Детството на страниците на периодичния печат на българското малцинство в Централна Европа

Author(s): Elena Krejčová / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1-2/2016

The study presents the periodical press of the Bulgarian minorities in Central Europe (in Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary) and focuses on the theme of childhood (mainly from the point of view of schoollife), presented in the titles of the researched magazines. The analysis reveals that the vernacularization of language and the emotion from the everiday communicative sphere influenced the press shortening the distance between the writer and the audience. The topic of children and childhood with especial emphisis on the education and Bulgarian schools was actual and attractive topic for the periodical press of the Bulgarian minorities and the authors of publicistic texts used different stylistic means to attract the atention of the reading audience.

RAZVOJ OTORINOLARINGOLOGIJE U SRBIJI

Author(s): Momčilo Pavlović,Jasmina Milanović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2016

This work explores and reassesses important dates and events in the development of Otorhinolaryngology in Serbia. In the light of new research and gathered data, some of the widely accepted hypothesis on the founding the first Ear, Throat and Nose Department have been changed. The genesis of the first department and its transformation first into a subject and then into a department once again was given according to new archival research. The research on the establishment of the Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic is especially interesting, since there are three different founding years mentioned and until now, it hasn’t been precisely determined which one of those is the right one. Based on many sources, archives and extensive literature, authors have tried to determine the basic facts on the development of Ear, Throat and Nose in the Kingdom of Serbia, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, SFRY and Republic of Serbia.

Author(s): Livia Magina / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 23/2015

Real estate transactions provide various information, especially when it comes to urban space. Through the information contained in 62 acts belonging to the urban authority of Caransebeş during 1515-1652, one can observe the trend of buying properties and their price development (price for houses and places of houses, meadows, mills, vineyards, fields, vacant land) within this urban center located on the outskirts of the Principality of Transylvania. Information on transactions reveal a possible urban geography and highlighting social group or urban nobility involved heavily in buying real estate in the city.

Noi perspective asupra relațiilor dintre mănăstiri și orașe: cazul mănăstirii Sf. Ioan Zlataust din Iași

Author(s): Laurenţiu Rădvan / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 23/2015

This study will continue to investigate the relations between monasteries and towns, by using an applied research approach, relevant for how monasteries influenced towns, and especially their population. The town in this case is Iași, one of the oldest urban settlements in Moldova, which had become the main seat of the country in the 16th century. The monastery is St John Chrysostom (known until today as Zlataust), with an unclear origin and a tortuous evolution. Around 1800, the relations between the monastery and the town were fraught with tension, and this gives the researcher opportunity for a complex evaluation, with compelling social and economic insights. Based on donations made by the rulers, the St. John Chrysostom monastery came to possess, in the 18th century, a huge tract of land, which spanned the eastern and southern edges of the town of Iași. Discontent that they had to pay rent (bezmen) to the monks for the places they owned, the inhabitants of the Tătărași and Broșteni neighbourhoods (mahala) brought the monastery to trial. The archives have preserved several documents related to this trial, which paint a miniature of the local universe, with inhabitants whose lives and pursuits were affected by the monastery's interests. These documents are also an important human inventory, that benefits us by completing the data in censuses of that specific period.

Stemele şi drapelele satelor Bălceana, Buţeni, Fârlădeni, Mingir şi Sărata-Galbenă (raionul Hânceşti)

Author(s): Silviu Andrieș-Tabac / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 5/2013

The region of Hânceşti has been very auspicious to the development of the national heraldry, the local authorities being among the pioneers and leaders in promoting the territorial heraldic and vexillological symbols. The district (rayon) of Hânceşti was one of the first to establish both a coat of arms and a flag in 2004. The town of Hânceşti adopted his complete coat of arms and also an impressive municipal flag in 2000. The village of Lăpuşna, a beautiful medieval city and the residence of the homonymous district, finalized its symbols in 1999, becoming the first village of the Republic of Moldova to have a coat of arms and a flag officially registered. In the last years, five villages of this district have adopted their regular coats of arms and flags: Mingir in 2006, Fârlădeni in 2008, Sărata-Galbenă in 2010, Buţeni in 2013 and Bălceana in 2014. Elaborated by the author and the painters Iurie Caminschi and Mariana Şlapac, the achievements of these villages, as well as the coat of arms of the same district (foremost instituted), are illustrating the efforts of the National Committee of Heraldry for the development of the traditional European heraldry – following a tradition attested in the Principality of Moldavia during the Middle Ages.

