Old Provincial Catalogue or Catalogue of the Province of the General Church

Stari pokrajinski katalog ili Katalog provincija Opće Crkve

Author(s): Ante Škegro / Language(s): Croatian

Keywords: Charlemagne; Late Antiquity; Early medieval History; Catalogue of the Province of the General Church; Provinciale vetus sive Ecclesiae universae provinciarum notitia; Croatian history

Provinciale vetus sive Ecclesiae universae provinciarum notitia is a complex source in which one of the oldest catalogues of the Catholic bishoprics can be found. The source was dated in the period of Charlemagne (768-814) and grouped together with documents and codexes from his era, inspite the fact that some data are from the later centuries. It is evident that content and structure of this source is very complex, including the data form different periods: we can identify several authors and redactors of the source. Also, we can compare this source with the Liber censum Romanae Ecclesiae, a list of the bishoprics, abbeys, chapters and some lay institutions subjected to the Roman Church, which had the financial and other obligations towards it. This document was written in 1192 by papal chamberlain Sabellus Cencius. Provinciale vetus sive Ecclesiae universae provinciarum notitia is rich with data form early-medieval Christian history. The analysis of its content shows that this source contains documents from different periods. It is evident that already in the early-medieval period the author who was not really a connoisseur of religious and political history revised it. This conclusion was made already by an editor who published Medieval sources in the mid-19th century. The publication was equipped with rich critical apparatus, but remains unclear why the source Provinciale vetus sive Ecclesiae universae provinciarum notitia, containing documents from later periods, was published together with the documents and codexes from the period of Charles the Great. Some authors have been ignoring this source, or have used its information in a negative sense. This source, however, should be used by researches of the Late Antiquity and Early medieval History in comparison with other sources and using critical methodology .

Canonic Visitations of Senj and Modruš (Krbava) Bishoprie

Author(s): / Language(s): Croatian

Keywords: personal visitation; Senj Parish; Senj bishoprie; Modruš bishoprie

Spisi koji su pred nama predstavljaju primjer crkvene birokratske „literature“– strogo formaliziran niz pitanja koja je vatikanska administracija postavljala svojim službenicima, te odgovori koji su na njih dobiveni. Međutim, osim suhih podataka o kanoničkim karijerama i ustroju kaptola, ovi nam dokumenti otvaraju prozor u mnoge segmente života onodobnoga Senja: vjerski, kulturni, intelektualni, trgovački, pa i onaj koji bismo nazvali zabavnim – i po tome su specifični u odnosu na većinu preostalih spisa iz korpusa koji nazivamo kanonskim vizitacijama.

Trust and other fiduciary relationships in comparative and private international law

Trust i inne stosunki powiernicze w prawie porównawczym i prawie prywatnym międzynarodowym

Author(s): Maciej Zachariasiewicz / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: trust; fiduciary relationships; private international law; Law applicable to the trust

The book is dedicated to the Anglo-American notion of a trust, as well as to other fiduciary instruments which are used on the European continent and in Poland. Trusts, extensively employed in the legal practice of the common law systems, nowadays often interact with the legal territories of the countries where such devices are unknown. Moreover, Polish businesses and individuals encounter trusts and various trust-like devices when undertaking activities abroad. In such transnational situations, trusts present a basic difficulty for the authorities and legal practitioners relating to the determination of the applicable law. Using experiences from foreign literature and judicature, the author formulates propositions for solving practical conflict-oflaws problems occurring in cross-border trust situations. These propositions will assist courts, notaries and legal practitioners in dealing with trusts, being unknown in Polish legal system.The conflict-of-laws analysis is preceded by an extensive comparative study of the trusts and other fiduciary relationships. The investigation is carried out in three dimensions: historical, functional and structural. With a view of determining the conflictof-laws rules to be applied in trust-like situations, the author employs in particular the functional method, analysing the socio-economic goals of trusts and searching for their distinctive features, so in order to indicate the equivalent institutions known in the continental legal systems. The work encompasses a broad investigation into the practice of courts in various European countries dealing with the cross-border cases involving trusts. These experiences are then used in order to offer solutions under the Polish private international law.The book examines also the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on their Recognition of 1985 and postulates that Poland should ratify the Convention.

