„Zeszyty Naukowe Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego” jako czasopismo uniwersyteckie

Author(s): Grzegorz Misiura / Language(s): Polish Issue: 113/2020

The subject of the article is the analysis of the journal ‘Zeszyty Naukowe Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego’ (Scientific Journals of the Catholic University of Lublin) until 2018, that is throughout 60 years of its publication. It was conceived as a presentation of research results of people connected with the university (researchers, students, graduates), as well as a record of events taking place at the university, both inside and outside its walls, through the scientific conference activities of its employees. The circumstances surrounding the creation of the journal are presented, as well as the composition of the editorial committee, which decided on the shape of the individual issues. The analysis was mainly focused on the ‘Articles’ section, which presented scientific achievements. The results are presented in a quantitative way and in percentage distribution, which seems understandable when presenting such extensive source material. It was also pointed out that ‘Zeszyty Naukowe KUL’ is a source of information for research on the history of the university, as it contains a separate section for recording events. Currently, the journal still retains its interdisciplinary character, despite the change of its profile – instead of presenting the achievements of the academic staff of the Catholic University of Lublin, it presents the achievements of authors also from outside this circle.

Inwentarz parafii Racławice z 1923 roku

Author(s): Tomasz Moskal / Language(s): Polish Issue: 113/2020

The parish of Racławice near Nisko was founded at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. Historical sources testify to the presence of at least 3 churches in the Old Polish period. In the middle of the 18th century, the owner of a part of Racławice and Przędzela, Józef Grabiński, founded the church, which burned down in 1914. After Poland regained independence in 1918, a new centre of worship was built. The temple was consecrated on May 8, 1922. The parish inventory of 1923 shows the effort made by the clergy and the faithful to equip the church with the necessary liturgical parameters.

Zakony i zgromadzenia męskie w XX wieku w (archi)diecezji łódzkiej

Author(s): Jan Pietrzykowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 113/2020

In the territory of the diocese of Łódź, which was established in 1920, both newly and previously formed monastic congregations undertook their activities. There were also some unprecedented appearances like those of third orders existing temporarily (Dolorist Brothers, Albertine Brothers, Sacred Heart Brothers) and permanently (Brothers of Mercy, Christian Brothers). As far as the traditional ‘’first’’ orders and monastic congregations existing in the Old Polish period, the first ones that appeared in the 20th century in the diocese of Łódź were Vincentians who came to Pabianice in 1919. In turn, after the Second World War Carmelites of the Ancient Observance and Oratorians settled in Łódź and Tomaszów Mazowiecki respectively. What is more, during the interwar period 3 centres were founded by Salesians: a didactic centre in Łódź, a priesthood centre in Łódź and a care centre in Lutomiersk. The remaining monastic congregations are in charge of one parish both in Łódź and in the territory of the archdiocese: Oblates (Grotniki), Passionists, Claretians, Dehonians (Bełchatów) and Pallottines. Dominicans arrived as the last ones, moving into a 3-storey tenement house in Łódź in 2004. Monks conduct their activities in various social environments and attempt to fulfil their mission in the local Church.

Kasaty opactw cysterskich na Pomorzu Zaodrzańskim w okresie reformacji

Author(s): Gregor Ploch / Language(s): Polish Issue: 113/2020

Until the Reformation, Pomerania was a land of monasteries and rich monastic life, but the Christianization of the region took place exceptionally late, namely in the 12th century. Due to their border-adjacent location and the labile political situation connected with it, the rulers brought monks from Scandinavia and from the depths of the Roman Empire, who, while holding the position of pastors, helped to expand the Christian faith in Pomerania. In the 12th and 13th century Cistercian conventions were established, which had developed dynamically until the Reformation period, influencing public, economic and political life. The Reformation was carried out gradually and calmly in Pomerania, with the exception of the city of Stralsund belonging to Hanseatic League, from which Catholic clerics were expelled. The young alumni of the convents, including the Cistercian Order, who were open to the ‘new teaching’ of the reformers quickly became supporters of Luther’s teachings under the influence of humanism spreading in the universities. The change in the attitude of the young monks led to an internal rupture of religious orders; therefore, the official conversion the Augsburg Confession by the Dukes of Pomerania in 1534, establishing the departure of Pomerania from Catholicism, was a logical consequence of the actual state among the faithful. The above dissertation presents the course of dissolutions of the Cistercian monasteries in Western Pomerania. The key point of reference for the source documentation are the notes made in the case of Eldena Monastery by one of the eyewitnesses of the events, a young monk Anton Remmelding, and later an Evangelical pastor. Despite the the ideological bias of the chronicler presenting earlier events after the transition to Lutheranism, the records are an interesting source presenting the human dramas of the friars who found themselves on the ideological front line of the division between the ardent defenders of the values passed on for centuries and the radical new teaching.

