W 2012 r. Codex Aureus Gnesnensis nazywany Złotym Kodeksem pochodzący z Archiwum Archidiecezjalnego w Gnieźnie (obiekt z syg. „BK Ms 1a”) został zbadany przez grupę pracowników naukowych z Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu. Kodeks został wykonany na pergaminie, bogato iluminowany, blok oprawiono w drewniane deski i skórę, a dekoracyjne elementy metalowe zostały dosztukowane do oprawy. Wszystkie główne rodzaje materiałów / substancji poddano badaniom: elementy metalowe, deski drewniane, skórę, pigmenty i spoiwa, pergamin, wytwory papiernicze, materiały tekstylne, materiały użyte do napraw. Nacisk położono również na badanie zniszczonych miejsc i produktów degradacji materiałów. Zastosowano różne metody badań w celu scharakteryzowania materiałów z których składa się obiekt. Były to: A). metody nieinwazyjne: obserwacje w świetle VIS, rentgenografia (RTG), reflektografia w świetle UV, fluorescencja wzbudzona promieniami UV, reflektografia w bliskiej podczerwieni, fluorescencja rentgenowska (XRF), fourierowska spektroskopia absorpcyjna w podczerwieni (FTIR-ATR), kolorowa podczerwień, pH wytworów papierniczych; B). mikroniszczące badania próbek: fluorescencja rentgenowska, badania obrazu próbek w mikroskopach optycznych (VIS, PL, UV), badania z użyciem skaningowego mikroskopu elektronowego ze spektrometrem rentgenowskim (SEM/EDX), fourierowska spektroskopia absorpcyjna w podczerwieni, kolorowa podczerwień, chromatografia gazowa (GC), badanie temperatury skurczu włókien kolagenowych (MHT), identyfikacja włókien wytworów papierniczych i tekstylnych (obserwacja cech morfologicznych, odczynniki – Hezrzberga i Schweizera), wykrywanie ligniny w produktach papierniczych (floroglucyna), identyfikacja substancji organicznych (zmydlanie, test na hydroksyprolinę, ninhydryna, czerń sudanowa, zieleń malachitowa, czerń amidowa). Przeprowadzono także badania mikrobiologiczne (nieniszczące: ATP, identyfikacja owadów; mikroniszczące: obserwacje próbek mikroorganizmów pod mikroskopem optycznym). Badania pozwoliły na określenie czasu powstania wszystkich elementów kodeksu oraz przygotowanie programu prac konserwatorsko-restauratorskich i ich realizację.In 2012 Codex Aureus Gnesnensis called the „Gold Codex” from the Archdiocesian Archive of Gniezno (item „BK Ms 1a”) was investigated by scientific workers from the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. The codex was made on parchment, reachly illuminated, block covered with wooden boards and leather, and decorative silver elements were set to the cover. All basic elements and substances of the object were investigated: metal elements, wooden boards, leather, pigments and binders, parchment, paper products, textile materials, materials used for reparation. Attempts were also put on investigation of degradation products of materials and decayed areas. Several methods applied to characterise meterials the object consists of. They were as follows: A). non-invasive methods: observation in ViS light, rentgenography (RTG), reflectography in the UV light, UV induced fluorescence, NIR reflectography, X-ray fluorescence, FTIR spectroscopy, False IR analysis, pH measure of paper products, B). microdestrucive analyses on samples: X-ray fluorescence, observation of morphological features under optical microscopes (VIS, PL, UV), SEM with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX), FTIR spectroscopy, False IR analysis, gas chromatography, collagen shrinkage temperature (MHT), fiber identification of paper products and textiles (morphological features, Herzberg stain, Schweizer reagent), lignin detection in paper products (phloroglucin), microchemical identification of organic substances (saponification test, hydroxyroline test, ninhydrin, sudan black, malachite green, amido black). Also the microbiological investigations were performed (nondestructive: ATP, insects identification; microdestructive: observation of sampled microorganisms under optical microscope). Results of investigations allowed dating of parts of the codex as well as realisation of the conservation-restoration project.

Ludwik Bronarski’s Journals (1890-1975) can be found in the Archives of the Polish Catholic Mission in Marly near Fribourg in Switzerland. Their author spent most of his life in Switzerland. After studying Music History in Vienna (1913), Ludwik began to work on a doctoral thesis devoted to the songs of Hildegard of Bingen in Fribourg in Switzerland. He stayed abroad till the end of his life. L. Bronarski undertook various jobs to earn his living, he also promoted Polish culture and literature. He was an editor in encyclopaedia publisher "La Pologne 1919-1939". In addition, he cooperated with Publications encyclopédique sur la Pologne. On the initiative of Ignacy Jan Paderewski he prepared a critical edition of the works of Frederic Chopin (ed. 1949-1961).Due to the outbreak of the war and the family situation, he did not continue further academic work at university. As a scholar Ludwik Bronarski is mostly known thanks to his publications on the works of Fryderyk Chopin (Harmonika Chopina, Études sur Chopin and Chopin en l’Italie). He was a patriot and a pious man. He, together with his brother Alfons, supported the initiative of the foundation of the Polish Catholic Mission, to which they donated the house, family archives and a rich collection of books. The Polish Catholic Mission in Marly, a town located near Fribourg, has existed since 1950. The preserved Ludwik Bronarski’s Journals present the daily life of the family, current events, including the exceptional ones, for example, Henryk Sienkiewicz’s funeral and a meeting with I.J. Paderewski.

