Bogoslav Šulek (1816.-1895.) i njegovo doba

Author(s): Tomislav Markus / Language(s): Croatian

Poput mnogih drugih ljudi u XIX. stoljeću Bogoslav Šulek bio je izrazito svestran čovjek. Djelovao je prije afirmacije uske specijalizacije kao jedino «legitimnog» načina znanstvenog istraživanja. Pisao je o mnogim stvarima, od politike do botanike, od fizike i kemije do šumarstva, koje danas izgledaju bez međusobne veze. Smatram da je je uska specijalizacija učinila puno više štete nego koristi i da pravo znanstveno istraživanje treba biti interdisciplinarno, ne samo unutar humanističkih područja, već i uz njihovo povezivanje s naturalističkim – posebno biološkim i ekološkim – disciplinama. No, danas je jednostavno nemoguće ostvariti svestranost kakva je još bila moguća u XIX. stoljeću, posebno ako se želi izbjeći površnost i dilentatizam. Stoga je i ova monografija nejednaka u obradi pojedinih tema. Detaljnije su analizirana ona područja Šulekove djelatnosti s kojima je autor, po svojem obrazovanju odnosno povijesnim istraživanjima, familijarniji. To se, ponajprije, odnosi na Šulekovu političku djelatnost, odnosno njegove političke članke u novinskoj periodici. Detaljnije su obrađena i njegova sociološka shvaćanja, kao i tumačenja novih prirodo-znanstvenih teorija, posebno teorije evolucije. Kod nekih drugih tema, poput jezika ili botanike, morao sam se više oslanjati na literaturu. Svakako, i ovdje sam nastojao uzeti u obzir izvorne Šulekove stavove. Iz istog razloga kritičke su primjedbe navedene kod onih područja, kod kojih se osjećam kompetentnim da ih iznesem.

Zagrebački politički listovi 1848.-1850. godine : izabrani članci

Author(s): Tomislav Markus / Language(s): Croatian

Tekstovi zagrebačkih političkih listova iz razdoblja 1848.-1850. predstavljaju jedno od najvažnijih izvora za proučavanje tadašnjih političkih, vojnih, društvenih, privrednih i drugih zbivanja i procesa u Banskoj Hrvatskoj. U njima su dolazila do izražaja težnje, interesi i ciljevi hrvatskih javnih djelatnika, od pojedinaca, preko pojedinih interesnih grupa do hrvatskih državnih ustanova. Tadašnji listovi, jedini u sjevernoj Hrvatskoj, svjedoče o određenom stupnju razvitka političkog javnog mnijenja i moderne političke kulture u hrvatskom društvu u kojem su upravo tada, u proljeće 1848., ukinuti kmetski odnosi i provedenih izbori za prvi nestaleški Sabor. Novinski članci predstavljaju, doduše, sami po sebi, objavljen materijal, ali mogućnosti njegovog korištenje za historičare vrlo je ograničena, jer samo na jednom mjestu - u Nacionalnoj i sveučilišnoj knjižnici u Zagrebu - postoji cjelovito sačuvana zbirka svih tadašnjih listova. Iz tih razloga postoji, vjerujem, potreba da se donese izbor članaka iz tadašnjih listova, koji bi trebali pružiti, po mogućnosti, vjerodostojnu sliku kako o tadašnjim prilikama u Hrvatskoj, ali i o ljudima, koji su uređivali zagrebačke listove, odnosno surađivali u njima. Jedini dosadašnji izbor s tekstovima iz zagrebačkog tiska 1848.-1850. (Vaso Bogdanov, Hrvatska ljevica u godinama revolucije 1848-49 u svijetlu naše četrdesetosmaške štampe, Zagreb 1949) ne zadovoljava niti osnovne kriterije stručnog priređivanja građe, zbog mijenjanja pravopisa, fragmentarnog donošenja tekstova i to skoro isključivo iz Slavenskog Juga, s ciljem dokazivanja određenih interpretacija priređivača i izostavljanja tekstova iz većine listova (većim dijelom iz Novina dalmatinsko-hervatsko-slavonskih, a potpuno iz Agramer Zeitunga, Sudslawische Zeitunga i Jugoslavenskih novina).

