A Brief Overview of Scientific and Publicistic Writings of Major Archbishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Josyf Slipyi

Author(s): Mariia Proniuk / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

This paper presents the analysis of the writings of Archbishop Josyf Slipyi (1892–1984). All of them were collected, systematized, and published during 1968–2003 by his close collaborators – Ivan Khoma, Ivan Yatsiv, Yurii Fedoriv, and Ivan Muzycka. The title of this work is “Opera Omnia Josephi (Slipyi-Kobernyckyj-Dyčkovskyj) archiepiscopi maioris”. Today, we have eighteen volumes of scientific works, sketches, reviews, monographs, travel notes and articles. All of them were previously published in various editions. In the article, we divide them into two blocks. The first part is the writings of the first period of Josyf Slipyi’s activity. Most of them have theological content. The other part is the texts with different objectives: the philosophical and theological dimension, the history of dogmas, the history of ecclesiastical culture, and the historical essays: pedagogical, biographies and articles. The author deals with different themes in daily life. The value of Josyf Slipyi’s writings is the possibility of understanding the situation of his time. His suggestions remain current even today, not only for the ecclesial hierarchy but also for all Christians. Archbishop Josyf worked hard all his life for the Church’s and his homeland’s good. He had a broad vision and never focused on working in a specific direction, but he cared about providing a wide range of spiritual, material and cultural needs of Ukrainians and then in the Diaspora. He left a valuable legacy to his descendants, particularly in his scientific works.

Prin Gorjul bisericilor de lemn (I)

Author(s): Daniel Șuvăială,Alexandru Iorga / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 23/2023

In 2023, the Association of Wooden Churches, in partnership with several institutions, including the Ethnographic Museum of Moldavia, continued the research on wooden churches, this time in the Western area of Gorj county. For a more complete picture of the environment in which these edifices are found, together with specialists in architecture, painting, restoration, history and documentation, a team dedicated to socio-anthropological research was established, one of the goals being the identification in communities of the elements related to traditional culture, especially those related to the respective churches and the space in which they are located. At this historical stage, some of these churches only retain a funeral role (directly or only through the place where they are found – in cemeteries or in their vicinity), so the main focus of the research was in the direction of identifying the rites and customs in this field within the communities they belong to. At the same time, the focus was also on contouring the image that the residents have about these churches, as well as, in a broader plan, on the manner these people view the future of the researched places, as well as that of their communities. Taking place in a limited time, the research campaign nevertheless allowed gathering a material that can be summarized in a few key points, which we present in this article.

„o to się staram, żeby [...] twoje sprawy zostały dobrze załatwione”1. Koadiutoria biskupstwa warmińskiego dla Marcina Kromera w świetle listów i zabiegów Jerzego z Tyczyna

Author(s): Ewelina Lilia Polańska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2023

In 1569, when Stanislaus Hosius, the Prince-Bishop of the Warmia Bishopric permanently depart-ed for Rome, he left Marcin Kromer as the administrator of his diocese. However, he did not reach an agreement on this matter with Warmia’s diocesan chapter, which considered it the so-called articuli iurati (artykuły zaprzysiężone), thus initiating a long battle for the approval of the coad-jutorship. A friend of Kromer from their student years, Jerzy from Tyczyn, a royal secretary and a Polish diplomat, who in the Roman Curia worked on behalf of the Kingdom of Poland and the Polish Church, effectively advocated for Kromer’s cause. Furthermore, the correspondence of Ti-cinius, an attentive observer and influential figure, shed new light on the entire matter. Finally, in early August 1571, at the Bernardine Monastery in Warsaw, delegates from Warmia’s diocesan chapter, declared to the apostolic nuncio that they accepted Kromer as the Coadjutor Bishop of Warmia upon the Pope’s approval.