The Incunabula with Geographic Content in Polish Collections. A Study on the History of Scientific Communication in Fifteenth-Century Poland

Inkunabuły zawierające treści geograficzne w zbiorach polskich. Z dziejów komunikacji społecznej i naukowej w dawnej Polsce

Author(s): Piotr Tafiłowski / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: incunabula; history of geography; historical bibliology; late Middle Ages

The book discusses the knowledge and popularity of geographical issues among the intellectual elites in the fifteenth-century Poland. This groundbreaking century, the Age of Discovery, also brought forth development of the revolutionary invention of Johannes Gutenberg – the mechanical movable type printing. Focusing on the mutual influences of these both factors, the author analyses the representation of the incunabula editions of the texts indirectly or directly referring to the knowledge on the Earth, preserved in the Polish book collections.

Mechanics against the Symbolic.The Genesis of New European Historism

Механика срещу символика. Генезисът на новоевропейския историзъм

Author(s): Georgi Kapriev / Language(s): Bulgarian

Keywords: Philosophy; history; Middle Ages; Western Europe; XII-XIII; symbolism; understanding; time; space; nature; image; essence; approach; methodologies; metaphysical; historical; thinking; book; books

This book interprets, from a philosophical perspective, the changes in the historical thinking of Western European culture in the period of XII-XIII. At that time, under the pressure of the powerful mental and social coups, the process of distancing between the historical and the metaphysical: the separation between the history and the philosophy of history takes place. The naturalization of history and therefore the inevitable favoritism of the methodologies, typical for modernism, are reflected in the positive-mechanistic approach to the "historical". The analysis tracks the transformation of the "searching and viewing" of history, along with the fundamental notions: time, place, image, essence. The new thinking of history produces phenomena that are accepted today as "natural". These include the introduction of history into the corpus of science and the "birth of the author".

Protagoras of Abdera – Sophist and Educator. Study in History of Philosophy of Education

Protagoras z Abdery - sofista i wychowawca. Studium z historii filozofii wychowania

Author(s): Marcin Wasilewski / Language(s): English,Polish

Keywords: philosophy of the state and law;mathematics;linguistics;theory of virtue;theory of education;pedagogy;ontology;epistemology;Protagoras;Plato;Aristotle;sophist

Protagoras is one of the most intriguing figures in the history of human thought. Complex fate of ancient literature meant that we only know bits and pieces of his writings, mostly in the form of the famous adages and incipits. However, even these fragments, but most of all the passages that Plato and Aristotle devote to Protagoras, call into existence an image of thinker who played a prominent role in the history of areas such as philosophy (ontology and epistemology), pedagogy (theory of virtue and theory of education), linguistics, mathematics, and philosophy of the state and law

Author(s): I. Chorosz / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: economic history; Jewish history; pale of settlement; Białystok; Belarusian guberniyas; taken lands; history of the textile industry; labor history

Documentary coverage created in 1900 and 1901 by the journalist I. Chorosz (Jakub Perelman) who visited Jewish factories and workplaces and asked the workers about the work system, the fairness of the wages, the production technology and its efficiency, and the employment conditions. The texts are not only a good basis for finding out about the working and living conditions of the Jewish workers but also an interesting source for studying the economic history of the so-called Western guberniyas.

Eschatology in the Work of Jan Hus

Eschatologie v díle Jana Husa

Author(s): Lucie Mazalová / Language(s): Czech

Keywords: Eschatology; Jan Hus; Latin sermons; church reformation; Czech philosophy; philosophy of religion; ultimate destiny of humanity; end of the world;

"The book presents Hus’s views on the last things in the way the indivisible whole of his work and life teaches us. It draws on a content, linguistic, and literary-historical analysis of Hus’s selected works, especially his Latin sermons and his correspondence. Moreover, it takes into account his other works as well as the production of other relevant authors, especially Milíč of Kroměříž, Matěj of Janov, and John Wycliffe. It thus presents Hus’s eschatology in a wider context of church reformation."

