  • From a Far-Away Country of the Polish II Corps Heroes
    Special edition Warsaw-Monte Cassino May 18, 2019 GLORY TO THE HEROES! ETERNAL BATTLEFIELD GLORY Dear Readers, n the glorious history of the Polish army, there were many battles where Iour soldiers showed exceptional heroism and sacrifice. The seizure of the Monte Cassino abbey has its special place in the hearts and memory of Poles. General Władysław Anders wrote in his order: “Long have we waited for this moment of retaliation and revenge on our eternal enemy. […] for this ruffianly attack of Germany on Poland, for partitioning Poland jointly with the Bolsheviks, […] for the misery and tragedy of our Fatherland, for our sufferings and exile.” The soldiers of the Polish II Corps did not waste this opportunity and seized the reinforced position in the abbey’s ruins, which had earlier been resisting the gunfire, bombing and attacks of the Allied forces. Polish determination and heroism broke the fierce defense line of the German forces. This victory was however paid very dearly for. On the hillside of Monte Cassino over 900 soldiers were killed, and almost 3,000 wounded. Still, the Monte Cassino success, although paid for with blood, paved the way to independent Poland. Saint John Paul II, when talking about the Battle of Monte Cassino, said about a live symbol of will to live, of sovereignty. These words perfectly define the attitude ...from a far-away country of the Polish II Corps heroes. They proved to be determined, patriotic, and The title might not be original, but it perfectly reflects the Polish-Italian full of will to fight. They were respected relations.

  • Philip Melanchthon in the Writings of His Polish Contemporaries
    ODRODZENIE I REFORMACJA W POLSCE ■ SI 2017 ■ PL ISSN 0029-8514 Janusz Tazbir Philip Melanchthon in the Writings of his Polish Contemporaries Over thirty years ago Oskar Bartel, a distinguished scholar of the history of the Polish Reformation, bemoaned how little was known about the relations between preceptor Germaniae and the movement. In an article about the familiarity with Melanchthon, both as person and his oeuvre, in Poland, Bartel wrote: “wir besitzen einige Werke, meist Broschüren über Luther, Calvin, sogar Hus und Zwingli, aber ich habe keine über Melanchton gefunden”.1 Bartel’s article provided a recapitulation, if somewhat incomplete, of the state of research at the time, and essentially stopped at the death of the Reformer. There- fore, in this study I would like to point to the results of the last thirty years of research, on the one hand, and highlight the post-mortem impact of Melanchthon’s writings and the reflection of his person in the memories of the next generations, on the other. The new information about the contacts Melanchthon had with Poland that has come to light since the 1960s is scattered across a number of articles or monographs; there is to date no separate study devoted to the German Reformer. Only a handful of contributions have been published. No wonder therefore that twenty years after the publication of Bartel’s article, Roman Nir begins his study of corre- spondence between Melanchthon and Krzycki thus: “Relatively little 1 O.

  • The Attractiveness of Court Culture During the Jagiellonian Era
    Odrodzenie i Reformacja w Polsce PL ISSN 0029‑8514 Special Issue Małgorzata Wilska (Warsaw) The Attractiveness of Court Culture during the Jagiellonian Era Court culture is generated predominantly by the social milieu surround‑ ing the king and monarchic authority. The court guaranteed a suitable setting for all the activity of the monarch and royal accounts did not separate expenses for the private needs of the ruler and his family and those of a state character. The transmission of cultural values occurred everywhere where the king and court stayed: on the meadow where land court sessions were held, at the castle during a feast, at an assembly, in the course of a hunt, and along the entire route of the king’s entourage. It should be kept in mind that the governance of Władysław II Jagiełło and his successors involved incessant motion, a constant traversing across Polish lands from Cracow to Lithuania. The image of the king viewed directly was connected in social mentality with a model of the monarch moulded by tradition and court ideology. This image was composed of two overlapping visions: the sacrum and the profanum. The former demanded respect for the God’s anointed, and the latter rendered him closer to the perspective of the subjects and exposed him to criticism.1 Chronicles enable us seeing changes occurring in the ideology of power during the reign of the Piast dynasty. Casimir III the Great was already far from the image of the warrior‑king and defender of the homeland depicted by Gallus writing about Bolesław I the Brave.

