Archiwum Biura Dokumentów 2. Korpusu – zadania i wyzwania

Author(s): Bartosz Gralicki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 5/2021

Artykuł stanowi prezentację założeń i działań Biura Dokumentów 2. Korpusu oraz dalszych losów jego spuścizny archiwalnej. Biuro było jednostką łączącą zadania ewidencyjne i archiwalno-badawcze z zadaniami propagandy politycznej zmierzającej do przekonania opinii publicznej krajów anglosaskich, że Rosja sowiecka jest reżimem o charakterze totalitarnym. W założeniu twórców Biura miało to wpłynąć na stanowisko aliantów zachodnich wobec kwestii wschodniej granicy Polski na przyszłej konferencji pokojowej. Przeprowadzona przez nie akcja ankietowa to największe zrealizowane przedsięwzięcie instytucji. Na podstawie kwestionariuszy i ankiet zebrano w sposób zaplanowany i usystematyzowany relacje jeńców, internowanych, łagierników i osób deportowanych po 17 września 1939 roku, którzy wstąpili do armii Andersa. Efektem prac jest ponad 30 tys. różnego typu sprawozdań i ankiet znajdujących się w zbiorach Instytutu Hoovera w Stanford w USA. Stanowią one fascynujący zapis konfrontacji polskich obywateli z rzeczywistością sowieckiej okupacji i Związku Sowieckiego.

Apokryficzna apokalipsa Rzeczypospolitej, czyli jak Facies perturbatae et afflictae Reipublicae Jana Dymitra Solikowskiego przeistoczyła się w Apocalipsis Stanislai Orechovii

Author(s): Jakub Wolak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2022

The subject of this study is Facies perturbatae et afflictae Reipublicae, a neo-Latin text which enjoyed huge popularity in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Although correctly attributed by Jan Brożek to Jan Dymitr Solikowski – who wrote it in 1564 while serving as a secretary to the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, Sigismundus Augustus – the text was widely attributed to Stanisław Orzechowski until the late eighteenth century. The first part of the present article offers a summary of the contents of the Facies and biographical information about the author. The second part discusses the history of research on the subject and the history of the text itself, delving particularly into its manuscripts and early prints. The historic-philological investigation is summarised with the construction of stemma codicorum and a chronological index of printed editions, which includes translations into Polish and paraphrases (presented in an appendix). Third and fourth parts of the study deal with the reception of the text and fata libelli, particularly its attribution to Stanisław Orzechowski. The research was done into the biographical relations between Orzechowski and Solikowski, literary parallelisms found in their works, and iconographic themes present in the frontispiece of Orzechowski’s Quincunx and the drawings in Solikowski’s manuscripts. The protagonists of the history of reception are Jan Szczęsny Herburt, one of the leaders of 1606–1607 anti-royalist rokosz (rebellion), and Jan Szeliga, a printer co-operating with Herburt. Herburt was the first publisher of the Facies (although he did not publish the original text but a paraphrase in Old Polish). At the same time, Szeliga was responsible for almost half of all editions of the Facies, first as Herburt’s printer, and later as an independent editor. Thus, as is evident from Herburt’s foreword to his edition, a royalist allegory which glorifies the king unexpectedly emerges in the context of an anti-royalist rokosz ideology.

Ioan Petru Culianu, Mircea Eliade și „felix culpa”. Supplementa

Author(s): Liviu Bordaş / Language(s): English,Romanian Issue: 18/2022

The article discusses new unpublished documents which supplement those pre­sented in the earlier articles published in this journal (the issues VIII, IX and X). Appen­dix 1 contains seven new pieces belonging to the correspondence of I. P. Culianu with Mac Linscott Ricketts. In order to further contextualise them I have added a contemporary ex­change between Ricketts and Joseph M. Kitagawa, along with Kitagawa’s unpublished re­view of Ricketts’ monograph about Mircea Eliade (appendices 3 and 5). Appendix 2 adds three new pieces to the correspondence of I. P. Culianu with Mircea and Christinel Eliade. Again, for a better contextualisation and understanding of them, I added the exchanges of Fernand Schwarz with Mircea and Christinel Eliade (appendix 4). In most of these docu­ments, the main topic of interest for the discussion carried on in the article is Culianu’s at­titude towards the accusations of philo-Fascism and anti-Semitism brought to Mircea Eliade.

