Bruno Schulz’s essay on Ephraim Moses Lilien, a Jewish artist born in Drogobych, was published serially in 1937-1938 in "Przegląd Podkarpacia". Not only is it the only Schulz’stext on plastic arts, but also his only explicit statement on Jewish matters. In Schulz’sopinion, Lilien stimulated his interest in plastic arts and played an important role as a mythmaker of contemporary Zionism.

The experts and admirers of Schulz’s plastic art have long known about his design ofa bookplate of Ella and Jakub Schulz, the children of Izydor, Schulz’s elder brother,made probably in 1930. A sheet of paper with a pencil sketch was glued to carton mostlikely by Schulz himself and then framed. In such a form, hiding the reverse, it was preserved for several decades. In 2015 it became an object of auction. During examination,the sheet was separated from its original background and it turned out that onthe reverse there are some unknown sketches by Schulz. One of them is a portrait ofthe writer’s mother, the other shows a homage of an elderly man to a young woman.Many known drawings by the writer have been made on sheets where both the reverseand the obverse have been used, which implies that, first, all the undersides of Schulz’sworks must be carefully examined since they may hide his works that are still unknown,and second, that Schulz’s pencil sketches must be treated as material wholes. Fragments of his works cannot be reproduced separately from their visual milieu. It is also undesirable to frame and publish his drawings in isolation, according to conventional genre categories, such as “portrait,” “self-portrait” or “nude.” Their publication should makea documentary foundation which will allow us to reveal the principles of a mysterious coexistence of disparate motifs, optical perspectives, and emotional tonalities.

The aim of the article is to bridge the gap in the study of Nicolaus de Radom’s output by presenting a comparative analysis of his works as juxtaposed with other European artists. The prevailing opinion of musicologists, such as Maria Szczepańska and Mirosław Perz, is that Nicolaus de Radom’s music is closely related to the works of northern Italian composers. However, such a claim has not yet been supported with the detailed comparative analysis. The article presents the analysis of the manuscripts Kras 52 and Wn 378, signed by Nicolaus de Radom, confronted with selected masses by Johannes Ciconia and Antonio Zacara da Teramo. A detailed analysis of a two-sectioned cyclic mass helps to distinguish certain similarities and differences in the unification of the Mass pairs, as they are exemplified in the music of the composers. The works of all of the three artists manifest secular songs’ influence on the shaping of the Mass as a genre, although each composer adapts it in a slightly different way. Moreover, it is stated that a thorough analysis of the 15th-century Masses is necessary to determine whether there are any links between Nicolaus de Radom’s, Antonio Zacara da Teramo’s and Johannes Ciconia’s works, and whether there are any similarities in their compositional technique. Presented analysis of de Radom’s, Zacara da Teramo’s and Ciconia’s Masses refutes the claim that Nicolaus de Radom’s output bears closest relation to those of Zacara da Teramo’s. The results of the study reveal that there are no straightforward examples which would support such a theory.

On the basis of one voynuk register from 1529, as well as of three lists of timars and waqfs from 1516, 1530 and 1570, new data about the voynuk and rayah population of eleven settlements situated south of today’s town of Pazardzhik at the foot of the Western Rhodopes, is presented in the article. Most of these voynuk villages were within the borders of the Chepino nahiya, which in different times was part of the Samokov or Tatar Pazardzhik kazas. The data from the voynuk register of 1529 and from one waqf list from 1570 gives reasons to disprove the legendary knowledge about the presence of a big group of voynuks in the Chepino region, who according to the published by Stefan Zahariev “chronicle story” of Priest Metodi Draginov, became the main reason for the allegedly violent imposing of Islam among the local population. There was the opinion that this part of the “chronicle story” is fictional interpretation by Stefan Zahariev himself. The obvious contradiction between the historical reality and the “chronicle” of Metodi Draginov consists of the fact that in the first half of ХVІ century no big group of voynuks, except for three voynuk families from the village of Rakitovo, lived in the villages in the Chepino region. In ХVІІ century, when according to the “chronicle note”, the dramatic events of islamization of the voynuks from the Chepino region allegedly happened, this population category had long before disappeared from the historic scenery of this region of Bulgaria, as around 1570 the last voynuks from Rakitovo were recorded as ordinary rayah from the waqf of Sultan Suleiman I Kanuni.