Relacje księży Karola Dębińskiego i Feliksa Majewskiego z wizytacji duszpasterskich biskupa lubelskiego Franciszka Jaczewskiego jako źródło do badań architektury sakralnej w diecezji lubelskiej na początku XX wieku

Author(s): Anna Bartko-Malinowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2023

Pastoral visits of parishes, typically conducted on an annual basis, constitute a fundamental duty of Catholic bishops. Such visits serve as occasions for addressing the concerns and needs of the faithful, while also providing an opportunity to assess the state of parish churches. However, the religious policies enforced by the Russian government in the Kingdom of Poland imposed restrictions on the ability of the bishops of Lublin and Siedlce to visit parishes situated in regions inhabited by the Uniate population. The decree on religious tolerance of April 17/30, 1905 enabled former Uniates to return to the Catholic Church and expanded the scope of activities for the Catholic clergy. Bishop Franciszek Jaczewski of the Lublin Diocese promptly availed himself of this newfound opportunity and made the inaugural visit to the the south-eastern part of the Lublin Diocese on May 13 of the same year. In 1905 alone, the bishop visited a total of 56 parishes and continued his visits in 1906 and 1907. The first visit, which was of immense significance, was meticulously documented by Father Karol Dębiński, while the subsequent visit, conducted one year later, was chronicled by Father Feliks Majewski. These accounts provide insights into the historical background of the visited localities, the genesis of the parishes, and the architectural features of the ecclesiastical structures, including their external façades, state of preservation, and interior furnishings. Significantly, these narratives are complemented by rich photographic material. It is worth noting that these accounts often convey the subjective viewpoints and impressions of the authors, which, nevertheless, does not impinge on their informative value. Given the authors’ assiduousness, these reports are an invaluable source for investigating the objects visited by the bishop, especially considering that some have undergone alterations or have not survived till the present day. The meticulous descriptions of the ecclesiastical edifices, offered by first-hand witnesses, are of considerable historiographic significance, particularly for scholars of art history specialising in the sacred architecture of the Lublin region.

Jan Paweł II jako homo viator. Refleksje literaturoznawcy w perspektywie nawiązań papieża do literatury pięknej podczas jego podróży apostolskich

Author(s): Anastazja Seul / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2023

This article explores the etymology and symbolic significance of the Latin term homo viator and its application to Pope John Paul II, who taught that eternal life is the goal of human existence, and that in order to achieve it, one must build communio personarum. The article focuses on the literature that the Pope cited during his pilgrimages as an illustration of this teaching. By quoting the words of writers and poets, the Holy Father encouraged concern for proper relationships with oneself, with other people, and with God.

Archiwum w Domu Generalnym Zgromadzenia Zmartwychwstania Pana Naszego Jezusa Chrystusa w Rzymie

Author(s): Artur Paweł Hamryszczak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2023

The Archive at the General House of the Congregation of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ in Rome is the central historical archive of the congregation. Bogdan Jański should be considered its founder, as he instructed to gather his entire legacy in Rome in 1840. Since 1886 the documentation has been housed in the General House of the Resurrectionists in via San Sebastanello 11. The first works organizing the archival records were undertaken by Father Paweł Smolikowski, at the turn of the 20th century. The current state of the archive has been most influenced by Father John Iwicki, who has catalogued nearly 70,000 file records, dividing the collection into 11 series. Between 2017 and 2023, Father Paweł Szymanowski, the congregation’s archivist, succeeded in signing an agreement with the Head Office of the State Archives to digitize and restore the letters of Adam Mickiewicz and Cyprian Kamil Norwid. Moreover, the Integrated Archival Information System (Zintegrowany System Informacji Archiwalnej – ZoSIA) has been implemented in the archive, thanks to which the inventory descriptions of archival items and their scans are successively uploaded. While the Roman Resurrectionist Archive does not have a statute, since October 30th, 1996, it has been operating on the basis of regulations approved by Father Sutherland MacDonald CR, the General of the Congregation. The archive has an inventory of more than 80,000 records. It collects the documentation heritage generated by the congregation’s central institutions, Resurrectionist houses and the legacy of the clergy. The Resurrectionist Archive includes very precious documentary resources, which, by their sheer size and informational value, make this institution one of the most important outside Poland. Its significance is not limited only to the knowledge of the history of the Polish Church in exile in the 19th and 20th centuries, but also the life of Polish exiles. Particularly valuable are the materials concerning the activity of the Great Emigration, cultural and political life of Poles in exile in the era of national captivity.