The Towns of Drohobycz and Roman in the Work of Bruno Schulz (1892–1942) and Max Blecher (1909–1938)

A Study in Local History, Personal Geograph and Jewish Identity at the Peak of Modernity

Author(s): Raluca Elena Golesteanu / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2016

The present paper focuses on the case of two small cities located in Central and Eastern Europe, in the vicinity of regional capitals or places of political symbolism, like Lwów for The Kingdom of Galicia and Suceava for The Duchy of Bukovina, that were later incorporated in the newly-establishedPolish and Romanian states. Apart from tackling their peculiar ethnic, social, and cultural status, as well as their entanglement with modernization, I will consider how these cities, Drohobycz and Roman, are depicted through the eyes of two of their faithful citizens, the uncommonly gifted short story writer and drawer Bruno Schulz, and the precocious poet and writer Max Blecher.

Rękopisy Józefa Muczkowskiego w zbiorze autografów z XIX wieku należących niegdyś do Cypriana Walewskiego

Author(s): Barbara Krawczyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 66/2016

The aim of this article is to sketch a portrait of Józef Muczkowski, who was a historian, a collector and also director of the Jagiellonian Library. It begins with a short account of the lives of Cyprian Walewski and Kazimierz Władysław Wójcicki and on their relations with Józef Muczkowski. It also presents Muczkowski’s manuscripts, which are part of Cyprian Walewski’s nineteenth-century collection of manuscripts held by the Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow. Among these manuscripts are five of Muczkowski’s handwritten letters, his autobiography with a list of publications, one letter written by Józef’s son Stephan Muczkowski and also Józef Muczkowski’s printed obituary notice. The author of the article has employed two methodologies, the first of which – being analytical and critical – shows the purpose and originality of the research, while the second – being historical – allows us to determine the accuracy and authenticity of the source itself.

Polonika w księgozbiorach bibliotecznych dominikanów w Gidlach, Łęczycy, Łowiczu, Piotrkowie Trybunalskim i Sieradzu w XVI–XVIII wieku

Author(s): Tomasz Stolarczyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 66/2016

In the libraries of the Dominican monasteries in Gidle, Łęczyca, Łowicz, Piotrków Trybunalski and Sieradz there were 54 polonica: 16 works in the library in Gidle, 2 in Łęczyca, 6 in Łowicz, 4 in Piotrków and 26 in Sieradz. This amounted to about four per cent of all the volumes held by these Dominican libraries, as can be proved on the basis of the library inventories in the Archive of the Polish Province of Dominicans in Cracow, the Diocesan Archive in Włocławek as well as on the basis of the ex-Dominican book collections held by the University Library in Warsaw, the Library of the Higher Theological Seminary in Włocławek and the Library of the Dominican College of Philosophy and Theology in Cracow.

Inwentarz księgozbioru Wiktorii z Scheillów Wendorffowej jako przykład spisu biblioteczki ziemiańskiej z pierwszej połowy XIX wieku

Author(s): Wiktor Z. Łyjak,Katarzyna Polityło,Izabela Zlot / Language(s): Polish Issue: 66/2016

This article concerns the manuscript inventory of the book collection of Wiktoria z Scheillów Wendorffowa, which was written according to an extant will. It is an example of the inventory of a nineteenth-century library belonging to a Polish landed gentry family and which is to be found together with other notarial deeds. The list of 222 books has been reconstructed and has briefly analysed. The entries in the manuscripts have been completed with the bibliographical descriptions of particular recovered items and consist of the following elements: author, title, place and year of publication, access online (optional). This reconstruction has led to conclusions concerning both the size and value of the library as well as the subjects of the books. It also allows us to reflect on how useful posthumous inventories of private libraries are for bibliological research.