Hungarian Culture and Politics in the Habsburg Monarchy, 1711–1848

Author(s): Gábor Vermes / Language(s): English

This book describes and analyzes the critical period of 1711–1848 within Hungary from novel points of view, including close analyses of the proceedings of Hungarian diets. Contrary to conventional interpretations, the study, stressing the strong continuity of traditionalism in Hungarian thought, society, and politics, argues that Hungarian liberalism did not begin to flower in any substantial way until the 1830s and 1840s. "Hungarian Culture and Politics in the Habsburg Monarchy" also traces and evaluates the complex relationship between Austria and Hungary over this span of time. Past interpretations have, with only a few exceptions, tilted heavily towards the Austrian role within the Monarchy, both because its center was in Vienna and because few non-Hungarian scholars can read Hungarian. This analysis redresses this balance through the use of both Austrian and Hungarian sources, demonstrating the deep cultural differences between the two halves of the Monarchy, which were nevertheless closely linked by economic and administrative ties and by a mutual recognition that co-existence was preferable to any major rupture.

Rod Thurzovcov a jeho miesto v aristokracii Uhorského kráľovstva

Author(s): Géza Pálffy / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

Bádanie o aristokracii Uhorského kráľovstva nepatrilo v Maďarsku v druhej polovici 20. storočia medzi preferované témy. S výnimkou Rakúska však to nebolo inak ani na Slovensku, dokonca ani v Chorvátsku či v Rumunsku, kde sa dodnes uchovávajú časti rodových archívov viacerých rodov, ktoré zohrali rozhodujúcu úlohu v dejinách krajiny. Kým za necelých sto rokov od druhej polovice 19. storočia bola o najznámejších rodoch vydaná celá rada monografi í a pramenných edícií (predovšetkým v maďarskom jazyku o rodoch Balassi, Batthyány, Csáky, Esterházy, Forgách, Illésházy, Nádasdy, Pálffy, Rákóczi, Thurzo a Zrínyi), od konca 40. rokov 20. storočia sa pozornosť bádateľov zamerala predovšetkým na hospodársku činnosť príslušníkov magnátskych rodov. V súvislosti s Thurzovcami treba spomenúť zásadné hospodársko-historické práce Petra Ratkoša a Mariána Skladaného zo Slovenska a Karen Lambrecht z Nemecka.

Jedálny lístok neskoršieho palatína Stanislava Thurzu, ako jediný zachovaný podobný prameň z obdobia raného novoveku, podrobili analýze už viacerí bádatelia, alebo ho využili vo svojich prácach so širším zameraním. Napriek tomu má tento prameň opodstatnenie aj v tejto publikácii, najmä z toho dôvodu, že na základe tohto jedálneho lístka môžeme získať viac informácií o stravovacích zvykoch Thurzovcov. Aj napriek tomu, že tento dokument je v podstate ukážkou stravovania len jedného člena rodu a len počas jedného mesiaca, predsa je tento už dobre známy jedálny lístok najvhodnejší na to, aby sme mohli vytvoriť podrobnejší obraz o stravovacích zvykoch na dvore Thurzovcov. V relatívne dobre zachovaných thurzovských archívoch sa nachádza množstvo hospodárskych dokumentov, a medzi nimi je množstvo takých, ktoré obsahujú aj údaje o stravovaní. Ich dôkladná analýza by však bola možná len v práci väčšieho rozsahu. Problémom je, že v mnohých prípadoch ani nevieme určiť, kde boli písomnosti vyhotovené, u ďalších ich zase nevieme datovať. Zoznamy nákupov alebo surovín, nakúpených pre potreby kuchyne, sa samy o sebe dajú len ťažko využiť, a tiež nie je jednoduché nájsť k nim ďalšie pramene viažuce sa k tej istej osobe a tomu istému času.

