Introligatorstwo krakowskie pierwszej połowy XIX wieku w świetle dokumentów cechowych

Author(s): Elżbieta Pokorzyńska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2021

The archive documents of the Krakow Bookbinding Guild confronted with the legal acts in force allow us to examine the activity of the guild in the first half of the 19th century. At that time, the guild organisation still held a monopoly on the practice of crafts, and the poor economic condition of the city did not allow for the development of this trade. The number of members of the guild and bookbinding workshops was small, usually no more than ten, and the number of apprentices they employed was also small. In the majority of cases, the workshops were handed down from one generation to the next. In addition, the influx of foreign professionals and master’s qualifications to the guild was small, limited by high registration fees. At the same time, the Krakow bookbinding centre educated many students, and many apprentices from foreign centres arrived in the city

Drukowane dedykacje w XIX-wiecznej książce jako forma polecenia książki

Author(s): Anna Gruca / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2021

A printed dedication is usually addressed to a particular person. However, since it is included in every copy of the book, it reaches all readers. Its content, often expanded in the 19th century, provided a wealth of interesting information about the author, book and addressee. Many elements in dedications could encourage people to buy or read the books containing them. For example, authors of these dedications cited scientific authorities or mentioned the titles of works already known to readers. Sometimes dedications presented the content of the books or were related to them.

U dział młodzieży akademickiej w przedsięwzięciach bibliograficznych w okresie zaborów (druga połowa XIX i początek XX wieku)

Author(s): Alicja Matczuk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2021

In the second half of the 19th century and in early 20th century, one could observe an increase in the appearance of bibliographic studies initiated or prepared by Polish university students. This new form of bibliographic work was promoted by scientific societies, especially Czytelnia Akademicka – an association of young people studying at University of Lviv and Jagiellonian University. Created in the 1860s under the auspices of leading academics, it was further developed in scientific societies with bibliography-oriented profiles. Lviv pioneered quantitative and qualitative bibliographic projects and it was there, that the Historians Society, under the direction of Ludwik Finkel, created the fundamental Bibliography of Polish History, a basic scientific aid to historians, as well as Alexander Hirschberg’s Bibliography of Uprisings of the Polish People. It was there too that the first attempts were made to compile current bibliography in the field of literature and philosophy. Students at Jagiellonian University were also bibliographically active, although to a much lesser extent. For example, Franciszek Gawełek initiated and individually developed a Retrospective Bibliography of Polish Ethnography. Also, students of the Faculty of Imperial Law of the University of Warsaw (located in the Kingdom of Poland) contributed to Adolf Suligowski’s works on the Bibliography of Polish Law of 19th and 20th Centuries.

The Peace of Riga and the Recovery of Polish Literary Heritage

Author(s): Dorota Pietrzkiewicz / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2021

The Peace of Riga is considered by historians as one of the most important documents of the interwar period in Eastern Europe. It established the central belt of the western border of Russia, forced Marshal Józef Piłsudski to abandon plans to establish an Eastern European federation, which had an impact on the character of the recovering Republic, and sanctioned the borders and political system of Belarus and Ukraine. These issues have been considered by researchers, as reflected in the literature on the subject, but only a few papers discuss issues related to the restitution of book collections and archival documents. The purpose of the present article is to highlight the recovery of works of Polish literary heritage carried out under the Peace of Riga. It shows the involvement of the Polish scientific community in receiving manuscripts, prints (including incunabula), engravings, and archives of Polish provenance from Russian institutions. Today, the confiscated Polish manuscripts and prints that could not be recovered under the Peace of Riga are subject to the international cooperation of librarians from Warsaw and St. Petersburg

Author(s): Leszek Zinkow / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2021

The early Polish magazine for women, Tygodnik Mód i Powieści [Fashion and Novels Weekly], published from 1862–1915, devoted some space to the history of culture, issues of scientific progress, travels, and descriptions of foreign countries. This paper discusses texts referring to the matters of the ancient Near East as published in that journal. It includes a review and analysis of press materials examining various threads on this heritage such as notes, reviews, announcements, articles, digressive travel reports, fiction, etc. These are presented in the context of the specific kind of press and former understanding of 19th century women’s intellectual needs. The research was categorized into decade-long sequences. The more important or characteristic publications are synthetically discussed.

Prasa w debacie parlamentarnej w świetle Sprawozdań Stenograficznych z Posiedzeń Sejmu Ustawodawczego (1919–1922) oraz Sprawozdań Stenograficznych z Posiedzeń Sejmu Rzeczypospolitej (1922–1939): projekcja badań, wstępne ustalenia

Author(s): Grażyna Wrona / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2021

The basic research assumption of this article is that the theme of the press, together with its derivative forms, was present in the statements of politicians that were given during the parliamentary debates of the interwar period, and related to the multi-threaded panorama of the most important events constituting the history of this period. These topics appeared in a specific and identifiable context, and through their diversity they presented, from the perspective of the Sejm tribunes, the complexity of the political, social, economic, and cultural problems of interwar Poland. Therefore, when studying these texts, it is first necessary to consider how to decipher them, before moving on to determine the intensity of their occurrence and to establish the relationship between the participants of communication, and finally to identify the direct addressee. In fact, the topic of each speech was related to its main illocution. The source material for this research project will be the Transcripts of the Sittings of the Legislative Sejm (1919–1922), which was formed in February 1919, and the Transcripts of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland (1922–1939).

