- Summary/Abstract:The subject of this article is commentary as a fixed component of an active reading of a literary work during past centuries, inextricably coexisting with the text. It has been discussed in many aspects: 1) there exists a great diversification of form of commentaries in the writings of past centuries; 2) its basic function remains unchanged – a reading guide, an efficient tool of consultation of the learned author with a reader; 3) its aim is to explain the content of the work in order to enable students to interpret it in many aspects; 4) commentary in the form of a lecture contained various explanatory notes; 5) some of the above mentioned forms of expression provided a foundation for the content commentary.Throughout centuries, commentary was undergoing extensive changes, from a lecture offering multifaceted interpretation of a literary work, an independent text similar to the contemporary monographic statement, to a brief, „typical” commentary from an editor.

- Summary/Abstract:This paper offers an analysis of literary commentaries printed in one of the most interesting editions of Andrea Alciato’s Emblemata – the 1583 edition, which was annotated by Claude Mignault (1536–1606), scholar-humanist and professor of law at the University of Paris. Commentary – while remaining outside the genre structure of an emblem – was an integral part of the philological endeavor which significantly broadened the reception of Alciato’s Emblemata. This article shows the historical context of annotated editions of the Italian scholar’s work as well as the horizon of erudition, the scope and architectonics of Claude Mignault’s annotations.

- Summary/Abstract:The first part of this article concerns the authorship of annotations to Horace’s Pieśni wszystkie Horacjusza przekładania różnych and Tacitus’ Dzieła wszystkie translated by Adam Stanisław Naruszewicz. The second part focuses on distinguishing, characteristics, and exemplification of types and functions of endnotes/footnotes to political poems published in occasional prints during the Enlightenment. It mainly concerns the works from the Four-Year Sejm period as they most fully exemplify this type of texts. The author of the article points to various editorial problems. First and foremost, they concern literary and scholarly works, which were particularly significant for the community tradition and culture. Such publications required the authors-translators of that time to be familiar with earlier sources and studies, as well as a suitable preparation of these texts for a Polish reader. Further, the considerations concern the original shorter texts which were created spontaneously at that time in response to events in the country and published in singular occasional prints. They were authored by known, less known, or, oftentimes, anonymous writers – participants of the public life. This paper also addresses the placement, form, and style of endnotes/footnotes as important components of the editorial framework of literary works in contemporary research papers and critical editions from the second half of the 18th century.

- Summary/Abstract:The material for this dissertation was selected from several Enlightenment editions of poetry and its translations. The annotations that were taken into account were selected exlusively from the volumes of poetry authored or translated by that period’s leading men of letters, whose assumingly mature creative awareness translated to creative decisions that were made. This article distinguishes several groups of annotations concerning the broadly understood poets’ „creative technique” and specifies their functions. A close analysis of the annotations regarding specific decisions and creative inspirations in the case of original poems and their translations, as well as of the poetry itself, allowed the author to distinguish another writer (beside Franciszek Dionizy Kniaźnin), who as a poet, translator, and editor exhibited much more activity in this regard than other men of letters of that time.

- Summary/Abstract:The authors and translators of articles in Polish eighteen-century press used, albeit with variable frequency, four types of note references: glossarial, content, bibliographic, and referential: internal. Glossarial notes explained the meaning of Polish and foreignlanguage terms, expressions, and geographic concepts. The most frequent in the press were content notes, which were used when related issues had to be explained or supplemented. In such references a more extensive commentary, frequently discursive, was printed by the editors, who provided their own remarks on the texts, explained historical characters, or published editorial information regarding new subject matter in the forthcoming issues. The least frequently used were bibliographic notes. However, if they were used, they resembled contemporary classical endnotes/footnotes. Referential: internal notes directed readers to fragments of the same article printed in other issues of a periodical, to different parts of a periodical, its supplements, or previewed the content to be published.

