  • The Role of Charitable Activity in the Formation of Vilnius Society in the 14Th to Mid-16Th Centuries S.C
    LITHUANIAN historical STUDIES 17 2012 ISSN 1392-2343 PP. 39–69 THE ROLE OF CHARITABLE ACTIVITY IN THE FORMATION OF VILNIUS SOCIETY IN THE 14TH TO MID-16TH CENTURIES S.C. Rowell ABSTRACT This article examines the development of charitable activity in the city of Vilnius and elsewhere in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania before the middle of the sixteenth century by studying the foundation of almshouses to care for the poor and destitute and foster the memory and salvation of pious benefactors. Almshouse foundations developed from increasing forms of practical piety within the GDL from the late fifteenth century, following earlier west European and Polish models. The first, dedicated to traditional patrons of such institutions, St Job and St Mary Magdalene, was founded by a Vilnius canon and medical doctor, Martin of Duszniki with the support of the monarch, Sigismund the Old, and his counsellors between 1518 and 1522. The almshouse swiftly became an established part of the city’s sacral topography. The fashion was adopted by Eastern Orthodox parishes in Vilnius too, and later spread to other confessional groups. Twelve charters are published for the first time in an appendix. Christian charity in public spaces flourished throughout Catholic Europe during the 13th to 15th centuries 1. Indeed, the first chari- table intitutions for the poor are known in England from the tenth century. It behoved the bishop elect on taking his oath of office to protect the poor and the sick 2.

  • "Białowieska" As a Universal Example of Cooperation Between Jews
    EASTERN EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF TRANSNATIONAL RELATIONS 2018 Vol. 2 No. 1 DOI: 10.15290/eejtr.2018.02.01.01 Wojciech Konaszczuk1 University of Maria Curie Skłodowska The Case of “Białowieska” as a Universal Example of Cooperation Between Jews, Poles and Russians2 Abstract. Article analyses the phenomena of ”Białowieska” forest as a starting point for cooperation between the Jewish, Polish and Russian nations. The research is based on historical, theoretical background as well as from the over national point of view. Analysed extraordinary status of “Białowieska” through the ages is not only universal but timeless. The research proves that multinational cooperation between nations can be achieved with respect for each other’s values and with positive mutually effective results. Key words: Jews in Białowieska, Poles in Białowieska, Russians in Białowieska, cooperation between the Jewish, Polish and Russian nations, Białowieska Universal Case, Hassidic movement in Poland, Chabad Lubavich in Poland. Is it possible to imagine a natural model of cooperation between nations which would reject religious, cultural and ethnic determinants and introduce some harmony between representatives of various nations? How to explain a peculiar phenomenon of cooperation between previously hostile nations who have pushed aside their mutual animosities and resentments? What is the natural element to eventually make people of diverse religions respect others and treat them as peers? Finally, what makes people start cooperating with each other by rejecting the wrong and choosing the right? Is it a top-down rule of conduct conceptualised as a legal norm? Undoubtedly, there is an unequivocal answer to these cognitive problems, namely commerce.
