decade of the Twenty-First Century Summary In the first decade of the 21st century Polish scholars of Roman Law accomplished a considerable amount of work, adopting an entirely new area of research. While publications on private law had constituted the predominant trend since the Second World War, especially in the first forty years of the period, articles on public law were an exception until recent times. In the last few years nearly twice as many monographs have been published on a broad range of issues in public law, such as the political system, administration, and criminal law, as on private law. The numer of articles on public law has also been much larger than on other branches of Roman law. The work of Polish Romanists has earned acknowledgement abroad, as evidenced by the invitations Polish researchers have been receiving to contribute to foreign occasional volumes, and by the digests of Polish books and articles which have appeared in the Italian scholarly journal «Iura. Rivista internazionale di diritto romano e antico».

Full textAbstract:
Most of the posthumous portraits of Louis II, who died in the battle of Mohács in 1526, show him in armour. In some pictures he is wearing fictitious armour, but in other portraits he is clad in the armour which until 1939 was believed to had once been his, but actually had been made in 1533 for the Polish king Sigismund II Augustus and is currently kept in the Hungarian National Museum. The author of the study has examined the latter group of artworks. She describes the armours of Louis II, some only mentioned in archival sources or historical works. Some items that can certainly or presumably be attributed to him are kept in museums abroad. The first paintings in which Louis II is wearing the gilded ornamental armour were painted by István Dorffmeister in the mid-1780s. Since at that time the armour was on display in one of the gala rooms fitted out in Vienna’s Kaiserliches Zeughaus in the 1760s, the study discusses the history of the imperial armour and weapon collections and the conception of the arms exhibition in the Zeughaus at that time. After the demolition of the Zeughaus in 1856, the armour was transferred, together with the rest of the imperial collection of armours and weapons, to the war museum wing of the newly built Arsenal. The armour was presented by the Austrian catalogues of the museum as belonging to Louis II, and some items had illustrations added to them. The armour was introduced in Pest in 1876 at a historical exhibition for charitable purposes, and later in 1896 at the Millennial Exhibition. The Hungarian press also devoted articles to it, and several scholarly papers were written about the armour.The prototypes for some of the 19th century artworks depicting Louis II in the Viennese armour – most of them local monuments preserving the memory of the battle – were István Dorffmeister’s paintings. His battle scene showing the death of Louis II appears in a sketch of an unrealized monument, dated 1846; in the picture painted on metal that adorned the monument in Mohács in the 1860s and on the bronze relief replacing it in the late 1890s. The antecedents to another group of representations must have been the 19th century Austrian and Hungarian descriptions and illustrations of the armour attributed to Louis II. The ruler wears this armour in several book illustrations and on the statue by Ferenc Vasadi on the Danubian facade of the Hungarian Parliament building.Although these artworks presenting Louis II in Sigismund II Augustus’ armour do not satisfy the iconographic criteria of historical authenticity, they were up-to-date for their time, for instead of depicting the fictitious, often waywardly fantastic armours of earlier centuries, they presented the portrayed person in an existing armour made in his own era, that is, with a historically authentic appearance.

Full textAbstract:
In the sixteenth-century Poland during the Renaissance period, there were numerous outstanding physicians who, in addition to studying at the Cracow Academy, burnished their proffessional skills also at foreign universities, mostly Italian. Among the contemporary medics, four extraordinary scholars are worth reminding: Maciej of Miechów, Josephus Strusthius, Wojciech Oczko and Sebastian Petrycy of Pilzno. What all of the mentioned had in common was a great desiere for knowledge, diligence, commitment to professional and scientific activities, partocopation in social and political life of the country and great patriotism. As a result of their professional and scientific work, they gained huge publicity in Poland and abroad, evidenced by their merits at the regal courts where they anjoyed the recognition and friendship of the monarchs. They left behind a significant legancy in the form of books on different fields of knowledge, especially medicine.

Full textAbstract:
The current research is based on a socio-historical approach to the cultural role of tourism media in the reconstruction of cultural identities, specifically place-identity. It explores the role of Israeli outgoing tourism guidebooks in the reconstruction of local, Israeli place-identities. Stemming from a multidisciplinary methodological approach to the research of the book publishing industry, 17 titles written in Hebrew for Israeli outgoing tourists are chosen for their cultural stance and a manifest textual referencing of issues regarding Israeli identity. Critical discourse analysis of lingual content is used for exploring the texts’ social actions regarding the Israeli identity by following the inclusion and omission of tourist information and suggested itineraries. Results suggest justification of tourism abroad as the books’ main textual strategy. Six textual tactics are used for reconstructing Israeli tourists’ pre-trip motivations, on-trip tourist roles and behaviors, and post-trip reflections. Israeli outgoing tourism is reconstructed as creating a temporary, playful sphere for reiterating Israel’s predominance in the lives of Israelis even while touring abroad. The cultural significance of tourism media is discussed in conclusion by pointing at the books’ double role in both marketing and cultural construction of a consensual Israeli-Jewish pace-identity amidst global changes.