Z Wiednia do Mentorelli. Dar cesarzowej Marii Teresy dla sanktuarium Matki Bożej

Author(s): Barbara Jamska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2023

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Graces on Mentorella (Lazio region, about 50 km east of Rome), one of the oldest in Italy and the world, was built on the site of the conversion of St. Eustace. In the first millennium it was taken care of by the Benedictines, who popularized the cult of Mary there and probably in the 12th century placed a wooden statue of Our Lady with the young Jesus inside the temple. The monks’ abandonment of the site (presumably in the late 14th century) resulted in the decline of pilgrimage traffic and considerable neglect of the place, which regained its former glory only after 1661, i.e., after the Jesuit Athanasius Kircher “discovered” Mentorella. At that time, a new phase in the history of the church began: the restoration project supported by Emperor Leopold I of Habsburg and the German princes, followed by the Jesuit mission (carried out until the order’s suppression), which elevated Mentorella to the rank of an important Marian sanctuary in Europe. The shrine could also count on the support of the Habsburg family in the 18th century – Empress Maria Theresa, known for her devotion to the Mother of God, donated a valuable robe for the statue of the Mentorella Madonna. When the church and monastery were taken over by the Resurrectionist Fathers, during the renovation of the buildings and rearrangement of the temple’s interior, the garments were removed from the statue and a chasuble (or chasubles) was sewn from the fabric donated by the Empress. In 2023, an inventory of the furnishings of the church and monastery on Mentorella was made. Among the preserved liturgical vestments, it was possible to select a chasuble composed from the dresses of Empress Maria Theresa’s foundation and confirm its provenance after comparing the embroidered fabric with a graphic depicting Our Lady of Men¬torella in dresses, made by Giuseppe Mochetti “dal vero” in the 1st half of the 19th century. While it cannot be determined that Empress Maria Theresa made the embroidery herself (she herself designed, embroidered, and decorated with appliqués many of the liturgical paraments she funded), the artifact is of great artistic and historical value – bearing witness to the sanctuary’s strong ties to the Habsburg monarchy.

CHRISTIANS IN THE EARLY 17TH CENTURY MONASTIR’S SHARIA COURT AND THEIR RELATIONS WITH THE MUSLIM POPULATION

Author(s): Nikola Kirik / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2023

Ottoman sigils are one of the most important sources for the study of social, economic, legal and administrative history during the period of the rule of the Ottoman Empire. This research focuses on the records in Sijilot II from the Sharia Court in Bitola in order to present more detailed information about the reasons why the Christian population turned to this court in the period from 1621 to 1623. In general, a distinction is made between records in which only Christians are mentioned and cases in which, in addition to Christians, Muslims are also included. By analyzing these records, we also analyze the relations between the Christian and Muslim communities during this period.

O Wojciecha Kętrzyńskiego edycji Epitaphium Dithardi abbatis słów kilka

Author(s): Tomasz Zuzek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 40/2023

This paper seeks to acquaint the readers with problems related to Wojciech Kętrzyński’s 1893 edition of Epitaphium Dithardi abbatis [Epitaph of abbot Dithard] in volume six of Monumenta Poloniae Historica. In contrast to the information the scholar disseminated which was subsequently commonly adopted, Epitaphium Dithardi abbatis was not a part of the hand-written collection of the so-called Oliva sources (Fontes Olivenses). This laudatory work in a verse form, in honour of the first abbot of the Oliva monastery, was probably created in the 13th century, and today is known mainly from the 17th-century epitaph tablet surviving in the Oliva Cathedral in Gdańsk, which Wojciech Kętrzyński did not see personally. He issued Epitaphium Dithardi abbatis taking as the basis a copy of the text surviving in the Kórnik manuscript call no. BK 65, copied from this tablet in 1749. Today, in view of the existence of an older copy of the text, included in the Gdańsk manuscript (APG, call no. 940/422) copied not from the tablet but from the 15th-century polychrome, Kętrzyński’s edition should be considered insufficient.

Stan parafii archidiakonatu gnieźnieńskiego w epoce potrydenckiej w świetle siedemnastowiecznych wizytacji (wybrane przykłady)

Author(s): Anna Jabłońska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2023

This article aims to show the relation between the premise of the great reform of the Catholic Church from the 16th century and the state of the individual, diversified parishes of the archdeaconry of Gniezno after the Council of Trent. The events of the 17th century are discussed when the process of restoration of the status of the Catholic Church occurred. Two out of four canonical visitations that remained from this archdeaconry were used in the article. They come from the beginning and the end of the 17th century and are the most comprehensive. They allow for an insight into the state of the parish then operating in the ever-changing social, economic, and political conditions. To an extent, they allow to find an answer to the question if and how the reform introduced by the Council of Trent reflects in the functioning and certain elements an essential and important link in the Church structure.