The current work aims to create a clear image of the classification of source materials used in the research of the demographic development of the Bulgarian territories during the Renaissance as well as to determine the place of the Greek sources among them. Various source material classifications have been considered in the study of historical demography. The most common classification in the study of the Bulgarian historical demography is based on the source language. According to the language criterion the sources for the demographic development of the Bulgarian territories during the Renaissance are classified in four main groups – Bulgarian, Ottoman, Greek and others. The amount and diversity of Greek source materials allow: 1) the support of already existing hypotheses by providing already known data; and 2) disproving already existing hypotheses or building new ones by providing unknown data. Although the Greek sources greatly improve our vision about the historical demography of the Bulgarian territories during the Renaissance, our research shows that by only considering Greek sources we would not get a realistic image. Rather, we should consider these sources as a part of the whole source base and analyze them together with sources from the other three language classes.

The interbellum was a period when the spontaneous popularity of Jewish music was born. Its expansion in the area of general culture coincided with the rise of a strong institutional and media backing for the musical activities (which means that this music had to have a market value), and on the other hand—with the revival of the national Jewish movement in its various ideological forms, all of which acknowledged a significant role for fostering their own culture. At that time, Prague was the third most important (after Vienna and Berlin) center of Jewish culture in Central Europe, and it strongly influenced the neighboring centers such as Bratislava, Budapest, or—the closest to the author of this abstract—Warsaw. In this paper, various aspects of the Jewish music’s presence in the general musical life of the interwar Prague are being discussed, namely: the open musical activity of Jewish organizations and synagogues, Jewish instrumental and choral music, as well as Jewish songs (synagogal, folk and artistic) performed in the concert halls of Prague, the activity of the group of young Jewish composers (among others: Walter Süskind, Mieczysław Kolinski, Berthold Kobias, Hermann Weiss and Frank Pollak) who formed the so-called “New Jewish School” in music, and finally, writing about Jewish music.

The electronic platform of the Distance Learning Department of the “Gheorghe Dima” Music Academy in Cluj-Napoca, Romania is the main means of student-teaching interaction that supports the teaching/learning activity on all levels. The educational dynamics is largely enhanced by the modular system in which the working environment has been oriented according to study objects. Due to the particular features of music study at university level, this platform benefits from software opportunities specially tailored to meet the demands of this specific kind of teaching, interaction and coordination of the continuous evaluation of users. The results we have had in our experience with this platform very clearly show the availability both of the content providers (teaching staff) and of the beneficiaries (students) for using this technology. Given the implementation, in the platform’s interior, of global systems for its evaluation, we have been able to follow the users’ requests. The analysis of requests and evaluation of assessment systems’ outcomes have led to a continuous development of the platform. By making on-line technologies more flexible so as to meet the demands of music pedagogy, superior level music education has much to gain by implementing specific instruments.

The author presents an up-to-date look at scientometrics - science which gives one of the right markers in studying the history of science for pedigree; the priority functions of the magazine as primary scientific communication are revealed - following the example of the Genealogy journal. The methodology of the study on the dynamics of the publications for the period from 1990 to 2015 is based on the historiographic and scientometric approach. Their text-critical description provides information on the state of the scientific knowledge, but its dynamics, in a synchronic and diachronic aspect, is illustrated de visu through diagrams, tables and other forms of representation of the publications.

This article examines the case of a Jewish girl named Maria who wanted to convert to Christianity in the town of Kolín, Bohemia, in the year 1666. The author analyzes the sources that document the events and the reactions of the Jewish and Christian communities, as well as the role of the Archbishop and the Capuchins. The article also explores the motives and influences that shaped Maria's decision and her subsequent vacillation between the two faiths. The author argues that the case reflects the atmosphere of messianic expectations and the repercussions of Shabbatai Zevi's appearance in the Jewish world.

Niedługo po XX Zjeździe KPZR nastąpiły zmiany destalinizacyjne we wszystkich państwach „bloku socjalistycznego”. Biblioteki publiczne okaleczone akcjami oczyszczania księgozbiorów z dzieł podlegających natychmiastowemu usunięciu na próżno upominały się o ich zwrot w Centralnym Zarządzie Bibliotek Ministerstwa Kultury i Sztuki (pisma nr 1–4). Na początku 1958 roku bibliotekarzom rozesłano Wskazówki w sprawie postępowania z drukami zbędnymi (pismo nr 5), zabraniające pozbywania się podstawowych dzieł Marksa, Engelsa, Lenina i Stalina. Bibliotekarzy ponownie starano się wykorzystać w propagandowej grze prowadzonej przez ideologów Polski Ludowej ze społeczeństwem.