  • Prelude to the Birth of the —Kingdom of Livonia“
    Acta Historica Tallinnensia, 2009, 14, 31–61 doi: 10.3176/hist.2009.1.02 PRELUDE TO THE BIRTH OF THE “KINGDOM OF LIVONIA” Andres ADAMSON Institute of History, Tallinn University, 6 Rüütli St., 10130 Tallinn, Estonia; [email protected] The article provides an overview of the international situation and the situation in Livonia prior to the emergence of the project of the vassal kingdom of Livonia, and the developments and motives that pushed Duke Magnus of Holstein to overt collaboration with Tsar Ivan the Terrible. It is shown that the creation of the vassal kingdom was predominantly determined by external circumstances, primarily by Muscovy’s hope to achieve a division of Poland-Lithuania between Russia and the Habsburgs, following a normalisation of relations with the Holy Roman Empire and the imperial court after the eclipse of the male line of the Jagiellon dynasty, without relinquishing its conquests and claims of domination in Livonia. The material is presented in the form of a narrative, in view of the failure of previous historiography to effectively focus on the timeline of the events under discussion, the relevant documents, and the general background. By the end of 1568, the Livonian War had come to a standstill. In fact, at that time the Baltic Sea region was a scene of not one but three closely intertwined wars. The Northern Seven Years’ War (1563–1570) between Sweden and the coalition of Denmark, Poland-Lithuania and Lübeck had been virtually brought to a halt by the complete exhaustion and economic bankruptcy of the principal adversaries – Denmark and Sweden.

  • The Turkish Issue, Reformation and Counter- Reformation in Polish-English Contacts in the 15Th and 16Th Centuries
    Saeculum Christianum t. XXVII • 1/2020 s. 96-105 TOmASZ GRZEBYK1 Instytut Historii, Uniwersytet Rzeszowski ORCID: 0000-0001-9094-6665 THE TURKISH ISSUE, REFORmation AND COUNTER- REFORmation IN POLISH-ENGLISH contacts IN THE 15TH AND 16TH CENTURIES Abstract There are many matters in the history of Polish-English relations that have so far escaped the attention of historians dealing with this subject. Religious issues that are the subject of this article, which is the result of a monthly query in the British Library, Bodleian Library, and The National Archives of England and Wales realized thanks to the scholarship of The de Brzezie Lanckoroński Foundation, seem to be undervalued. The aim of the article is to present selected religious and political issues as important factors in the shaping of Polish- -English diplomatic relations at the turn of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Keywords: England, Poland, Ottoman Empire, Reformation, Counter-Reformation Kwestia turecka, reformacja i kontrreformacja w kontaktach polsko-angielskich w XV i XVI wieku Streszczenie Istnieje wiele tematów w historii stosunków polsko-angielskich, które dotychczas umykały uwadze historyków zajmujących się tą tematyką. Kwestie religijne, które są przedmiotem tego artykułu, będącego wynikiem miesięcznej kwerendy w British Library, Bodleian Li- brary oraz The National Archives of England and Wales, zrealizowanej dzięki Stypendium Fundacji z Brzezia Lanckorońskich, wydają się – zdaniem autora – niedowartościowane. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wybranych zagadnień religijno-politycznych jako istot- nych czynników w kształtowaniu się polsko-angielskich stosunków dyplomatycznych na przełomie średniowiecza i epoki renesansu.

  • Perception of Common Sense of Slavic Community in Polish and Bohemian Medieval Chronicles
    http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2084-140X.03.06 Studia Ceranea 3, 2013, p. 83–100 Adam Mesiarkin (Bratislava) Examining the Slavic identity in Middle Ages Perception of common sense of Slavic community in Polish and Bohemian Medieval Chronicles The closing report of a press centre of the organizing committee of the tenth Slavic Congress (Kiev, November 2010) does not discuss only a concept of the lit- erary reciprocity. Firstly, it presents a complex ideological program which includes cultural, economical as well as political integration. Secondly, it encourages work with the youth, ecological education and inspires re-establishment of the forgot- ten spirituality. The report also highlights the necessity of mutual communica- tion among scholars, journalists, politicians, artists, sportsmen and businessmen1. There is no need to emphasise that the main idea of this congress – in the mecha- nism of throwback– refers to the distant historical Slavic unity. The identification with the ethnonym Slav has alternately appeared in both Czech and Polish history along the development of an idea of Slavic nations/tribes’ congeniality. The question of Slavic identity is essentially interconnected with such terms as ethnogenesis and topogenesis. The problem is that a great number of previous- ly published works intended to discuss ethnogenesis does not address the ques- tions of mechanisms behind the emergence of the Slavic identity. This has been caused by inadequate methodology as well as terminology. Since written accounts are rather scarce, it is necessary to apply an archaeological and a linguistic ap- proach while researching the question of Slavic ethnogenesis as a process of form- ing and transforming identity.