Among the schematisms stored in the Archdiocesan Archive in Gniezno (these are prints prepared for the Archdiocese of Gniezno, other Polish and foreign Roman Catholic dioceses, and religious orders) are three elenchus reports produced for the Catholic Churches of the Eastern rites, existing in the former Eastern Borderlands. Two of them relate to the organization of the Greek Catholic Church: Archdiocese of Lviv (1858) and the Diocese of Stanisławów (1938), while the third one presents the structure and operation of the Armenian Archdiocese of Lviv before the outbreak of World War II (1939). All of those prints, in their structure and content, resemble schematisms prepared for the Roman Catholic Church. They are thus valuable sources from which we can learn about history, political system, organization, and people working in different institutions and parishes of the Greek Catholic Church and the Armenian Church in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The famous notes in the Bible of Płock are the oldest documented written texts created on the Polish territory. A great deal of false information which grew up around them was repeated by the next generations of historians without proper research. First, there is no indication that, according to Berhson, the cards 239v and 240R-v in the Bible of Płock were left blank, where later our notes were made. Secondly, the notes of the miracles and the liturgy of the cathedral were not made in the margins of the Code, which is often incorrectly presented in different studies, but in two columns, like the text of the Bible before and after them. The notes of the miracles were made by the same scribe, but in a different handwriting than the entire Code: either the Code was created in 1148 and the notes of the miracles were added later or the Code was created at the same time when the miracles happened and the notes were included at the time of writing the Code or the Code was created later and the notes were also added later. There are many indications that the notes of the miracles were included during the preparation of the Code. In any case, the Code was probably created in 1148 or about that date and a vivid description of the miracles seems to indicate that the notes were made shortly after the events themselves, or after 15 August 1148 or early 1149. The first miracle was the healing of a woman, named Wojuchna, of paralysis on the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on 15 August 1148, and the other one concerned the relics placed in an ostrich egg under the ceiling of the Cathedral of Płock and saving them miraculously when they fell down. Since the notes were not made in the margins the Code, but placed in a string of columns of the biblical text which was copied then, it confirms clearly that the Bible of Płock was copied in the local scriptorium. This means that in the middle of the twelfth century there existed a scriptorium in Płock, where biblical and liturgical books were copied for the cathedral liturgy and the local school. The notes were probably made by order of the then Bishop of Płock, Alexander of Malonne and it is possible that they were made by the director of the scriptorium, mentioned in the first note-Azo, though due to missing elements, it cannot be confirmed. The other note mentioning a scholar Zacharias confirms the existence of a school attached to the Cathedral in Płock in the middle of the twelfth century.

The data of our research examined the possibility of establishing some inter-conditioning between the symbolic violence and the level of objective violence found in schools. The indicators through which I have examined the level of symbolic violence (inequity, non-inclusive school environment, marginalization, authority in knowledge building) vary depending on the level of objective violence, which supports the hypothesis that symbolic violence enables physical (objective) violence among the groups of students.

In the last few years on the book market there are more and more philosophical books intended for children, or at least ‘philosophising’. A large part of the publication of this type are picturebooks, using an image as the main carrier of information. In this article we will try to answer the question whether the adoption of such a convention – it is constructing content based not only on the text, but also as a significant image (sometimes made by the same person) can be helpful with these ‘unspeakable’ concepts. How authors and illustrators are trying to present the most general and the most difficult is-sues? Whether the use of the image would be helpful in this case, or what ‘unspeakable’ is also unillustrateable’?

The last twenty five years in the history of Poland was not only a period of turbulent political changes, but also a time of profound social metamorphosis. As a result of the opening on western culture influence, in a relatively uniform society new movements and cultural phenomena began to form. One of them, founded around 1995, was the subculture of manga and anime fans (lovers of Japanese comics and animated films). This article presents the history of the Lodz faction of this subculture, from its origins to the period of greatest prosperity. Most focus is placed on activities of local groups of East Asian popculture enthusiasts with full list of their meetings that took place in Lodz region. The text also describes the controversy surrounding the popularization of Japanese comics and animated films.

An important role in the education and upbringing of students of Galician schools in the early 20th century was played by reading rooms and students’ scientific clubs. The students’ organisation called “Students’ Reading Room” was home to scientific and cultural activity. What began as a place which hosted a collection of books and magazines gave rise to scientific and art clubs, and these played a great role in the process of self-education. Under the guidance of teachers, students were able to expand their knowledge and gather new information by studying the library collections. At a higher level they were encouraged to refer to more specialized literature. Thus, these organisations contributed to developing interests and shaping literary trends among young students. Another aspect of the cultural activity of reading rooms was amateur theatrical performances staged on different occasions.
