Średniowieczne „archiwum” Hanny Malewskiej
Hanna Malewska’s Medieval “Archive”

Summary/Abstract: The article is an analysis of an anthology of medieval sources, unpublished to date, prepared by Hanna Malewska. Its comparison, firstly with the writer’s another source study "Listy staropolskie z epoki Wazów" ("Old Polish Letters from the Epoch of the House of Vasa"), then with her two novels "Kamienie wołać będą" ("Stones Would Cry Out") and "Przemija postać świata" ("Fashion of this World Passeth Away") allows to capture the most crucial traits of Middle Ages seen in the anthology in question through the prism of 12th and 13th c. aesthetic and philosophical assumptions. The selection of texts, in spite of their thematic diversity, is to lead to a higher level synthesis of the epoch, available by means of a reference to the motif of cathedral as to society and world model.