  • The Early Modern Woodcut of Sigismund Augustus from ‘Confessio Fidei’ by Stanislaus Hosius
    ANCIENT, MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN ART CREATING THE IMAGE OF THE KING: THE EARLY MODERN WOODCUT OF SIGISMUND AUGUSTUS FROM ‘CONFESSIO FIDEI’ BY STANISLAUS HOSIUS Oleksii Rudenko Творення образу Короля: ранньомодерний дереворит Сигізмунда Августа з «Визнання віри» Станіслава Гоз’юша Олексій Руденко Моя стаття присвячена деревориту із зображенням польського короля Сигізмунда ІІ Августа Яґеллона (1520-1572), а також імовірному авторству цієї ранньомодерної емблеми. Ця композиція з’являється в другому віденському виданні за 1560 р. «Визнання віри» авторства польського єпископа, а згодом кардинала Станіслава Гоз’юша (Stanislaus Hosius, Stanisław Hozjusz). Ця ж композиція наявна у віденському виданні 1561 року, однак відсутня у всіх подальших репринтах. У той же час, Національний музей у Кракові визначає походження цього деревориту з міста Майнц і датує 1557 роком, однак у наявних екземплярах видання 1557 року в Бібліотеці Чарторийських та Баварській бібліотеці в Мюнхені цей дереворит відсутній. У своїй статті я висвітлюю мистецькі особливості композиції даної емблеми – портрет короля, значення обрамлення його постаті династичними та територіальними гербами та аналізую і перекладаю текст 12- рядкового вірша латинською мовою. Вірш пояснював успіхи Сигізмунда ІІ, по-перше, походженням його імені від давньоримського принцепса Октавіана Августа, а по-друге, вірністю короля Католицькій церкві. Враховуючи призначення Гоз’юша папським нунцієм до Відня у 1559 році, цілком імовірним вбачається безпосереднє залучення єпископа до творення образу польського короля, особливо враховуючи діяльність Гоз’юша на Контрреформаційній ниві в Європі. Здійснювалось це з подвійною метою: аби виконати своєрідну повчально-католицьку місію для Максиміліана ІІ Габсбурга, а також для промоції образу Сигізмунда Августа на міжнародній арені. У статті акцентується увага на античних ремінісценціях, до яких звертався автор, а також визначені можливі подальші напрямки досліджень рецепції античності (the classical reception) в контексті ранньомодерної Європи.

  • Tracing the Cardinal Hosius “Baptist” Quote by Ben Townsend
    1 Tracing the Cardinal Hosius “Baptist” Quote By Ben Townsend Preliminary note: In the Introduction to J.M. Carroll’s “The Trail of Blood,” Clarence Walker gives credit to Hosius’ Apud Opera, pages 112-113. Walker’s church, Ashland Avenue Baptist Church in Kentucky hosted J.M. Carroll’s lectures years before the book was completed, and Carroll gave J.W. Porter, then pastor of First Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky, the right to publish the lectures in a book. This fifty-six page book, published in 1931, the same year that Carroll died, contained the Introduction by Clarence Walker. In it, Walker explained that he and Carroll shared a love for Baptist History together. The Hosius Quote comes right after the sentence: “Likewise, in writings of their enemies as well as friends, Dr. Carroll found, their history and the trail through the ages was indeed bloody.” Then he gives the Hosius Quote. Here is the Introduction’s exact quote in “Trail.” “Cardinal Hosius (Catholic, 1524), President of the Council of Trent: ‘Were it not that the baptists have been grievously tormented and cut off with the knife during the past twelve hundred years, they would swarm in number greater than all the Reformers.’ (Hosius, Letters, Apud Opera, pp. 112, 113)” I have taken the liberty of highlighting three portions of the above quote, the words “cut off with the knife,” “twelve hundred years,” and “swarm in greater number.” This way, you can follow where Carroll got his quote from in the books that preceded his book. I will highlight them in Red bold.