- Summary/Abstract:This dissertation addresses the issues relating to the place and role of annotations in the printed political sermons of Stanislavian times. The analysis of the collected material allowed putting forth a thesis that annotations were not commonly used in this type of religious prose, unlike the customary supplemental statements accompanying the sermon narrative, rooted in the practices of a dialogue with a reader through titles, forewords, dedicatory letters, and print permits. Using explanatory notes depended mainly on the author’s knowledge and scholarly competence, their sensitivity to the changes in literary and reading culture, awareness of the significance of annotations for the reading, reception, and social circulation of a literary work. Annotations had different forms and served various functions. They were either concise and boiled down to giving short, explanatory information about the content or bibliography, or, they were comprehensive historical comments, enriched with reflection on history and extensive source excerpts. During the Great Sejm and Kosciuszko Uprising, there appeared polemical annotations, close to political journalistic writing.

- Page Range:209-231
- No. of Pages:23
- Summary/Abstract:The aim of this article is to show in what way authorial annotations to mock-heroic narrative poems shape the writer-reader relations by emphasizing diverse forms of creative activity of the subject of the poem, with particular attention to the process of writing. The topic of considerations is the role of annotations in six poems of this genre: Organy by Tomasz Kajetan Węgierski, Heautoumastix by Jacek Przybylski, Urywek z bicza kręconego w Krakowie by Franciszek Ksawery Dmochowski, Suflerois by Józef Franciszek Królikowski, Gorset by Kajetan Jaksa Marcinkowski, and Klub Piśmienniczy by Tymon Zaborowski. The variety of functions of annotations in each of these poems, as emphasized in this article, is seen as a manifestation of the variety of forms of a mock-heroic poem, and also – more broadly – as an illustration of the character of transformations in the Enlightenment epic.

- Summary/Abstract:The subject of this article is the annotation that Stanisław Kostka Potocki included in the manuscript of his translation of the treatise Discours sur les sciences et les arts by Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1750/1751?). The author of the article is interested in the usage of the term „urbanity” in the Polish translation of the text so relevant for the philosophical thought of the Enlightenment for at least two reasons: the accuracy of translation and evaluation of the urban way of life perfomed by Potocki-the translator. The author discusses Potocki’s commentary added to the translation in the context of his decision to replace the French word urbanité with the Polish equivalent – „miejskość” [urbanity]. She shows the translator’s decision at the backdrop of the Enlightenment vision of the city supported by Rousseau’s philosophy and Polish physiocratism, as well as contemporary connotations of the term proposed by the eighteen-century author.

- Summary/Abstract:This dissertation concerns the rare phenomenon in the Polish eighteen-century poetry, particularly authored by a woman, that is footnotes, occasionally extensive, which Konstancja Benisławska included in some parts of the volume Pieśni sobie śpiewane… (1776). These footnotes, far beyond source references, are where the poet expresses, sometimes emphatically, her moral and religious convictions, and criticisms regarding her contemporary literary life and editorial movement. Thus, Benisławska’s footnotes become an individual seal of a poet-erudite. Aside from the main argument, while delineating the field of research, the author of the article offers a bibliography of the nineteen-century editions of the prayer-book which have not been associated with Benisławska’s name up to now.

- No. of Pages:20
- Summary/Abstract:The subject of considerations in this article is the editorial history of the „additions in prose” to Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz’s Śpiewy historyczne, published in 1816. The first three editions, prepared in cooperation with the author, allow us to argue that historical commentaries constitute an integral part of this collection. However, next editors did not always include this constituent of the editorial framwework. One of the reasons for their decisions was Joachim Lelewel’s review, in which he expressed criticisms about Niemcewicz’s faithfulness to historical truth in that volume. As early as in 1835, the editor decided to include that review in his edition of Śpiewy historyczne in order to correct the author’s inaccuracies. In later editions, we can also note other practices: changing the alternate arrangement of songs and additions in prose, as used by the author, and replacing it with the division into two distinctintly separated parts, the omission of Niemcewicz’s historical comments (as outdated or due to economic considerations) and replacing them with other explanatory notes. Recalling these editions leads the author to the conclusion about the need for a new, critical edition of Śpiewy historyczne.

- Summary/Abstract:The topic of this article is the functioning of annotations in Józef Maksymilian Ossoliński’s most important scholarly work: Wiadomości historyczno-krytyczne do dziejów literatury polskiej ( 1819–1822). A n a nalysis o f c riticisms a bout i ts s tructure, i ncluding different types of annotations, prompts the author to consider these annotations thrugh the prism of Ossoliński’s personality as a scientist. The object of analysis, beside Ossoliński’s dissertation, become: the count’s theoretical arguments about pursuing research and his correspondence. An important context regarding the role and structure of annotations in Ossoliński’s work is Dictionnaire historique et critique by Pierre Bayle (1697). The author of the article not only indicates formal resemblances between the Polish and French works but also argues that they stemmed from the similarities in the scientific disposition of Bayle and Ossoliński.

