  • The Use of Books in 16Th-Century Vilnius
    TERMINUS t. 15 (2013), z. 2 (27), s. 167–184 doi:10.4467/20843844TE.13.013.1570 www.ejournals.eu/Terminus THE USE OF BOOKS IN 16TH-CENTURY VILNIUS JAKUB NIEDźWIEDź Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Kraków Abstract The main goal of the paper is to answer the question of what was unique about the use of books in Vilnius between 1522 and 1610. The reason to take a closer look at the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is the fact that it has always been a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious city. This observation allows the author to assume that the use of books there could have been different than in other European cities of the time. To find possible answers to the question posed, the author traces the changes in production, distribution and reading of books in the city. The research is based on sev- eral sorts of sources, such as printed books, manuscripts and documents from Vilnius archives (mainly the municipal archive, the Catholic chapter, the castle court etc.). He was supported by contemporary studies about early modern Vilnius scriptoria and printing houses (Kawecka-Gryczowa, Topolska, Nikalaieu), bookbinders (Laucevičius), book writing (Ulčinaitė, Narbutienė, Narbutas) and the history of the city (Frick). At the beginning of the paper the author recalls the main facts about Vilnius in the 16th century. The city had increasingly grown in importance as a political, economical and cultural centre of the Jagiellonian monarchy. The central part, divided in four chronologically arranged chapters, focuses on several problems, among them: the beginnings of Cyrillic prints and Skaryna’s print- ing house, languages and alphabets of books (Latin, Ruthenian, Polish, Lithuanian, German, Hebrew, Yiddish and Arabic), book production, dissemination, storage and reading.

  • Bogatyrev Upload Introduction
    1 Sergei Bogatyrev (University College London) Guest Editor Introduction: A Printer on the Move The present collection completes a joint project of University College London (UCL) and the British Library on the history of early Cyrillic printing.1 It focuses on the figure of the printer Ivan Fedorov, who began his career in publishing in Moscow in 1564 and died in L’viv in late 1583. Working first in co-operation with his partner Petr Mstislavets and later alone, Ivan Fedorov printed almost exclusively religious texts plus some primers and reference aids to the Bible. Ivan Fedorov’s magnum opus was the first full printed Bible in Church Slavonic that he published under the patronage of Prince Vasyl’-Kostiantyn Ostrozʹkyi in Ostroh (then in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, now Ukraine) in 1581. The overwhelming majority of Ivan Fedorov’s books are printed in Cyrillic characters, though he occasionally used Greek type. Ivan Fedorov usually attracts the attention of academia and mass media in connections with various anniversaries of his editions. Our project followed this established path by organizing an international conference at the British Library, “Revisiting Ivan Fedorov’s Legacy in Early Modern Europe,” in the anniversary year of 2014.2 The present collection includes selected papers from the conference and K.Iu. Erusalimskii’s paper which was submitted after the conference. What is special about the project is that it celebrated not one, but two anniversaries in 2014: the 450th anniversary of the Apostol (Apostolos, Acts and Epistles), the first book Ivan Fedorov printed in Moscow in 1564, and the 440th anniversary of his L’viv Primer, the first book he published in the territory of modern Ukraine in 1574.

  • An Experiment in Labelling Draw-A-Map Maps
    Studies in Polish Linguistics vol. 12, 2017, issue 4, pp. 221–240 doi:10.4467/23005920SPL.17.011.8243 www.ejournals.eu/SPL Kamil Stachowski Jagiellonian University in Kraków An Experiment in Labelling Draw-a-Map Maps Abstract Apart from offering a contribution to perceptual dialectology of Poland, the paper discuss- es an experiment in which two groups were set a map drawing task. One group was given a map on which major cities were marked while the other a map with the main regions. The two maps combined from their answers have proven to be nothing alike, suggesting that this one detail in the design of the study can dramatically influence its results, and as such it needs to be paid particular attention and further investigated. Keywords perceptual dialectology, draw-a-map, methodology, Polish language Streszczenie Artykuł jest przyczynkiem do dialektologii percepcyjnej Polski, ale przede wszystkim dyskusją wyników eksperymentu, w którym dwie grupy poproszono o wypełnienie map. Jednej przedstawiono mapy z zaznaczonymi głównymi miastami, drugiej – z głównymi regionami geograficznymi. Mapy powstałe przez scalenie ich odpowiedzi okazały się dia- metralnie różne, co sugeruje, że ten jeden szczegół w sposobie przygotowania kwestiona- riusza może bardzo istotnie wpłynąć na wyniki badania, i jako taki winien być starannie przemyślany i dokładniej przebadany.