Vdovy ve šlechtické společnosti raného novoveku

Author(s): Pavel Král / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

In concordance with her biological function and social position, the woman in the early modern period underwent three basic states - virginity, matrimony and widowhood. Medieval society had the state of virginity in high esteem; however, this status was reserved only for chosen ones. The others were to live - unless they wanted to resist Christian morality - in matrimony, which had been gaining respect especially in the teaching of Protestant theologians since the beginning of the 16th century. The most contradictory category of womanhood was widowhood. Early modern widows were subjects to broad scale of public opinions and life opportunities that ranged from those of respect and freedom to those of derision and scorn. The most relevant work devoted to the fate of women was Vidua Christiana by Erasmus of Rotterdam, who wrote it for Maria Habsburg. Jan Kherner from Pilsen translated the book into Czech in 1595 and added many valuable domestic observations of the situation. How, according to Erasmus should a decent Christian widow behave? The house of a widow should be kept clean and tidy. He also meant that it should be spiritually pure and free of worldly joys. Management of the household and estates left to a widow by her late husband was considered as one of her most important duties. Danger came in the form of various greedy and mercenary men, for who widows represented frequent and easy prey. Great stress was put on a distinctive function of clothes. Noble women wore mourning clothes usually for couple of weeks, but there were widows who were in deep mourning until the end of their lives. In the same time, also theologians of the Union of Brethren dealt with social position of widows. In their Decrees they delineated ideal conduct of widows. For example, they were to be modest, wear plain clothes and pray regularly. Brother Lucas (Lukas), one of the leading figures of the Union from the beginning of the 16th century, distinguished two types of widows. Brothers from the Union community were supposed to take care of those over sixty, who should be supported by Union common money. The younger ones were expected to take care of themselves or they marry. Generally, however, Lucas was not in favour of the second marriage. Under the burden of his tragic life, Jan Amos Comenius wrote about the sad fate of widows and widowers in his work 0 sirobe (1634). His recommendations to widows included sexual abstinence, cautiousness in choosing a new husband and if possible, not to marry again. The Czech law deals explicitly with marital gifts in the marriage contracts. A marriage contract of a future husband and wife included provisions for the wife if the man should die first. Usually, men added one third of their property. Nevertheless, although the law was clear about the marital gifts, they were repeatedly neglected. The wording of marriage contracts was reflected also in last wills of nobles. Husbands would bequeath marital gifts to their wives and often more than that. They would also allocate a house or a residence in which their wives were to live after their deaths. Often these provisions were granted to women only until the time they remarried, though sometimes even to the end of their lives. A noble widow could retain her social and material status by being appointed a legal representative of her fatherless children and an administrator of her late husbands' property. In practice, it meant that the property was at a widow's free disposal without need of authorization from the land courts. For some young widows death of their husbands was a beginning of a new life stage. For the first time in their life they became seemingly and relatively independent and free to govern their own life. Whereas it was her father, brothers or tutors who decided about her future before she married or her husband after the wedding, a widow depended only on her financial means and public opinion. The position of noble widows was rather contradictory in the early modern period. On the one hand, a widow was protected by traditional Christian morality and law clauses and on the other, she had to cope with the negative image of widowhood created by contemporary moralists on the basis of a few specific cases. Sometimes the problems of inheritance division and coexistence would push a widow even to a court trial with her late husband's relatives.

