Wpływ teozoficznych epigramatów Anioła Ślązaka na kreacje postaw religijnych bohaterów Dziadów drezdeńskich
The Influence of Theosophic Epigrams of Angelus Silesius on the Creations of Religious Attitudes in Dziady Part III

Summary/Abstract: The author of the text presents the overview of religious attitudes in Mickiewicz’s Dziady part III and compares them with the mystical epigrams of Johannes Scheffler, which were of interest to Mickiewicz during the concept creation of Dziady. Based on the principle of vision (Priest Peter and Eve) or improvisation (Konrad), three charac- ters experiencing religious ecstasies are assigned to separate religious attitudes, suc- cessively gnostic, mystical and magical. The author identifies similarities and differ- ences in the states and aspirations of the various characters, and also demonstrates the influence of Silesius’ epigrams and theosophical thought on the religious-philosophi- cal structure of the drama.
