Michał Piekarski’s monograph Gabiene 316 p.n.e. [Gabiene 316 BCE] analyzes the significance of the Battle of Gabiene and its implications for subsequent Wars of the Diadochi. The title could suggest that the main purpose of the book was to reconstruct the epic battle. However, the book begins with the events that took place directly after Antigonus I Monophthalmus’ death to increase the clarity and coherence of the story. The first chapter focuses on the events of 323 BCE, including the plans and measures undertaken by Macedonian nobility, whereas subsequent chapters present these events in a wider context and provide a detailed description of the Battle of Gabiene. The author makes references to other military conflicts which, in his opinion, influenced the balance of power among the Diadochi and ultimately contributed to Antigonus’ victory in 316 BCE. The article analyzes the book’s content and structure, and it makes several suggestions regarding other literary works on the subject. Source materials that were omitted in the analyzed book, but make an important contribution to research on the Hellenistic period, were proposed. Overall, the book received a positive review, and the author was praised for his style, language and ability to capture the reader’s attention, observed in nearly all parts of the book. The reviewed book makes a valuable contribution to Polish bibliography dedicated to the Hellenistic period.

The second part of the correspondence between Rev. Dr Jan Kwolek (Przemyśl) and Rev. Prof. Jan Fijałek (Kraków) presented here covers eight years: 1928-1936. As for the former priest it was the prime of his spiritual, intellectual and organizational development, whereas the latter was approaching the end of his life, enjoying deserved renown in the field of historical research; he died in 1936.No wonder then that the subject matter of the letters – in vast majority authored by the Przemyśl priest – was largely an account of his successive achievements, in particular in the field of modern organization of the Diocesan Archive which he headed, requests for academic consultations about the formation of a reference library, and discussions on current academic work. Rev. Jan Kwolek would regularly write to his correspondent about concentrating the records from the parish churches of the whole Przemyśl diocese, systematically deposited in Przemyśl. He also used to tell him about the positive reception of his work all over Poland, he shared his joy about significant interest among local theology students in archive work, he did not hide his concern for the fate of the Diocesan Archive due to lack of a successor; finally, he would inform Rev. Fijałek about current events in the local church: changes in managerial positions, deficiencies of the personal policy and his own successive promotions. On the other hand, Rev. Fijałek would spontaneously respond to his younger colleague’s requests, not so much instructing him on the matters of organizing the archive, as that was something Rev. Kwolek managed perfectly well, as indicating the titles of academic books indispensable in an archive library. He did not spare words of praise, which must have been an incentive for the younger priest to keep up the good work.The correspondence makes the reader admire the enormous achievements of one person in the field of establishing in the interwar Przemyśl a second modern research and academic institution (after the Archdiocesan Archive) accessible to historians dealing with matters of the church. The letters published here enhance the reader’s knowledge and awareness by so far unknown facts from the history of research under the aegis of Roman Catholic Church in the Second Republic of Poland.

The authors present a source rarely used in historical research: a commendation of a person delivered on the occasion of their jubilee. By courtesy of the family, an unknown historical source has been edited, concerned with Bohdan Zahaykevycz, one of the major figures in interwar Przemyśl: secondary school teacher, museologist, organizer of cultural activities, brother of Volodymyr Zahaykevych (Deputy Speaker of the Sejm of the Second Republic of Poland and lawyer). After emigrating from Przemyśl, Zahaykevycz was one of the key figures in the life of the Ukrainian diaspora in the USA. This text is supposed to honor his services as a sort of liaison between the past world for American Ukrainians and their postwar reality overseas. It says a lot about what and how was remembered and maintained in the collective memory of the generations living in new reality after 1945, focusing above all on Ukrainian life in Przemyśl in the first half of the 20th century.