Hospodárenie - netradičná úloha aristokratických žien v ranonovovekom Uhorsku

Author(s): Várkonyi Gábor / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

There have been few stereotypes in Hungarian historiography concerning the period of the Ottoman occupation or early modern period dating that originated mostly in the 19th century. Farkas Deák was one of the first historians who realized the importance of the sources for history of women and started using them. He published women's correspondence and wrote their biographies. He attempted to portray Hungarian aristocratic women as perfect faithful wives, loving and caring mothers, diligent housewives, good Christians and educated persons. This image is however the embodiment of an ideal woman from the author's times, that is the second half of the 19th century. In fact, the image was already archaic in the times when it was created. The author analyses and illustrates the notion of a 'diligent housewife' on the background of the social situation of the 17th century. Is it not an anachronism to talk about housewives in connection with aristocracy? The basic problem is to define the contents of the term 'women’s work’. Whereas the 'men’s work' is well defined and framed in time and space (e.g, politics or military service has concrete meaning), it is difficult to find a definition for 'women's work'. Women's work is something that men do not do. To simplify it, we can say that women's sphere is the family, household and child bearing.The archbishop of Esztergom Peter Pázmány, a great figure of the Catholic reform in the 17th century paid a special attention to education of Christian girls in his collection of sermons. Girls were supposed to learn how to spin, weave, embroider, tie nets, and lead a good, honest and useful life. The women were expected to sit at home, talk to God and - as a sign of their gratitude - to cook tasty dishes for their husbands. Other authors expressed the same opinion about house-hold duties as the proper occupation for women. Apart from the Pázmány‘s writings, there were other works dealing with education of girls and behaviour of women, for instance “Horologii principium” by Antonio Guevara published in Graz in 1610. A typical example of aristocratic estates managing women was Elizabeth Báthory. She was in charge of the Nádasdy‘s estates and when she defied some maltreatment of their property, she was just doing what contemporaries expected a woman in her position to do. She administered the estates and the household, protected the property of her late husband and took care of her subjects. Elizabeth Rákoczi, though not a widow as Elizabeth Báthory, was often left alone in charge of the family estates. She did not have a special training in estates management, but her education, practicality and experience made her an efficient manager. She was acquainted with inventories and tolls and was even familiar with efficient technological methods for agricultural production. In order to evaluate and analyse economic abilities and competence of Hungarian aristocratic women in the 17th century, more comparative case studies would be needed.

Violence on women is a problem deeply rooted in society, a phenomenon formed by power relations between the sexes as well as by social institutions. The idea of dominance of men had prevailed in most of societies and was reflected in their laws and customs. The attitude of men towards women has been always controversial, oscillating between attraction and loathe, fascination and hatred. The cause of many negative feelings was fear - stemming from ignorance and differences between sexes. Such conflicting feelings are present in biblical Judaism as well as in Greek and Roman classical literature. Later, Christian theologians as well as medical science contributed greatly to this process. Lawyers quoted the law to justify women's inferior status. In literature, women were either idealised or denounced.According to modern studies, there are four correlations that contribute to the occurrence of gender violence: 1.habit of violent solution of conflicts, 2. economic differences between men and women, 3. masculine ideal of dominance, 4. economic and decision-making authority of men in the family. The situation in the early modern Hungary was particularly critical. In the world with ubiquitous threat of losing one’s life, violence became a form of survival. It is in this light that the shift from traditional norms such as brotherly love, towards rough treatment and violence in interpersonal behaviour should be explained. Apart from physical aggression on women, there are other forms of behaviour, such as mental cruelty, humiliation in the public or enforced compliance with demands of the stronger that are classified as violent. Violent offenders were primarily a woman’s next of kin - husband, father, mother, siblings or other relatives - mainly her legal representatives, but also her own children or stepchildren. Apart from them, it was also officials, such as judges on all levels, who used or abused their power. Most violence happened at home. What was happening behind the closed doors of one’s home was considered to be one’s own business and there was usually no need of the intervention from outside. Sanctions against harming one’s wife were not explicitly stated in the law and therefore such cases would appear in court only occasionally, mostly when it led to a tragic end. The author tries to describe forms of violence, aggression and harm on women and ways of solving and addressing the problem according to contemporary mentality. Widespread defence against violence was magic. Women would contact a supposed witch or hex in order to find out how to make their men stop beating them. Sometimes magic was used as prevention against violence, right after wedding. Another way out was running away or separation. Catholic Church since the council of Trent recognized cruel treatment of women by their husbands as sufficient cause for separation, though only temporary. Neither was it easy to achieve separation or divorce in Protestant or in Reformed Churches. It is apparent from cases cited in the paper, that such solution was exceptional. Nevertheless, if a divorce petitioner was a prominent person who can afford to pay for it, their cases were treated more leniently, and not quite in line with the usual procedure, though even then the process was rather difficult. What was the position of a woman after divorce? According to Hungarian hereditary law, only few women were lucky to own such real estates that they could live on. A divorced or separated woman usually remained in ligam that means that she was not quite free until her ex-husbanďs death. One of the options was to go back to her parents J place or to other relatives, but it usually amounted to a servant-like position. Perhaps the only decent solution was to withdraw into the seclusion of a convent.There was no solution to the majority of cases of domestic violence, so women continued to suffer. Occasionally the family concerned about the public opinion would step in and try to resolve the conflict.

