JAN III SOBIESKI POD WIEDNIEM W LITERACKIM ŚWIADECTWIE EPOKI (REKONESANS)
SOME REMARKS ON JOHN III SOBIESKI AT VIENNA IN THE LITERARY TESTIMONY OF THE TIME

Summary/Abstract: The Vienna campaign of King John III Sobieski was widely reflected in the literature: diaries, journals, letters and chronicles. The apologies of the victory of the Polish monarch occurred in many occasional works. Most of them were panegyrical. According to the calculations of researchers (Bolesław Klimaszewski, Juliusz Nowak-Dłużewski), about a dozen or so tales were created. Most poetry on this subject is quite average in terms of artistic skill. It should be remembered, however, that the preserved literary texts (written in Polish and Latin) were meant to glorify the success of the Polish army at Vienna and especially John III Sobieski.
