The author focuses on the miniatures executed en grisaille, discussing their themes, composition and significance. After comparing the codex with a book of hours from the Belgian Royal Library in Brussels, she ends by giving a short iconographic description of the most artistically refined works in this seldom-employed technique.

Satyryczna bowiem wypowiedź Ignacego Krasickiego wskazuje, że moda na zagraniczne wy- jazdy kuracyjne, panująca wśród polskiej szlachty i magnaterii w XVIII w., miała nie tylko zdrowotne podłoże: Pewnieś chory dla wody; a że Karlsbad blisko, Zaciągnąłeś takowej słabości nazwisko, Co do Spa zaprowadza.

Uwagi niezwykle bystrego obserwatora staropolskiej rzeczywistości XVIII w., jakim był Krasicki, dowodzą, że wojaże do europejskich uzdrowisk stały się w drugiej połowie stulecia niezwykle modne i zaczęto je traktować jako wysub- limowaną formę rozrywki, stanowiącą połączenie aspektu rekreacyjnego z cha- rakterem kuracyjnym i towarzyskim przedsiębranej podróży.

  • Information for Persons Who Wish to Seek Asylum in the Russian Federation
    INFORMATION FOR PERSONS WHO WISH TO SEEK ASYLUM IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION “Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in the other countries asylum from persecution”. Article 14 Universal Declaration of Human Rights I. Who is a refugee? According to Article 1 of the Federal Law “On Refugees”, a refugee is: “a person who, owing to well‑founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of particular social group or politi‑ cal opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country”. If you consider yourself a refugee, you should apply for Refugee Status in the Russian Federation and obtain protection from the state. If you consider that you may not meet the refugee definition or you have already been rejected for refugee status, but, nevertheless you can not re‑ turn to your country of origin for humanitarian reasons, you have the right to submit an application for Temporary Asylum status, in accordance to the Article 12 of the Federal Law “On refugees”. Humanitarian reasons may con‑ stitute the following: being subjected to tortures, arbitrary deprivation of life and freedom, and access to emergency medical assistance in case of danger‑ ous disease / illness. II. Who is responsible for determining Refugee status? The responsibility for determining refugee status and providing le‑ gal protection as well as protection against forced return to the country of origin lies with the host state. Refugee status determination in the Russian Federation is conducted by the Federal Migration Service (FMS of Russia) through its territorial branches.

  • Preußischer Kulturbesitz
    LEAF. Linking and Exploring Authority Files (www.leaf-eu.org) Jutta Weber Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz The project LEAF is funded by the EU under the 5th framework (IST program). It started in March 2001 and will run for three years. The scope of LEAF reflects the new role which authority data get in libraries, archives and museums: Their internal use in the cataloguing process, the authority control which is needed when authority data originating from different sources are used in a distributed retrieval process and the access control which in fact is dependent from the quality of authority data: All this can be summed up under the question: How can millions of existing authority data originating from very different sources be used together by everybody (librarian, archivist, museologist, public user) in a way that there will be no loss of information, no data accumulation without quality check but an automated linking between high quality information driven by actual user needs? LEAF will try to enhance search and retrieval facilities by providing high quality access to authority information for everybody. For this purpose LEAF is developing a model architecture for collecting, harvesting, linking and providing access to existing name authority information, independent from their creation in libraries, archives or museums and independent from national differences. The scenario will be build using authority files about person names and is integrating the user directly into the establishing of a Central European

  • The German 290Th Infantry Division at Demyansk by Henning Nagel and Vance Von Borries
    The German 290th Infantry Division at Demyansk By Henning Nagel and Vance von Borries During September 1941 the summer advance into the Soviet Union by German Army Group North had largely ended. In the north, units of the Army Group’s 18th Army laid siege to Leningrad while to the east and south they stood against Soviet efforts to relieve the great siege. To the south, 16th Army entered the Valday Hills region, taking Demyansk on September 8th thereby securing Army Group North’s southern flank and establishing a link with its neighbor, Army Group Center. By the end of November the 16th Army conducted little more than local actions and the campaign in the area settled in to static warfare. The main German effort had shifted south to Army Group Center in front of Moscow. Yet, as Army Group Center began to close around Moscow, it too lost momentum and shifted to the defensive. Then the Soviets struck. What began as a limited counter-offensive against Army Group Center in December grew by January 1942 into a general strategic offensive that threatened to expel the Germans from much of the Soviet Union. Practically all German divisions in Russia were caught up in the winter campaign and at times each would find itself thrown back on its own resources. Little else would be available. In the Demyansk/Valday area all German divisions worked together and each played an important role, sometimes critical, in withstanding the Soviet tide. The story of the 290th illustrates how these divisions held together. The 290th Infantry Division (ID), part of 16th Army’s X.Army Corps in the Valday region, had been formed in March and April 1940 in the Munsterlager Troop Maneuver Area from newly trained north German personnel.

  • Nomination Form, You Can Find a CD with Examples Illustrating the Content of the Collections
    Memory of the World International Register Collections of the 19th century of the Polish Historical and Literary Society / Polish Library in Paris / Adam Mickiewicz Museum (Poland) 2012-26 1.0 Summary (max 200 words) The Polish Library in Paris (Bibliothèque Polonaise de Paris—BPP) was created in 1838 by Polish political émigrés who had found shelter in the French capital. This is where they could carry on various actions aiming at gaining back the independence of the State which had been lost at the end of the 18th century. Led by the wave of ideologies linked to independence and people’s freedom movements arisen in Europe in the early 19th century, it was established as a peaceful form aiming at fighting for freedom and independence. In the 19th century, Europe built places of memory such as libraries and archives in the independence States. At that time, the BPP acted as a means of substitution and continuity of the institutions destroyed by the foreign forces occupying the Polish territories. It came to birth thanks to the efforts carried out by the émigrés and the support of European intellectual elites as well as the authorities of the French State. The latter felt involved in the idea originating the creation of the BPP and they supported the action of a nation whose fight for independence, during the Uprising of 1831, had moved many European nations, aroused their admiration and strengthened their own aspirations for independence. The Polish Library gathered the scattered sources which enabled to document the history of Poland, along with the publications carried out by the emigration.

The development of peripheral areas: The case of West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland Martin KEBZA a * Abstract The process of peripheralisation of outlying areas is discussed in this article using a case study of West Pomeranian (Zachodniopomorskie) Voivodeship in Poland. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between these peripheral areas and metropolitan core areas. Scalar and vector data on selected indicators in the years 2005 and 2015 for gminas (communes, territorial units NUTS 5) are presented. The values for both years were observed as well as the change between them. A composite indicator based on the calculated data was developed, and it served as the basis for categorisation of metropolitan, 'semi-peripheral' and peripheral areas, which were further defined on the basis of their intrinsic properties and location in the region. The development of such peripheral areas is assessed more generally in the conclusions. Keywords: periphery, metropolitan area, regional development, West Pomeranian voivodeship, Zachodniopomorskie, Poland Article history: Received 20 October 2016; Accepted 30 August 2017; Published 31 March 2018 1.

Deported for reeducation to the Jiabiangou Camp in Western China, in the heart of the Gobi Desert, thousands of miles from their families and loved ones, some 3,000 poor or middle-class ‘intellectuals’ from Gansu Province were forced to submit to conditions of absolute destitution. As a result of backbreaking physical labour, an unrelentingly extreme climate and terrible food shortages, many perished nightly in the ditches where they slept.