The law did not specify legal position of serf women in the modern period. It dealt only with serf men. Nevertheless, a serf woman as the head of a household or managing a farm was not an exceptional occurrence. Such women were subject to the same laws and customs as serf men. Similarly, they were restricted in their right to move away from the territory of their landlord. Women managing farms were usually widows. Some widows did not continue with managing the farm that belonged to their late husbands, but there were exceptions who would run the farm together with their sons and even those who took over all the duties and obligations connected to the management of the farm (corveé, taxes and in kind). Even if women succeeded in running a farm, it was not always advantageous for them. Their obligations to the landlord were not decreased if they had small children, though rearing children was time-consuming and obviously meant further duties. It was more advantageous for a widow to be a landless serf. Serfs of the same status were equal not only in their duties, but they were all equally punished for their possible offences and entitled to the same level of financial rewards for their agricultural work. A serf woman did not have much opportunity to decide freely about her life. She had to adjust to the customs and try not to violate them so she would not be excluded from the village community. In all the important matters, it was the landlord who wielded the clout.

This monograph examines how Polish authors writing in the first half of the nineteenth century described these European nations which in their opinion played a significant role in the history of Europe through the past centuries. The nineteenth century authors were convinced that in each of the consecutive historical epochs, typically it was one nation that due to different circumstances acquired special importance and directed a general development. Such prominent communities, via a number of missions entrusted upon them, became the "keepers of the history," playing different functions that often overlapped: they were defenders of freedom, promoters of art and civilization, leaders of economic changes, or initiators of intellectual growth.

Kryzysy i kompromisy w Stanach Zjednoczonych Ameryki czasów Ojców Założycieli

Author(s): Jolanta Alina Daszyńska / Language(s): Polish

The work discusses the issue omitted by American historians as the one that stands in the opposition to a vision of the United States being presented as a successful country especially after proclaiming a federal constitution in 1787. Although it prevented the break of a nation and made the Union stronger, numerous crises that took place after the war of independence still happened. What is worth mentioning, the USA were created due to the crisis that occurred between the British colonies and a metropolis. The said crises are on various occasions called in such a way to omit the word “crisis”, which for instance can be noticed while talking about the Rebellion of 1792, Whiskey Rebellion or John Fries Rebellion. Additionally, the treaties concluded are named after the people responsible for their creation and are believed to be a sign of a success of an American diplomacy. Some issues were not considered to be critical ones despite starting a crisis, like it was in the case of purchasing Louisiana. Crises occurred as a consequence of various factors – economic, political or constitutional ones. The last mentioned resulted from a different interpretation of the constitution with a special impact of the introduced rule of implied powers. A number of crises were solved, which was done thanks to the work of the presidents who were at the same time the Founding Fathers and who went to great lengths to create “a more perfect Union” (J. Madison). In fact, it is possible to talk about the expanding territory of the USA, the defended independence (in a war of 1812) and the increasing power of the country which started being so influential that it began imposing its politics on the rest of the world, which was manifested in the Monroe Doctrine. The constitution survived, crises ended and were not publicized.

Kulturno – historijski spomenici Banije s pregledom povijesti Banije od prapovijesti do 1881.

