Powiedzieć, że Jędrzej Moraczewski był człowiekiem pióra, to nic nie powiedzieć. A jednak ta prosta konstatacja wielu może na pierwszy rzut oka dziwić. Moraczewski bowiem wyłania się zwykle zza sceny dziejowej w bardzo konkretnym przebraniu. Raz w sfatygowanej marynarce jako wytrwały działacz socjalistyczny i niepodległościowy, zaraz potem w dobrze skrojonym garniturze jako polityk, jeden z liderów Polskiej Partii Socjalno-Demokratycznej Galicji i Śląska Cieszyńskiego i Polskiej Partii Socjalistycznej (PPS), działacz związkowy, poseł do wiedeńskiej Rady Państwa i poseł na sejm w wolnej Polsce, premier i minister Rzeczypospolitej wreszcie.

The article discusses personal documents through the lens of ethics. The argument focuses on Dziennik [Journal] by Jan Józef Szczepański, which is analyzed primarily with the use of Charles Taylor’s deliberations on ethics and subjectivity and David Parker’s study of ethical interpretations of autobiographical literature. The discussion presented in the article is based on several key concepts, including “constitutive good,” “strong evaluations,” “moral space,” “qualitative differentiations,” “conceptual framework.” The author seeks to answer the question of whether – and if so, how – a journal, in particular Szczepański’s Dziennik, may constitute an act of building identity and establishing subjectivity and how it articulates constitutive good and reveals the roots of morality. The article is also an attempt to demonstrate the necessity to adopt an ethical perspective in literary research (with particular emphasis on autobiographical literature) in the “secular age.”

The University Library in Wrocław has a rich collection of old works from the Netherlands, which proves that in the old days academic and bibliophilic research was carried out in the Silesian region. The works reflect various cultural, academic and religious connections between the inhabitants of Silesia and the ones of Western Europe. The printed texts give evidence confirming that Silesian bibliophiles purchased books abroad, as well as from the local book sellers. Thus, they participated in the academic and cultural movements of that time. The paper is to present the Dutch emblem volumes that are in the possession of the University Library in Wrocław, and especially how they made their way from the Netherlands to Silesia. A number of questions arise: why Silesian collectors used to buy works written in Dutch and whether that did not create a cognitive barrier for them. What kind of motivation could have inspired them to buy those books? Was it the so‑called peregrination academica that encouraged people to study in the Netherlands? What I would like to do as well is to show unlimited passions of library owners who were open‑minded to different fields of interest, which was reflected in their book collections that now are a part of the Library in Wroclaw.

The article proposes a new reading of Album biograficzne zasłużonych Polaków i Polek wieku XIX (1901–1903) [Biographic album of distinguished nineteenth-century Polish men and women (1901–1903)]. It is proven that this collection of characteristically designed biographies and an unusual collective biography is an important work of Polish humanities of the turn of the twentieth century that can be placed in relation to both Thomas Carlyle’s hero concept and Jacob Burckhardt’s postulates of the ‘anthropologisation of history’. The three selected biograms (Klaudyna Potocka’s by Aleksander Kraushar, August Hiacynt Dziarkowski’s by Józef Peszke and Adolf Pawiński’s by Jan Karol Kochanowski) are case studies allowing for the reconstruction of the dilemmas and text strategies each time specifying the biographer’s unique workshop and the techniques of uncovering it.

Zygmunt Haupt’s preserved correspondence with the editors of Tematy (Paweł Mayewski and Jan Kempka) from the years 1962-1970 consists of seventeen letters. During that time, Haupt published in the quarterly from New York his translations of three poems by Robert Frost and one by Robert Lowell, as well as one short story of his own. This correspondence, although modest in volume, is an interesting testimony of Haupt’s collaboration with an important émigré journal. It also presents the writer as someone interested in the current literary life, trying his hand as a translator of American poetry.

The conversation concerns the broadly-understood methodological background and substantive knowledge of the co-author of the highly praised biography of Jan Potocki, François Rosset. The researcher talks about the importance and usefulness of knowledge of the French eighteen-century novel, the Enlightenment ideas and artistic trends for the work on the biography of the author of The Manuscript found in Saragossa. Rosset also talks about archive research related to the work on this biography and about how he used his knowledge of editorial meanders of the famous novel while writing. The researcher emphasizes that the authors of biographies should keep a distance from the characters of their stories and that their main goal is to try to present the life cycle of a given person as comprehensively as possible, supporting it with sources.