Richard Swineshead’s Theory of Motion

Richard Swineshead’s Theory of Motion

Author(s): Robert Podkoński / Language(s): English

Keywords: Richard Swineshead; Oxford Calculators’; Aristotle’s physics; Theory of Motion; mathematical science of local motion

Richard Swineshead’s short treatises (opuscula) on motion provide us with a direct insight into the successive stages in the fourteenth-century Oxford speculative, mathematical science of local motion not only token generally, but also with respect to the progress of this thinker’s scientific awareness and knowledge. Even though the dependence of these opuscula on his predecessors’ – William Heytesbury and Thomas Bradwardine – texts is obvious at first sight, still Richard Swineshead interpreted and developed ingeniously the ideas put forth by the above-mentioned thinkers. Both short treatises on motion ascribed to Richard Swineshead can be justifiably seen as successive „steps” leading towards the treatise On local motion he included in his monumental Liber colculationum. What is more, the actual texts of these opuscula in the form preserved in the manuscript copies should be recognized as reports (reportata) or students’ notes from Richard Swineshead’s lectures, rather than purposely and systematically written treatises. Consequently, these texts give us also on insight into the University discussions on natural philosophy in fourteenth-century Oxford. Therefore, the critical edition of Richard Swineshead’s opuscula on local motion included in this tome, based on all known preserved manuscript copies of these texts, provides the reader with o historically interesting and important piece of evidence of later medieval intellectual life.

Catholicism as a Cultural Phenomenon in the Time of Globalization. A Polish Perspective

Catholicism as a Cultural Phenomenon in the Time of Globalization. A Polish Perspective

Author(s): Stanisław Obirek / Language(s): English

Keywords: Catholicism;Cultural Phenomenon;Globalization

„On the densely and richly populated Polish intellectual scene, Stanisław Obirek is one of the most prominent and significant, indeed out-standing actors. He stands out from the rest of actors for the role he designed and scripted for himself and has been consistently, over many years, performing; (…) a role that follows no ready-made scripts and lines, a role that Obirek originated and developed (…) and which it have succeeded by now to make an indispensable part of the Polish intellectual life.One should be grateful to the publishers for collecting, (…) the manifold Obirek’s writings on the subjects ranging from the general condition of religion in contemporary world, through the problems related to the Church’s place and role in society (…). and up to the convoluted, intricate and puzzling case of the Polish-Jewish relation, which Stanisław Obirek is not the first Catholic tackling, but perhaps the first scholar attempting to approach it as a Catholic. One should be graleful to the publishers, as what they offer the readers is a genuine treasure-trove of fascinating findings, convincing interpretations and inspiring visions, which will most certainly earn a distinguished and durable place in the ongoing debates in Poland, but also all around our disunited yet struggling to unite planet.” Zygmunt Bauman

Reading the Stories of Old. The Man and the World in Chronography, or the History of Żywiec by Andrzej Komoniecki

„Historiej starych” czytanie. Człowiek i świat w „Chronografii albo Dziejopisie żywieckim” Andrzeja Komonieckiego

Author(s): Beata Stuchlik-Surowiak / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: Andrzej Komoniecki; Żywiec; Chronography; chronicle; customs; nature; disease; law;religion;