Author(s): Filip Škiljan / Language(s): Croatian

Područje Banije određeno je rijekama Savom, Unom i Kupom na sjeveru, istoku i jugu te granicom prema Bosni i Hercegovini na jugozapadu, dok je zapadna granica prema Kordunu sve do današnjih dana neodređena. Baniju na sjeveru rijeka Kupa dijeli od Pokuplja, na istoku je rijeka Sava dijeli od Posavine, a na jugu rijeka Una od Bosanske krajine. Granica Banije prema Kordunu mijenjala se tijekom stoljeća. Na jednoj karti iz 1806. godine granica Banije i Korduna bila je označena kao granica slunjske i glinske regimente, a ta je međa išla od Banske Selnice na rijeci Kupi, zapadno od Sjeničaka i Slavskog Polja, preko vrha Petrove gore do granice s Osmanlijskim Carstvom. Ista međa je ucrtana i na geološkoj karti I. banske regimente. Prema takvoj podjeli, koju i neki političari i znanstvenici smatraju i danas pravilnom, i područje nekadašanje općine Vrginmost, a danas općina Lasinja, Gvozd i Topusko, pripadalo bi području Banije. Osim toga, i istočni dio današnjeg područja grada Karlovca (Sjeničak) smatrao bi se Banijom. Ipak, prema podjelama koje su ustaljene nakon Drugog svjetskog rata, a prema kojima kotar Vrginmost pripada karlovačkom području, Kordun je proširio svoje granice na račun Banije sve do desetak kilometara zapadno od Gline, pa je banijskom kraju preostalo područje današnje Gline, Petrinje, Dvora, Sunje, Kostajnice, Dubice, Kukuruzara, Majura, južnog dijela gradskog područja Siska (Komarevo) i zapadnog dijela općine Jasenovac (sela Uštica, Višnjica i Tanac koja se nalaze između Une i Save u takozvanom "Trokutu").

Nakon pisanja o kulurno-historijskim spomenicima Korduna i Banije odlučio sam se za rad na obimnijoj temi, koja obuhvaća znatno veće područje. Knjiga koja je pred vama govori o kulturno- historijskim spomenicima zapadne Slavonije, kraja koji sam počeo istraživati još 2004. godine obilazeći spomenike oko Grubišnog Polja. U vrijeme svojeg rada u Spomen-području Jasenovac između 2003. i 2006. godine obišao sam spomenike u okolici Novske i Okučana, a nakon odluke da pišem o ovom području ciljano sam obilazio kulturno-historijske spomenike virovitičkog, pakračkog, slatinskog, daruvarskog i novogradiškog područja. Iznenađujuće je velik broj spomenika u ovom kraju. U katalogu, koji je glavni sadržaj ove knjige, nalazi se čak 536 lokaliteta. Obuhvaćeni su, kao i u prethodne dvije knjige, arheološki lokaliteti, srednjovjekovne utvrde, dvorci te pravoslavne i katoličke crkve. Kao ni u prethodnim dvjema knjigama nisam obrađivao antifašističke spomenike, koji bi svakako zaslužili posebnu publikaciju. Svjestan nedorečenosti i nekompletnosti prethodnih dviju knjiga, odlučio sam se potražiti pomoć prilikom pisanja ove nove knjige u lokalnim muzejima, konzervatorskim odjelima Ministarstva kulture i kod samih stanovnika zapadne Slavonije. Ovom prilikom se stoga posebno zahvaljujem na pomoći gospođi Kristini Zloušić iz Konzervatorskog odjela Ministarstva kulture u Zagrebu, gospodinu Žarku Španičeku u Konzervatorskom odjelu u Požegi, gospodinu Milanu Pezelju iz Konzervatorskog odjela u Bjelovaru, gospodinu Krešimiru Karlu iz Konzervatorskog odjela u Bjelovaru, gospođi Ivani Miletić iz Konzervatorskog odjela u Sisku, gospođi Željki Peroković iz Konzervatorskog odjela u Slavonskom Brodu, gospođi Dragici Šuvak iz Gradskog muzeja u Slatini, gospođi Silviji Salajić iz Gradskog muzeja u Virovitici, gospodinu Radi Bosancu iz Poljana, parohu gospodinu Luki Bosancu iz Daruvara, gospodinu Gojku Bosancu iz Brusnika, gospodinu Mladenu Kuliću iz Slatine, gospodinu Darku Derenju iz Lipika, gospođi Jeleni Hihlik iz muzeja u Pakracu, gospodinu Đorđu Mihoviloviću iz Nove Gradiške, gospodinu Slavku Čiči iz Slavonskog Broda, gospodinu dr. Đuri Zatezalu iz Karlovca, gospodinu Miroslavu Markovu iz Slavonskog Broda i brojnim drugim poznatim i nepoznatim Slavoncima koji su mi na mojim putovanjima pomagali da pronađem pojedine spomenike i da o njima doznam podatke.