Cenzura prasy partyjnej na przykładzie „Gazety Pomorskiej” z lat 1949 –1950

Author(s): Wanda Ciszewska-Pawłowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2021

Gazeta Pomorska, the press organ of the Provincial Committee of the Polish United Workers’, Party in Bydgoszcz, is an example of the party’s press closely related to a political grouping. The journal was created in 1949 as a result of merging local Pomeranian magazines: Głos Pomorza from Toruń and Gazeta Zachodnia from Bydgoszcz. The subject of the new periodical referred to the nature of the previous magazines. The novelty was the close connection with party issues. Censorship assessments of Gazeta Pomorska prepared by the Provincial Office of Control of Press, Publications and Shows (WUKPPiW) in Bydgoszcz in 1949 are not as enthusiastic as they would expect for a periodical related to the party in power. Their character and tone depend, among others, on the guidelines presented at the meetings of the party’s press editors, organized by the Press and Publishing Department of the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers’ Party (Wydział Prasy i Wydawnictw KC PZPR).

Sposoby wizualizacji kartograficznej w czasopiśmie „Poznaj Swój Kraj” w latach 1958–1989

Author(s): Michał Rogoż / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2021

Cartographic presentations were an important part of the Poznaj Swój Kraj magazine since its first issue in 1958. During more than 30 years of publishing the magazine in the Polish People’s Republic, 577 maps and cartographic studies were published, differing both in format and by degree of graphic sophistication. The maps mostly covered regions of Poland while their distribution reflected to a large extent the attractiveness of specific areas for the needs of qualified tourism. City plans began to be published on a larger scale from the mid1970s, which was connected to the decentralisation of administration at the provincial level, as well as to a change in the magazine’s publisher. The liberalisation of censorship with regard to geo-information also had some impact. The cartographic studies did not only deal with strictly tourism-related issues, but also pursued a broader thematic scope describing various natural and economic phenomena from a territorial perspective. In fact, this was a common template for tourist and travel literature, with less practical content and more propaganda. In addition to the thematic profile, this paper analyses the typical elements that comprise the content of maps published in the magazine, such as the presence of scale, compass rose, the key, elevation model representation, etc.

„Awizów przy naszym dworze bardzo jest mało”1 . Ks. Tomasz Perkowicz SJ (1652–1720) jako korespondent Anny Franciszki Zamoyskiej, podskarbiny koronnej. Studium z dziejów obiegu informacji w czasach saskich

Author(s): Bożena Popiołek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 18/2020

The mass character of various manuscripts at the beginning of the 18th century made them an important communication medium and contributed to the rapid circulation of information. The care for obtaining reliable knowledge in the shortest possible time prompted the recipient of news to look for a medium that would deliver the news directly from the scene of the events or be processed little enough to give the impression of being real. One of the most important information media in the Saxon times was handwritten news, which played a significant role not only in disseminating knowledge about the world but also in creating a certain image of reality. However, attention should be paid to the specific type of communication in the handwritten media of this period, which allowed for many false, misleading, or deliberately prepared news in such a way as to create an appearance of reliability. This useless and even harmful knowledge, the purpose of which was to disinform its recipients, was an excellent political weapon in various strives and plots. The unstable political situation in the Polish Republic at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries favoured the dissemination of prepared news. The aim of these efforts was to perpetuate erroneous beliefs about the conduct of the main actors of certain events.

Author(s): Tadeusz Budrewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 17/2019

The article discusses popular lectures that Stanisław Tarnowski gave in Krakow, Lviv, Poznań and Warsaw in the years 1870–1901. Tarnowski gave many lectures in 1876–1896. He was a capable orator, crowds came to his lectures. Thanks to Tarnowski, the organizers of the lectures had large profits, which they allocated for charity and education. The subject of the readings was most often the literature of Romanticism and the Renaissance. Tarnowski used the readings to present views of the conservative orientation he represented. The ideological competitors - Democrats - agreed with the speaker on many issues regarding the methods of researching literature and its connections with the social and political life of the nation. Bottom line: Popular readings were a form of knowledge dissemination and civic deed in the second half of the 19th century.

Stanisław Tarnowski jako badacz dziejów myśli politycznej

Author(s): Krzysztof Koehler / Language(s): Polish Issue: 17/2019

The author tries to describe in the article the research method of Stanisław Tarnowski presented in his fundamental dissertation: Studies to the History of Polish Literature. Political writers of the 16th century. The work was published in 1886 and it contained strong references to the current research methodologies. As it turns out, Tarnowski opposes contemporary „scientism” (or, after MacIntyre, „encyclopedism”). He emphasizes his emotional approach, pointing to a strongly utilitarian understanding of reading passion. The category of „who harmed and who did not harm” Poland is at the same time an absolutely individual research perspective, which should perhaps be included in the romantic convention of historical literary research. The author points out that although this research perspective is very anachronistic today, it brings unexpected and very interesting readings of political texts from the 16th century, thanks to which Tarnowski’s fundamental work still has great cognitive potential.

Od „Gazety Automobilowej” do „Czasopisma Automobilowego”… – narodziny polskiej prasy motoryzacyjnej

Author(s): Adam Bańdo / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2018

Automotive press in Poland has a long tradition reaching to the times of partitions. The first Polish automotive periodical to appear was “Gazeta Automobilowa” (Automobile Gazette), appearing in Lviv for only a few months in 1911. Another, equally short-lived magazine appeared in Krakow under the name “Czasopismo Automobilowe” (Automobile Magazine, 1920-1921). The article is devoted to these two little-known and unique periodicals.