The book familiarizes the readers with the content of a chronicle, little known not only to average readers but even to researchers, written by the mayor of Żywiec Andrzej Komoniecki (1659–1729), entitled Chronography or the History of Żywiec. The chronicle illustrates the events that took place in the years 1400–1728, primarily in Żywiec and its vicinity, but also in other regions of Poland, and even beyond its borders. In addition to the concise, one-sentence, one-page notes, we find here extensive descriptions of the historical circumstances. Apart from Polish, the chronicle also contains notes in Latin. The text is written in prose, but there are also poems written by Komoniecki himself. A similar richness is also brought by the thematic layer of the work, on the pages of which both the great men of this world–rulers, bishops, hereditary lords – as well as common citizens and even people from the social margin are immortalized. The text of the Chronicle is not fully original; its first part, from the beginning to the year 1586, was (with small exceptions) rewritten from the Polish Chronicle of Marcin and Joachim Bielski, and in addition, the author also used other sources. The most interesting and original fragments are those that refer to Komoniecki’s times, because they contain many valuable descriptions and observations and subjective emotions.The author showed the everyday life of his ancestors, as well as contemporary people, in many different aspects. The central object of the chronicler’s interest appears to be a man whose fate is determined by four powerful forces: nature, disease (and death), religion and law. Within each of these spheres, the mayor of Żywiec recorded above all spectacular and exceptional events, deviating from the routine of the everyday life and destroying the predictable everyday life. Great History has also left its mark on Komoniecki’s work. However, it is recalled in passing, for the sake of documentary accuracy, and constitutes only a background for the events that the chronicle considers most important. As such, Komoniecki focuses on the local events. Thus, the real “master” in the chronicle is not the king, but the local heir, and the attention of an average inhabitant of Żywiec is focused on pests threatening cabbage crops much more often than on subsequent wars, elections, parliaments or coronations.A similar approach has been used in this book, in which the political subject matter of Chronography is discussed in a very narrow scope and appears only when it has a direct connection with the main aim of the research, which is to reconstruct the reality of life of an inhabitant of a small town (predominantly of Żywiec, but also of the surrounding villages and towns) in the era of the First Republic. The content of the Chronography has been presented in the context of other source texts from the researched period, set against the background of the old Polish chronicle tradition, and confronted with the results of contemporary scientific research.

The space of the Holy Land in the 16th-century descriptions of Polish pilgrims. Series: Analecta Literackie i Językowe XIX

Przestrzeń Ziemi Świętej w szesnastowiecznych deskrypcjach polskich pielgrzymów. Analecta Literackie i Językowe XIX

Author(s): Katarzyna Ossowska-Kulińska / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: Holy Land; peregrination; geopoetics, chorography; description

The Holy Land is recognized due to its unique location for the events described in The Bible and its depicted this way since the Second Century. You cannot find any other region that holds so many of geographical, historical, and literary masterpiecies. One of the most interesting resources of presenting this region is the peregrinations which serve as the written memory of the pilgrimages to the Holy Land. The diaries, summaries of events, and guides for the pilgrims count for the majority of the Western European and Late Middle Ages Pilgrimages. This genre includes four unique peregrinations of the Holy Land written by the Polish authors, which are as follows: Terrae sancte et urbis Hierusalem descriptio fratris Anzelmi ordinis Minorum de observantia by Anzelm Pollak, Jan Twardowski's itenary, Jan Gorynski's diary and the description of the journey to the Holy Land Syria and Egypt by Mikolaj Krzysztof "the Orphan" Radziwil. They were published only in XVI century, much later than the Italian or German masterpieces. Does the question arise if those four literary works differ from the Western European Pilgrimages to Palestine? What was the most interesting part of these pilgrimages and how The Holy Land was presented? What is the uniqueness of the Polish masterpieces describing the exploration of the Holy Places? Is their main focus on the religious aspect of Palestine or maybe they also present the oriental atmosphere of this place? In this book, you can find the answers to the above questions but not limited to those. I believe you might be interested in the pilgrimages to the Holy Land by Polish pilgrims who also discovered the Middle East's culture and Nature.

Thinking Kafka. Texts and contexts

Myśleć Kafką. Teksty i konteksty

Author(s): Mariusz Jochemczyk,Józef Olejniczak,Miłosz Piotrowiak / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: Franz Kafka; comparative studies; anthropology of literature; body; war; masculinity; Kafka in Poland

Kafka and his work cannot be interpreted unequivocally; his texts cannot be assigned to any of the currents of modern literature (or more broadly — art). Such an unambiguous interpretation and strict assignment would immobilize the potency and dynamics still inherent in this work. Kafka would then become yet another dead butterfly on a pin, placed in the glass case of a collector of butterfly corpses, fascinated by the natural world and running around the meadows with a net… This is what we wanted to avoid in the sketches collected in this book. Did we succeed? The essay is an approximation, “circling around”; it is a testimony of attempts to come closer, and also attempts to tame. The movement of thought here takes place essentially within two separate intellectual circuits. Indeed, the volume constitutes a two-part whole, combining a detailed analysis of selected works by Franz Kafka (interpretive approach) with a broad overview of contextual themes (somatic experience, pacifism and attitude to war, transformations, flows/influences, metamorphoses, aporias, paradoxes of modern knowledge, etc.).