Nowożytna kalendariografia Śląska do połowy XVIII wieku. Katalog

Author(s): Agata Bryłka-Jesionek / Language(s): Polish

This work concerns the problem of modern Silesian calendariography. The choice of source material was determined by two factors: territorial and temporal. What is the subject matter of this work with reference to the territorial factor, are exclusively calendar publications issued in Silesian printing houses. They include the printing houses in the provinces of Wrocław, Legnica, Brzesko, Kłodzko, Nysa, Opava and Kożuchów. As to the chronological frame, it is determined by the date of the issue of the oldest Silesian calendar print that preserved to the present day. It is the year of 1562, when the Polish-language print entitled “Dzienne sprawy wedlie Niebieskich Biegow ná rok Panski. 1563 […]“ (“Daily matters according to Celestial Cycles for Anno Domini 1563 […]”), edited by Kacper Goski of Cracow. The final frames of this work are determined by the mid-eighteenth century, when significant changes of political character took place. They were a consequence of Silesia getting under Prussian rule resulting from the Peace Treaty of Berlin signed in 1742, which was reinforced three years later by the Peace Treaty in Dresden. This resulted in transformations in the field of legislation, which also had an impact on the calendar publishing market (the so-called Kalender- Patent issued by Frederick II). In total, 78 titles of calendar prints, which comprise 250 annuals, have been collected and cataloged. Despite the rudimentary state of preservation, it should be concluded that Silesian calendar publications were, to a large extent, periodic prints. They were issued mostly in German, occasionally also in Latin and Polish. Calendar publications were not only the effect of the work of their editors and publishers, they were also a specific manifestation of reading activity. Due to the notes made on their cards, their individuality and uniqueness were revealed. They became the trustees of the reader’s thoughts, and thus they played an important role in his/her life. Silesian calendar publications played an important role in the process of nowadays social communication. On their pages, since around the mid-seventeenth century, there had been presented texts reflecting the current state of knowledge in the fields of, among others, running a farm, geography, history, biology, medicine, chronology and astronomy. The aim of the editors was therefore not only to propagate knowledge of a practical nature, but also to expand the readers’ cognitive horizons and satisfy their inquisitiveness about the surrounding world. Reading the calendar printing was also supposed to provide entertainment. The texts published on the calendar pages give evidence of a considerable knowledge of the latest research results, since there were presented the views of well-known and respected, both ancient and modern, authorities. They were also often accompanied by the editors’ own reflections and observations. The calendar publications we are interested in may serve as a kind of measure of ideological changes within communities living in the area of Silesia. Therefore, they can be considered as a manifestation of the changes in the outlooks on life characteristic for a given epoch. The presence of astrological contents in calendar publications may be associated with manifestations of Renaissance thought, and the overabundance of them seems to be close to the ideas of the Baroque era. The face of this type of prints underwent far-reaching transformations in the 18th century, along with the movement of the Enlightenment, since at this time, alongside prints of astrological character, there were also those containing information about everyday life. In this way, calendar publications tried to meet the needs of the reader, thus becoming a kind of ‘mirror’ of social tendencies. They were also to perform the propaganda function, to integrate the circle of recipients around certain ideas and preferred values. The modern calendariography of Silesia is a manifestation of certain trends and fashions functioning within the contemporary society, which is indicated by a comparative analysis of Silesian calendar publications and the ones issued in other typographic centres. The thematic scope of calendariography of particular epochs may be evidence not only of ideological influences, but also of the then mentality within a given society. The texts placed in the calendar publications were, to some extent, to satisfy the needs of an average reader, which undoubtedly was vital to the commercial success of particular titles. These publications played an integrating role, as they were addressed to a wide range of recipients. Within their framework, the first manifestations of democracy and the formation of a civil society may be observed.