Xiąszka ta: liczbę Rzymskich maiąca Papieży […], czyli Pontificium doctum […] Georga von Eggsa i jego kolejni właściciele

Author(s): Jacek Partyka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 66/2016

This article contains the description of a hand-written, rhymed acrostic from the Jagiellonian Library copy of an early printed book – Pontificium doctum by Georg Joachim von Eggs (1663–1755) – which was published in Cologne in 1718. One of the first owners of this print, Rev. Kazimierz Maciej Szaniawski – a parish priest in Rzezawa (in the Małopolska region of Poland) – wrote an autobiographical acrostic on the fly-leaf in 13-syllable verse, in which he hid his name and also included his own cursus honorum, i.e. a short history of his life up to 1759, when he was made a parish priest. The author of the article also tries to identify the owners of the print which contains the acrostic and to establish the sequence of ownership.

Staropolskie varia biograficzno-chronologiczne z nowożytnych źródeł proweniencji kościelnej (uzupełnienie do kompendiów bio-bibliograficznych i herbarzy)

Author(s): Krzysztof R. Prokop / Language(s): Polish Issue: 66/2016

The present publication is a compilation of excerpts from Old Polish church sources which bring us new information and details about the biographies of members of the upper classes of Polish society at that time, i.e. kings, magnates, the higher clergy and also – to some extent – religious communities. These addenda – concerning the lives of several hundred people – would seem to be of use to prosopographical research, especially in the continuation of work on such important publications as The Polish Biographical Dictionary, The Polish Bibliography and The Officials of the Early Republic of Poland and chronological lists of the members of old Polish chapter houses. Notwithstanding the fact that the present publication is only a minor contribution, there can be no doubt as to its value, given that such information is often found by accident but is hardly ever actually searched for, though its absence in research has obvious negative consequences. The present sources come from Church and State archives in Częstochowa, Drohiczyn, Gdańsk, Gnieźnie, Kraków, Lublin, Olsztyn and Warsaw, as well as from the library of the former abbey of the Canons Regular of the Lateran in Czerwińsk. They have been provided with adequate critical notes and with references to the most essential compendia concerning genealogy and heraldry as well as to the aforementioned biographical and bibliographical publications.

Patriotyczna młodzież Zjednoczonego Stronnictwa Narodowego oraz Związku Walczącej Polski represjonowana przez władze stalinowskie – Młodociani Więźniowie Polityczni Łagru Jaworzno

Author(s): Robert Mieczkowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2016

The subject of my interest in this paper are repressions against students during the formation of the communist system in Poland in the years 1951-1956. This analysis is based on the history of two organizations:”Zjednoczone Stronnictwa Narodowe” (United National Organization) and “Związek Walczącej Młodzieży” (Association of Fighting Youth), biographies of prisoners and the history of Jaworzno camp – a progressive prison for juveniles in Jaworzno. Many young people, students from Polish junior high schools and high schools, were sent to prisons due to their involvement in patriotic activities in many organizations and struggle for independence. The aim of the imprisonment was to carry out their re-education in accordance with the requirements of the communist political system. One of the main goals of communism was to negate their deepest values, such as: Catholic faith, patriotic desire to build a sovereign Polish state independent of Moscow. As the result of their conflict with the communist authorities caused by their patriotic attitude many young people ended up in Jaworzno camp. Biographies of Józef Poteraj (born in 1934) and Marek Eminowicz (1933-2013) are of particular interest in this study.

Kasata klasztoru bernardynów w Piotrkowie Trybunalskim i jego rewindykacja

Author(s): Aleksander Krzysztof Sitnik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2016

A Bernardine Friary in Piotrków was founded by Florian Starczewski in 1625. It belonged to Kujawy-Kalisz Diocese till 1818 and since 1920 it has belonged to Łódź Diocese. Till 1628 it was in the Wielkopolska Bernardine Province and since 1920 in the Polish Province. In 1864 tsar's authorities closed down the friary because of the friars' involvement in the so called “January Uprising”. They were taken to the appointed Bernardine Friary in Warta. Quite a few of them decided to secularize. With the closing of the Friary philosophical studies closed down in Piotrków Trybunalski. Only a few Bernardine students managed to finish theological studies and be ordained. After the Friary closing down its buildings as well as the church fell into ruin. In 1922 Kujawy-Kalisz bishop Stanisław Zdzitowiecki allowed Bernardine Friars to reclaim Piotrków Friary and the church.
