    Issues in Quantitative Linguistics 3 View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE edited by provided by Jagiellonian Univeristy Repository Reinhard Köhler Gabriel Altmann Dedicated to Karl-Heinz Best on the occasion of his 70th birthday 2013 RAM-Verlag The influx rate of Turkic glosses in Hungarian and Polish post-mediaeval texts Kamil Stachowski, Jagiellonian University Abstract. The paper analyzes Turkic glosses in Hungarian and Polish post/mediaeval texts from the point of view of their correlation with historical events, and of their com- patibility with the Piotrovskij-Altmann law. The correspondence is found to be very good in both cases. A slight modification is proposed to the equation to lend more lin- guistic significance to one of the coefficients. 0 Rationale The goal of the present paper is twofold. On one hand, it continues the work pioneered by Karl-Heinz Best (Best/Kohlhase 1983, Best 2003, 2006, 2008, 2010 and others), of collecting empirical evidence for the so-called Piotrovskij-Alt- mann law. By providing Hungarian and Polish data, it also adds to the issue of Turkic influence in Europe, first discussed quantitatively in Best (2005) using the example of German. On the other hand, it attempts to show how the quantitative and qualitative " ' ' ' K & '+ &D 8T 6 worked to demonstrate this to a more traditionalistic audience (1990: 371). My aim here is to illustrate how the quantitative approach can reveal a general ten- dency in a collection of detailed observations gathered and explained with the philological method. I will: 1. explain how I prepared the data for analysis, 2.

Chyba niema dziś w Polsce człowieka, któryby nie sły­ szał o Henryku Sienkiewiczu. Sławne to przecież nazwisko, sławne nietylko w naszej ojczyźnie, ale i w całym świecie, gdzie tylko żyją narody oświecone. Henryk Sienkiewicz, który 15 listopada 1916 roku zszedł z tego świata, był lekarzem naszej smutnej i znękanej duszy narodowej, naszą chlubą i naszą chwałą. Jego piękne, pełne miłości rodaków i ziemi ojczystej księgi zbłądziły już odda- wna pod strzechy wieśniacze, a więc tam, gdzie pragnął wi­ dzieć swe dzieła niezapomniany wieszcz nasz, poeta Adam Mickiewicz. W czemże leży zasługa Henryka Sienkiewicza dla kraju, dla nas wszystkich razem i dla każdego zosobna? kim był ten człowiek? — ciśnie się na usta pytanie. Odpowiedź na to nie łatwa. Jeśli powiemy, że był on wielkim powieściopisarzem, że wydał i napisał wiele pięknych książek, które czyta się z przyjemnością i zainteresowaniem, to tłumaczenie takie będzie powierzchowne i zupełnie niewystarczające. Aby bowiem zasługi jego ocenić, należy wiedzieć, c o . pisał, jakie mu pragnienia i ideały w pracy tej przyświecały do czego dążył i co zdziałał, W ten dopiero sposób ujrzy-' my, jak w blasku jasnego słońca, wielką duszę tego człowieka Sienkiewicz pisać i działać począł u nas przed laty pięćdziesięciu, a więc w dobie bardzo smutnej.

  • The Shroud and the Stone
    Text © James F. Day 2020 2 The Shroud and the Stone The Turin Shroud and the Medieval Paschal Mystery James Day Orange County, California [email protected] Abstract The Shroud and the Stone proposes a new way of looking at the Shroud of Turin: as a way to deepen understanding of the Paschal Mystery, the mystery of suffering, the dignity of the Redemption, by rediscovering the beauty of medieval Paschal devotions and how these rich expressions of Christ’s Passion, Death and Resurrection can be reintroduced to today’s faithful. Doorway to a Lost World There is a telling line in the epitaph of Conrad I the Peaceful, king of Burgundy, who reigned until his death in AD 993, that summarizes the inherent worldview of the people we will meet in the pages ahead. The part of the inscription reads, in its English translation: “You who wear ​ precious clothes and who endlessly accumulate wealth that will not benefit you, know that you will be satisfied with few possessions after your death. Sufficient the shroud and the stone.”1 ​ ​ What more is there to add about the world famous Shroud of Turin? It has been analyzed and argued over for centuries. But might it be able to unlock for us a door into how ancestors in the faith meditated upon the Paschal Mystery, the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ? Indeed, so important was the physical death of Jesus, the burial of his crucified body, and ​ ultimately the abandoned tomb — the central events of Christianity — it enraptured the medieval mind.

Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie abstraktu The 17th century was a period of armed conflicts for Poland, which weakened the country. One of the countries with which Poland waged war was Russia. After the death of Ivan IV the Terrible, a tsar of the Rurik dynasty, Russia faced deep crisis, uprisings and riots. This time was called as the „Time of Troubles”. This situation in the Tsardom of Russia was a consequence of the internal politics of the deceased tsar. In 1598 Tsar Feodor died, thus ending the reign of the Rurikids. The power was then seized by the boyar Boris Godunow, who was accused of murdering tsar Feodor's brother - Dmitry. However, a man calling himself Dmitri and professing to be the rightful heir to the throne returned to Russia in unclear circumstances and took over power. He married a daughter of a Polish magnate, Marina Mniszchówna. His reign had no support from his compatriots, because he did not respect Orthodox customs and surrounded himself with Polish Catholics. This led to riots in which Dmitry was slain. Power was then seized by the boyar Vasili IV of Russia.