The aim of the article is to analyze the ways of building credibility of the author in the articles published in two monthly magazines Spiritual Knowledge (Wiedza Duchowa) and Lotus (Lotos) in pre-war Poland. The magazines were in line with the trends of the time of the interwar period, combining esoteric themes with the latest scientific discoveries. Authors of the articles published in these periodicals skillfully referred to various types of authority -both scientific knowledge and other sources, including personal sources. The analysis of the research material was conducted from the perspective of strategic places in the press text, which made it possible to describe the ways of presenting various topics, the functions of the titles of the articles and the most common rhetorical means used for persuading readers.

The article discusses the fragments of Basel manuscript of Thomas Platter the Younger’s diary from his journey through France, in which Daniel Naborowski is mentioned. The document sheds new light on the life of the Polish poet. As it turns out, in early 1596, between Orleans and Geneva, Naborowski first visited Montpellier, Nîmes, and Avignon. The document is the more important that Platter offers a detailed insight into the early period of the poet’s student life, even before he entered the service of the Radziwiłłs. Platter provides direct quotes from Naborowski, who served as an interpreter of young travellers during their (sometimes contentious) contacts with foreign nations.

In this paper the aspect of collaboration on articles (n = 3017) in scientific journals (n = 384) was analysed, in the field of educational sciences of authors from 15 post-socialist countries in the period from 1996 to 2019. The quantitative data was derived from the base Scopus, and they were complemented with structural interviews conducted with 10 scientists. The purpose of the research is to describe the co-authorship of the addressed groups of scientists and to determine the repercussions of the published articles in the scientific community. The results warn about insufficient representation of international co-authorships and about the low representation of authors from post-socialist countries in internationally relevant journals, which reflects on their low citation and visibility in a wider scientific community.

Nakon skoro pet stoljeća osmanske okupacije, Bugarska je, nakon narodnog ustanka 1876. te Rusko-turskog rata koji je uslijedio, postala kneževina, Sporazumom u San Stefanu, 3. ožujka 1878. godine. U praksi je to značilo da Bugarska postaje samoupravni entitet samo nominalno unutar Osmanskog carstva sa sultanom kao suverenom. Prvim knezom je proglašen Nijemac Aleksandar od Battenberga koji nije bio po volji Rusima te su potaknuli državni udar 1886. godine, koji ga je prisilio na abdikaciju.

What are the obstacles historical research on antisemitism in interwar romania has to face? Two different narratives shape the memories of contemporary witnesses: On the one hand, Romania was a land of an active, even violent antisemitism. On the other hand, Romanian antisemitism is described as a short-term upsurge in the context of peaceful coexistence. How can these different assessments be explained and brought together? Every research overview needs guiding standards. For the purposes of this essay, the assertions of theories of antisemitism will be asked. How is antisemitism defined? What were its causes? What were the different types of antisemitism? As a result, a thoroughly differentiated picture emerges. Research on Romanian history after 1989 has filled many gaps. This above all applies to the ideology of antisemitism, but also to broad areas of political antisemitism. Religious-institutional antisemitism has been well studied, with a focus on ecclesiastical publications. In addition, there are fields of research for which initial results are available (e.g. physical violence). Finally, there are whole areas for which studies are still pending, especially on the regional, social, and cultural history of antisemitism. We cannot yet conjoin the two mentioned narratives on Romanian antisemitism in the interwar period. But it should be clear which research steps are to be followed.

The article includes an attempt to examine aspects related to legal and settlement conditions of Josephine colonization in Galicia. In the text, legal and political analyses captured the factors associated with the seeds of Josephine colonization and its subsequent development at the end of the 18th century. Then the settlement character of newly created villages was identified. The article uses ordinances related to the process of Josephine colonization, source materials from the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv and the National Archives in Krakow.

Based on source texts and historical studies, the article reviews the documents illustrating the history of fire protection in Poland in the period up to 1795. The review covers documents hitherto unknown or, for unknown reasons, omitted in historical studies (parliamentary constitutions, sejmik lauds, diaries, press, poems and, very rare, iconographic representations). It is also an attempt at a polemic with the works of some contemporary researchers of the Polish history of fire prevention. The study also contains some statistical data related to the fires of the Polish Middle Ages, presented more extensively in the author’s work “Medieval fires - chronicles and records”.