Kościół pw. św. Jakuba i Klasztor Bonifratrów w Łucku w opisie wizytacyjnym z 1832 roku

Author(s): Sławomir Cebula / Language(s): Polish Issue: 113/2020

The Brothers Hospitallers were brought to Lutsk in 1638 on the initiative of the canon priest of the chapter, Rev. Baltazar Tyszka with the support of Bishop Andrzej Gembicki. However, the church of St Mary Magdalene and the monastery built at that time did not survive the fire that struck Luck in September 1781. It was then decided that the Church of St James, erected in the 16th century, was to be handed to them in exchange for the square where the convent had been located. The document of the foundation of the donated St James’s Church is unknown. It is, however, known that it had been a parish church until it was given to the Brothers. The presented description of the church and monastery of the Brothers Hospitallers in Lutsk was drawn up in 1832 as part of a visitation by order of the Bishop of Lutsk and Zhytomyr, Michał Jan Piwnicki, and was written down by the canon of the Cathedral of Lutsk, Michał Sylwestrowicz. The source manuscript is currently stored in the State Archive of Zhytomyr Oblast in Zhytomyr under the reference number: fond. 90, op. 1, sp. 1011. The text is written in Polish. The writing is legible, regular and careful, without deletions or corrections. The act of visitation consists of 16 pages. The edition of the text was carried out according to the rules of the publishing instruction for historical sources from the 16th to mid-19th century by Kazimierz Lepszy, published in 1953 in Warsaw.

Biskup Grzegorz Chomyszyn – zwolennik normalizacji stosunków ukraińsko-polskich w okresie międzywojennym

Author(s): Mieczysław Ryba / Language(s): Polish Issue: 113/2020

The article discusses the views and activities of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Bishop Hryhoriy Khomyshyn at the turn of the 1920s and 1930s. Hryhoriy Khomyshyn was one of the greatest supporters of Polish-Ukrainian reconciliation in the Greek Catholic Church. He was a strong critic of ‘pagan’ Ukrainian nationalism. He made efforts to base the social and political life of Ukrainians on Christian ethics. On such grounds, he sought reconciliation between the Polish and Ukrainian nations. His attitude made him the most serious statesman with whom the Polish authorities found common ground.

Muzeum Wydawnictwa Sióstr Loretanek

Author(s): Joanna Szady / Language(s): Polish Issue: 113/2020

A museum devoted to the memory of Blessed Rev. Ignacy Kłopotowski is being built in the building of the Loreto Sisters’ Publishing House in Warszawa-Rembertów. The permanent exhibition, which has been prepared for several years, is to popularize not only the above mentioned figure and the publishing activity of the founder of the Congregation, but also to promote the culture of printed word on the basis of the presented museum’s resources. The figure of I. Kłopotowski was exposed in the museum in terms of his personal involvement in journalistic and printing work, as well as his spiritual message, which has been realized in publishing work by the congregation of the Loreto Sisters up to the present day. In this way, visitors will learn about the biographical theme in its social dimension, which was a work of evangelization through the printed word, promotion of reading habits and raising the cultural and educational level in light of changing political conditions. The museum will also offer an opportunity to see the technical conditions and effects of the publishing house’s activities in the form of exhibition sets consisting of printing machines, equipment and specialist (typesetting, printing and bookbinding) tools or selected copies of books and newspapers. The exhibition is enriched by technically modern forms of data presentation, which diversify the process of reception of information contained in the museum concept. The Museum of the Loreto Sisters’ Publishing House thus fits into the current trend of visualizing the historical past, which is noticeable in the area of church museums, where the exhibits and material souvenirs of the past together with the applied multimedia solutions create a story that is valuable in many respects. Making the museum accessible to a wide range of audiences will enrich the church’s museum offer, promoting the resources of the historical heritage of the Church in terms of religious, spiritual and educational values.