- Summary/Abstract:This study concerns the first edition of the „historical song”, a peculiar poem by Wincenty Ignacy Marewicz entitled Nefelonikones, urywki z ociemicielstwa. Zbiór osobliwych obrazów z dzieł dawnego świata…, which was published in Paris in 1836, fourteen years after the author’s death. A part of this article concerns the persons who could have participated in preparing this edition. The print has a rich editorial framework that includes a Latin epigraph and a prose introduction, a verse address from the editor to the reader, an introduction by the author, and commentaries from the editor. The editor’s annotations vary in character. They include strictly informational or informational-supplemental notes and annotations regarding the writing technique. The most interesting are the commentaries from the second category, of amplifying character, as they often indirectly characterize the editor himself. The comments added to the content notes, the way the annotation is formulated, and its stylistics reveal the commentator’s attitude toward the concepts evoked in Marewicz’s work, the situations and events he was describing and evaluating.

- Page Range:299-344
- No. of Pages:16
- Summary/Abstract:This article discusses authorial annotations introduced by Antoni Edward Odyniec to two writings that were: Listy z podróży and Wspomnienia z przeszłości opowiadane Deotymie, published in the 1870s and 1880s. References, although they constitute a small percentage, are their important part. Penned by a skilled story-teller, they become an additional tool, supplementing the conscious artistic endeavors in the main text. Primarily, they have an important function at the factual level: they are useful in the reconstruction of biographies of persons mentioned in the recollections, they supplement information, provide more precise dates and comment on the described events. On the other hand, as far as the author’s persona is concerned, annotations have a task to aid in the construction of the narrator/author’s own image for future generations as Adam Mickiewicz’s a friend from youth, creating an omnipresent myth about their close relations. Thus, Antoni Edward Odyniec’s annotations demonstrate a certain level of artistic awareness and the writer’s skillful game with the reader, which the historians of literature usually deny the author of Listy z podróży and Wspomnienia z przeszłości opowiadane Deotymie. However, based on the analysis of his annotations, one could argue that he was a capable prose writer and a conscious artist.

- Summary/Abstract:This article is the second part of a study devoted to the rethoric and function of Adam Mickiewicz’s annotations to his poetic works – Konrad Wallenrod (1828) and Part III of Dziady (1832). These works evocatively connect history and current politics, and their annotations continue and further develop Mickiewicz’s strategies from his earlier poetic works. In the annotations to Konrad Wallenrod, the poet eruditely relates to the historical realities of the depicted world, strenghtening the credibility of the plot and displaying the authority of a refined historian. In the annotations to Part III of Dziady, Mickiewicz supplements literary fiction with accounts of a scholar, political expert, and witness familiar with the realities of the Russian state. Thus, he puts himself in the role of a story-teller commemorating his fellow countrymen’s plight, an analyst exposing the essence of the political system of the tsarist Russia, and a participant of historic events who emphasizes Poland’s historical rationale.

- Page Range:365-380
- No. of Pages:16
- Summary/Abstract:The annotations in Norwid’s writings reveal a tension between the rhetorical and the lyrical, characteristic for his works. On the one hand, conventional explanations and philological commentaries (occasionally erroneous due to the poet’s lack of knowledge or memory), initiating the conventions proper to the rhetorical function of docere, fit into the tradition of a classical erudition. On the other hand, their associativity and hermetism, demanding increased attention from a researcher, impose specific Norwidian perspective of the intertpretation of reality. They reveal the authorial „I” and become lyrically and personally charged. In this context, it is worth mentioning particularly the commentaries that – being at odds with Norwid’s principle of „omissions and understatements” – appear to be redundant to the main content. The uniqueness of many of the annotations by Norwid also lies in the fact that they frequently explain very little objectively and hence require explanatory notes themselves, thus prompting an increased intellectual effort in a reader. Therefore, they can be read, to a certain extent, as parallel to the content of the poem Ciemność, among others.
