Bardiów — ośrodek kultury intelektualnej w późnym średniowieczu
Bardiów — a centre of an intellectual culture in the late Middle Ages

Summary/Abstract: The author discusses the most important centres of an intellectual culture in the Middle-Aged Bardiów, namely: a local parish school dated back to 1434, a well-equipped library, existing at a parish church, including over 30 manuscript books in the 15th century and over 100 volumes a half century later, and, finally, a circle of book copyists and miniaturist among whom the most outstanding copyist was Jan Schwarz (his manuscript Liber fratris Johannis Hungari de Bartpha can be found in a University Library in Wrocław) and miniaturist Baltazar Blutfogel. An intellectual resilience of Bardiów is ascribed to people studying at the Cracow University and going back home after studies. A Cracow University became a breeding ground for the staff not only for a parish school, but also a local office. Also local priests held a university education.