„Ego librarista”. Działalność Jana Ze Skawiny jako bibliotekarza na Wydziale Prawa Uniwersytetu Krakowskiego

Author(s): Wojciech Świeboda / Language(s): Polish Issue: 113/2020

The article is devoted to the figure of Jan of Skawina (†1520), a doctor and professor of canon law, librarian of the Faculty of Law of the University of Krakow. Although he was not one of the leading or distinguished figures from among the group of Polish scholars at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries and his scientific legacy has not been preserved, he nevertheless showed particular zeal, as the guardian of the library book collection, for the other professors who held the position of librarian. Between 1501 and 1515 he obtained and systematized many works on the subject of law or preaching for the benefit of the faculty library, which were intended as aids to professors and law students. In retrospect, an invaluable achievement of the scholar from Kraków was inserting notes indicating that the manuscripts belonged to the collection of the Law College. These notes not only allow the codes to be assigned unambiguously to the Collegium Iuridicum library, but also inform about the previous owners and about the method and date of obtaining a given copy. Out of 46 preserved medieval books of the Faculty of Law, 39 have notes inscribed by his hand. Jan of Skawina was not only a book keeper but also a donor of several manuscripts. Owing to his efforts, several professors of law and members of Jan’s family passed on their books in their will to the Faculty of Law. In the face of the tragic fire of the Collegium Iuridicum building in 1455, Jan of Skawina’s efforts to acquire new works facilitated a partial reconstruction of the jurist library. These were mainly legal and theological works, which could serve as an aid to the work of preaching. A casual review of the works in the book collection of the Faculty of Law allows us to conclude that the selection of the letters obtained or offered by Jan of Skawina was not accidental. Seemingly modest testimonies of Jan of Skawina’s activity as a librarian turn out to be invaluable for learning about the resources and organization of the library of the Law College. The notes he has included in his manuscripts are a very important source of information about the medieval Faculty of Law of the University of Kraków. They also prove that the position of librarian did not have to be treated by university professors as a burden, but could be seen as a kind of distinction. Jan of Skawina held a number of important church and university posts, and yet he wrote about himself modestly, but with pride, using the term ‘librarista’.

Parafia Opieki Najświętszej Maryi Panny w Siehniewiczach w diecezji pińskiej w świetle wizytacji z 3 października 1926 roku

Author(s): Waldemar Witold Żurek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 113/2020

The original parish church dedicated to the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Siehniewicze, in the Lutsk-Brest diocese, dates from the mid-sixteenth century. The masonry church was founded by Józef and Maria Prozorów in 1785. It was burned in 1915 by the Russians and then rebuilt in 1922, thanks to the efforts of Rev. Izydor Niedroszlański and those who supported him. In the Second Republic of Poland, the parish in Siehniewicze became part of the Pińsk diocese, which was established in 1925. The history of the church and the inventory of the church and the parish property were prepared for the canonical visitation of the parish in Siehniewicze, conducted 3 October 1926 by the ordinary bishop of the Pińsk diocese, Zygmunt Łoziński.

Kościoły rzymskokatolickie na Ukrainie Lewobrzeżnej (XІХ-ХХ wiek). Przegląd retrospektywny

Author(s): Lubow Żwanko / Language(s): Polish Issue: 113/2020

This article provides a short retrospective of the history of Roman Catholic churches in Left-Bank Ukraine in the 19th–20th century, from construction during the Russian Empire to their fate in the Soviet era. It also mentions the contemporary situation of churches in independent Ukraine. Firstly, the factors that caused the establishment of numerous Polish communities in the areas of Left-Bank Ukraine, i.e. in the Yekaterinoslav, Poltava, Kharkiv and Chernihiv Governorates, were analysed. Thanks to the efforts of local Poles 12 churches were built in this area, namely in: Chernihiv, Nizhyn, Poltava, Romny, Kremenchuk, Yekaterinoslav, Kamianske, Yenakiieve, Mariupol, Bakhmut, Kharkiv and Sumy. In the summary of the article it was pointed out that every church, since its consecration, had become a centre of life not only of the Polish community, but also a meeting place for Catholics of different nationalities. During the occupation of Ukraine by the Bolshevik army, the churches were closed and some of them demolished. Only a few temples have survived to our times. Today, they are important remnants of sacral architecture, decorating the centres of Ukrainian cities.

Czynniki przetargowe w zamówieniach na dokumentację projektową

Author(s): Agnieszka Leśniak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2014

The present study described a group of factors that may influence the decision to participate in a tender, when the subject of the order is the preparation of design documentation. The importance of the proposed factors was based on the opinions of designers who perform such services at the construction market. This analysis is followed by an assessment of the conformity of the opinions by means of the dispersion coefficient of relative ranking. The values of the dispersion coefficient of a relative classification differ considerably, from one another depending on the value under assessment. Yet, it is worth noticing that in the assessment of the factors influencing a bid/no bid decision, experts’ subjectivism cannot be avoided.