Zastosowanie lecznicze i kosmetyczne wody różanej według dziewiętnastowiecznej literatury farmaceutycznej oraz medycznej

Author(s): Krzysztof Koniewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 28/2021

Floral water, also called hydrolate, is a secondary product of the distillation process of aromatic plants. In the Middle Ages, rose hydrolate, according to medical advice of the time, protected against plague spread by ‘miasma’. In nineteenth-century medical and cosmetic applications, rose water was often used as an aromatic and soothing ingredient, forming a base while giving the product the right consistency. It was also the main ingredient in eye medications (in Latin: Collyrium), anti-inflammatory ointments and cosmetic products, including perfumes, aromatic waters, nourishing creams, lubricating pomades and numerous fragrances. In the 19th century medical and pharmaceutical literature, rose water was seen as a mainly aromatic substance which added a pleasant fragrance to medicines and cosmetics. The aim of this article is to compare the recipes for medicines and cosmetics containing rose water from 19th-century apothecary’s manuscripts in the library of the Pharmacy Museum of the Jagiellonian University Medical College with the medical and pharmaceutical literature of the period.

Nieznane protokoły posiedzeń podkomisji prawa o stosunkach z pokrewieństwa i opieki Komisji Kodyfikacyjnej Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej z 1939 roku (część III)

Author(s): Marian Mikołajczyk,Grzegorz Nancka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2023

When Poland regained independence in 1918, the different legal systems of the various partitioning states all remained in force on its territory. Drafts of uniform laws were to be drawn up by the Codification Commission established in 1919. One of its tasks was the preparation of a draft of the family and guardianship law. The sub-commission addressing this division of civil law worked until the outbreak of World War Two. The minutes of its sittings disappeared in September 1939 along with the total output of the Codification Commission. However, copies of minutes of the sittings of the subcommission held in 1939 were found in Kazimierz Przybyłowski’s collection of books donated to the Faculty of Law and Administration of University of Silesia in Katowice. These minutes shed new light on the final phase of the codification works. Publication of these documents will enable further detailed research on the history of family law in interwar Poland. The third part of the publication consists of minutes nos. 190–196.

Korespondencja Achillego Rattiego, wizytatora i nuncjusza apostolskiego w Polsce, z Ignacym Dub-Dubowskim, biskupem łucko-żytomierskim, z lat 1919-1921

Author(s): Janusz Królikowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2022

Achille Ratti, who later became Pope Pius XI, has recently attracted great interest among historians. He is one of the outstanding figures in the history of the Church, including the Church in Poland on the verge of independence, where he stayed first as a visitor and then as an apostolic nuncio (1919–1921). The found letters he addressed to Ignacy Dub-Dubowski, the bishop of Lutsk-Zytomyr, are published here. They concern both ecclesiastical matters and express personal ties between the nuncio and this bishop. I managed to find them in one of Rome’s antique shops in 2005. They are written in Latin, French and Italian. Based on these letters, this edition has been prepared.

The preserved manuscript of the end of chapter 5 of the first part of Eliza Orzeszkowa’s novel "Pan Graba" (1868–1869) reflects the work on the crystallization of the text and the improvement of the style of writer. The editorial study of a fragment of the manuscript of the novel and a list of variations compared to the press first edition of the novel (“Tygodnik Romansów i Powieści” 1869, No. 46–47) as well as their comparison makes it possible to analyze the creative methods of young Orzeszkowa.

Vida y obra de los poetas del pueblo. A propósito de un intercambio epistolar entre José Portogalo y José Pedroni en 1953

Author(s): María Fernanda Alle / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 13/2022

Based on an epistolary exchange between the poet from Santa Fe, José Pedroni, and the Buenos Aires artist José Portogalo at the beginning of 1953 and from two notes that Portogalo later published in Noticias Gráficas and in Propósitos, first, this work aims to investigate this meeting between the two poets within the framework of the formation in the 50s of a group of communist poetics that brought together poets from the provinces and the metropolitan center and had an impact on the reconfiguration of the central and peripheral spaces of the sector of the communist left of the literary field. Secondly, it will seek to analyze the mechanisms of self-figuration that are put into play in the autobiographical story that Pedroni makes in the framework of the letters, which tend to emphasize his place as “poet of the people” and “rural poet”, and the selection that Portogalo makes of the “data” that Pedroni provides him in the notes that he subsequently publishes according to an imaginary of the relationship life and work in which the experience of poverty, humility and effort is affirmed as the foundation of work’s value.

