THE POEMS OF DOBREGO ZDROWIA RZĄDZENIE (THE REGIMEN OF HEALTH) IN THE ASTROLOGICAL AND FORECASTING CALENDARS OF THE 1ST HALF OF THE 18TH C. – STYLE AND IMAGING

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research was to performs a stylistic analysis of poems titled Dobrego zdrowia rządzenie (The regimen of health) published in Kalendarz Jatrologisty i Filoartysty na rok 1725 (Calendar of Iatrologist and Philoartist for 1725) and identify cultural references as exponents of style and manners of linguistic imaging. The selected research instrument was the cognitive text analysis model [Tabakowska, 2005]. Motifs of the mediaeval iconography of constellations accompanying the signs of the zodiac, hygienic, nutrition and medical advice drawn from Regimen sanitatis and forecasts related to the astronomical and natural year were found in the 18th-century poems for individual months. The structure of the images of “monthly works” is based on conceptual integration. The threads concerned with microcosm and macrocosm, linked with the astral ideology, were integrated and transformed. The long-term activity of the connections enabled specifi cation of a new meaning. A new logic applies in the poems: the monthly works are performed by personifi ed signs of the zodiac / months; cultural elements coming from court and nobility mores are introduced.