  • BELARUS: an Orthodox Nation?
    FORUM 18 NEWS SERVICE, Oslo, Norway http://www.forum18.org/ The right to believe, to worship and witness The right to change one's belief or religion The right to join together and express one's belief This article was published by F18News on: 13 November 2003 BELARUS: An Orthodox Nation? By Geraldine Fagan, Forum 18 News Service <http://www.forum18.org> President Aleksandr Lukashenko has implied that Belarus is an Orthodox nation. However this is strongly disputed by those who point to the long history and present existence on Belarusian territory of other confessions. It has been suggested to Forum 18 News Service by an anonymous Orthodox source that the reason for the President's claim is that he "can't reject religion outright as it is too significant, so he needs to be able to rely on it." So, "he takes the first thing which comes to hand and is the largest - the Orthodox Church - not because he is Orthodox or because he cares about the Church but only because of that." An anonymous Protestant source agreed that politicians in Belarus were trying to use the Orthodox Church for political purposes. "The Orthodox Church is the basis of our faith," Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko told parliamentarians during his four-hour state of the nation address in April this year. According to the republic's 2002 religion law, the Orthodox Church plays "the defining role in the state traditions of the Belarusian people", something which government officials are obliged to take into account in their dealings with other religious organisations.

However, they did not manage to develop a coherent and effective politics of memory or to subsequently put this new message across to the public.

  • Proposal to Encode Additional Cyrillic Characters Used in Early Church Slavonic Printed Books
    Proposal to Encode Additional Cyrillic Characters used in Early Church Slavonic Printed Books Aleksandr Andreev* Yuri Shardt Nikita Simmons PONOMAR PROJECT 1 Introduction Church Slavonic (or Church Slavic, ISO 639-2 code cu) is a highly codified, living, literary lan- guage used by the Slavs. Presently, various recensions of Church Slavonic are used by Slavic Or- thodox Churches, such as the Russian Orthodox Church, and by Slavic Byzantine-Rite Catholic Churches as primary or secondary liturgical languages. Historically, the language was used not only for liturgical texts and religious literature but also for secular academic literature, such as grammars, lexicons, and even astronomical treatises, prior to the codification of literary recen- sions of vernacular Slavic languages. Church Slavonic has been wrien in two scripts – Cyrillic and the earlier Glagolitic. is proposal focuses on Church Slavonic texts printed in the Cyrillic alphabet only. In this document, the authors identify nine Cyrillic characters used in early Church Slavonic printed books published between 1500 and 1700. e characters can be classified as being of three types: characters used in historically important literary texts (such as the Bible printed by Fran- cysk Skaryna, the Ostrog Bible printed by Ivan Fedorov, or the Trebnik compiled by Metropolitan Peter Mogila). ese texts are of immense value to academics studying the history of Slavic lan- guages, the Cyrillic printed tradition, and the Byzantine Rite. e second class constitutes char- acters that are in use in liturgical texts published today by the Russian Old Ritualist community. Old Ritualists rejected the linguistic and liturgical reforms carried out in Russia under Patriarch Nikon and his successors (1653-1700) and continue to use liturgical books that imitate the ear- lier printed tradition.

  • Calvinists Kept Quiet
    FORUM 18 NEWS SERVICE, Oslo, Norway http://www.forum18.org/ The right to believe, to worship and witness The right to change one's belief or religion The right to join together and express one's belief This article was published by F18News on: 31 October 2003 BELARUS: Calvinists kept quiet By Geraldine Fagan, Forum 18 News Service <http://www.forum18.org> Although the Reformed Church's history in Belarus goes back to the 16th century, the authors of the 2002 religion law "forgot about the Calvinists", the presbyter of Minsk's present-day Reformed Church has told Forum 18 News Service. The Evangelical Lutheran Church is the only Protestant body described as "inseparable from the common history of the people of Belarus" in the 2002 religion law. The Minsk Reformed Church managed to hold an international conference to mark this year's 450th anniversary of the Reformation in Belarus, but faced much official obstruction. Following the conference, the Reformed Church has been told it needs to obtain official permission to hold worship services, but has yet to received any response to requests. Forced to find another location for services, the community has effectively been prevented from advertising them. The presbyter told Forum 18 "We cannot say that this Church exists, preaches Jesus Christ and doesn't bite." Baptists, Pentecostals, other charismatics and Adventists held a joint service of worship in Minsk on 19 October to mark the 450th anniversary of the Reformation in Belarus. While there were "hundreds of Calvinist communities" on Belarusian soil in the sixteenth century, however, the presbyter of Minsk's present-day Calvinist Reformed Church recently maintained to Forum 18 News Service that the authors of the republic's 2002 law on religion "forgot about the Calvinists for some reason." The Evangelical Lutheran Church is the only Protestant body specified as being "inseparable from the common history of the people of Belarus" in the preamble of that law.