Разговоры, сны и мечты жителей блокадного Ленинграда. 1941–1944 гг.

Author(s): V. L. Piankevich / Language(s): Russian Issue: 44/2023

The author explores non-classical sources on the social history of besieged Leningrad — conversations, dreams and desires of the inhabitants of the city. Conversations, dreams and desires testify what is passionately desired, illusory and at the same time the most important for people. In relation to the history of the Siege of Leningrad, this has a special meaning, since it is a study of the fears, aspirations and hopes of a person in a catastrophe. The sources of studying of such specific forms of communication and auto-communication are reflections recorded in diaries, letters, memoirs, interviews. The author concludes that the dreams and desires of the inhabitants of besieged Leningrad, often remaining unfulfilled, reflected obvious and secret thoughts, fears, aspirations. Leningraders often told each other about their dreams, which were a bright moment of salvation to overcome the aching loneliness and stress. Thinking, speaking, dreaming about food, many have experienced or deliberately aroused in themselves a blissful, ecstatic state, returning with incredible pain to a deadly hungry reality. Men, women, children, people of different levels of education and culture were prone to daydreaming. The blockade present was so unbearable that the imagination painted a picture of well-being, comfort, satiety, peace in the past, which was experienced, familiar and sometimes seemed more real than the present and the future. The danger, often the practical impossibility of evacuation, transferred the physical movement to the space of sleep and dreams, where only the blockade could “act”. Such escapism allowed a person to escape the tyranny of blockaded reality. A very personal, private space which is a dream with the beginning of the war and especially the blockade, shrank to a very limited circle, the main ones in which were the lifting of the blockade and food.

Tahrir Kayıtlarına Göre Dimetoka Mülkleri; Tımar ve Vakfa Dönüşümleri (1455-1530)

Author(s): Taner Çolak / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 2/2023

Dimetoka is one of the Balkan towns that remained under the rule of the Ottoman Empire for about 5.5 centuries. It can be accepted among the places that the Ottomans conquered in the first period in Rumelia. Today, it is located in the Evros/Meriç region within the borders of Greece. Dimetoka is located in the settlement zone of the Ottoman state in Rumelia. It is known that Turkish and Muslim people were brought from Anatolia for the settlement and development of the city. In order to realize the settlement policy in the city, the Ottomans adopted the people they settled in the region to the timar, waqf, and mülk systems. Therefore, it can be said that Dimetoka is a settlement where timars, waqfs, mülks, and farms are densely established. This article focuses on the identification of mülks in Dimetoka and their transformation into Waqf and Timar. In the 15th and 16th centuries, mülk records in this city were recorded in the cadastral registers. In this study on these cadastral registers, information is given about the mülk lands in the city and their usage methods. The ways in which the mülks are acquired and the way they are transferred to the next generations are stated. Evaluations were made on how the properties were given to whom and how they turned into Waqf and Timar. This study is based on archive analysis, analysis, criticism and synthesis. The determination of Dimetoka mülks and their changes and transformations over time have been revealed in the historical period we have limited.

Fetihnâmeler Tarihçiye Ne Söyler? Hârezmşahlar (1097-1231) Devrine Ait Fetihnâmeler Üzerine Mukayeseli Bir İnceleme

Author(s): Meryem Gürbüz / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 2/2023

The fatihnames are texts the political power wrote to express itself, explain and defend its victory, and show exultation in its success. Among the fatihnames from the Khwarazmshah Dynasty, this study has chosen those from its establishment, rise, and collapse: the Jand, Bukhara, and Ahlat Fatihnames. The texts are compared with other sources describing the events and government documents that still exist. The study examines the fatihnames in terms of form/content to answer what they can tell historians. The Khwarazmshahs’ fatihnames gave much space to defending/emphasizing the concepts of ruler/sovereignty and explaining governmental and conquest legitimacy using divine sources. Accordingly, God has chosen the ruler for his characteristics to govern a region, even the world, and provides unlimited support and help in his endeavors. Fatihnames’ mostly concern defending governmental legitimacy, but also have information for historians, such as military operations’ courses/outcomes and fatihnames’ addressees. This study believes fatihnames’ main importance is how they officially expressed and understood dozens of concepts such as greatness, virtues, negligence, good/evil, happiness, blessings, mercy, arrogance, renegades, miracles, and patience, concepts that the era’s literature also constantly were processing.
