Yours faithfully, Mayor of the City of Lublin Krzysztof Żuk The Trail of Famous Lubliners The Trail of Famous Lubliners is a path that leads to the places asso- ciated with life and work of many people who significantly marked their presence in Lublin. They were either natives of the city or those whose fate led them to become associated with Lublin. These people represent different faiths, nations and cultures. For most of them, Lublin was a source of inspiration in their artistic, scientific or patri- otic activities. Their life stories are embedded within the city’s history because it is people who have been shaping the city and its character throughout the centuries. To You I sing, Lublin by Franciszka Arnstein (excerpt) To You I sing, Lublin, sited on two hills, to you, venerable stones, witnesses of a bygone glory, proudly towering majestic mossy heads into the sky, though the crown of gleams and scruples was heedlessly torn off from you (...)

Nonetheless, there was a lack of information about making paper by hand in Central and Eastern Europe, as it was highlighted during discussions.1 This paper is aimed at connecting east central and east southern parts of Europe (i.e. without Russia and Nordic countries) to the international stream of development in European hand papermaking before introducing paper-making machines into countries of the discussed region of Europe.

  • Intrinsic Value and Perceived Essentialism of Culture Heritage Sites As Tools for Planning Interventions
    sustainability Article Intrinsic Value and Perceived Essentialism of Culture Heritage Sites as Tools for Planning Interventions Magdalena Roszczynska-Kurasinska 1,* , Anna Domaradzka 1 , Anna Wnuk 1 and Tomasz Oleksy 2 1 Robert Zajonc Institute for Social Studies, University of Warsaw, 00-183 Warszawa, Poland; [email protected] (A.D.); [email protected] (A.W.) 2 Faculty of Psychology, University of Warsaw, 00-183 Warszawa, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In order to remain alive and relevant, cultural heritage sites have to react and adapt to changing context in a coherent manner, i.e., in a way that is in line with the memory and identity of the place. The incoherent changes, i.e., the transformations that according to the local community do not agree with a character of a place, can be destructive for the long-term vitality of urban cultural heritage. In this study, we test which factors influence social acceptance of different alternations within the context of urban historical gardens that might, in turn, ensure the resilience of the place. Our study focuses on the intangible qualities of the place measured by intrinsic value, perceived essentialism and anti-essentialism as important predictors shaping the response to change. The correlational study was conducted using an online questionnaire designed to empirically grasp intangible qualities of cultural heritage sites. Five hundred twenty-nine responses were included in the analysis. The study shows that perceived historic value, inherent value (uniqueness and importance of the place) and Citation: Roszczynska-Kurasinska, (anti-)essentialist character of a place capture the differences between parks well and enables the M.; Domaradzka, A.; Wnuk, A.; finding of interventions that are coherent with a site’s genius loci.

  • Moses Mendelssohn and the Jewish Historical Clock Disruptive Forces in Judaism of the 18Th Century by Chronologies of Rabbi Families
    Moses Mendelssohn and The Jewish Historical Clock Disruptive Forces in Judaism of the 18th Century by Chronologies of Rabbi Families To be given at the Conference of Jewish Genealogy in London 2001 By Michael Honey I have drawn nine diagrams by the method I call The Jewish Historical Clock. The genealogy of the Mendelssohn family is the tenth. I drew this specifically for this conference and talk. The diagram illustrates the intertwining of relationships of Rabbi families over the last 600 years. My own family genealogy is also illustrated. It is centred around the publishing of a Hebrew book 'Megale Amukot al Hatora' which was published in Lvov in 1795. The work of editing this book was done from a library in Brody of R. Efraim Zalman Margaliot. The book has ten testimonials and most of these Rabbis are shown with a green background for ease of identification. The Megale Amukot or Rabbi Nathan Nata Shpiro with his direct descendants in the 17th century are also highlighted with green backgrounds. The numbers shown in the yellow band are the estimated years when the individuals in that generation were born. For those who have not seen the diagrams of The Jewish Historical Clock before, let me briefly explain what they are. The Jewish Historical Clock is a system for drawing family trees ow e-drmanfly 1 I will describe to you the linkage of the Mendelssohn family branch to the network of orthodox rabbis. Moses Mendelssohn 1729-1786 was in his time the greatest Jewish philosopher. He was one of the first Jews to write in a modern language, German and thus opened the doors to Jewish emancipation so desired by the Jewish masses.

  • Artykuły Recenzyjne I Recenzje 183 Wania Kanclerza Ruskiego Oraz Brak Zróżnicowań Między Wymienionymi Kancelariami
    182 Artykuły recenzyjne i recenzje Trzeba także osobno nieco uwagi poświęcić przypisom, którymi opatrzony został tekst. Na pewne szczegółowe pro- blemy dotyczące przypisów zwróciłam już uwagę, ale osobno warto przyjrzeć się przypisom biograficznym. Edytorka we wstępie napisała: „Ze względu na dość częste przytaczanie w korespondencji nazw miejscowości, nazw geograficznych, nazwisk uczonych czy też terminów stricte naukowych, zdecydowano się na krótkie ich wyjaśnienia w przypisach” (s. 29). Nie jest dla mnie jasne, czy w związku z tym brak jakichkolwiek objaśnień np. przy nazwisku gen. Piffera (s. 33) lub wspo- mnianego Bradshawa (s. 36) należy tłumaczyć tym, że nie byli to uczeni; ale co zatem z astronomem „dr Horusby” (czyli Hornby s. 42), „doktorem Sheapherd”, czy panem „Walkiers” (s. 45, dwaj ostatni to bez wątpienia uczeni, jak wynika z kon- tekstu)? Nie rozumiem dlaczego Edytorka deszyfruje, kim jest książę Jorku (s. 37), a nie rozwiązuje, kim jest książę Norfolk (s. 36). Tam gdzie postacie pojawiające się w źródle zostały objaśnione w przypisach, Edytorka powołuje się na opracowa- nia, przywołanie których stawia pod znakiem zapytania naukowy charakter edycji, za to sugeruje popularnego odbiorcę jako docelowego adresata pracy.

  • 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.
