The idea behind it is to discuss the development and complexities inherent in the printing of books — an initially revolutionary way of building up international communication networks in this important region. An international group of researchers involved in the project takes on board a wide array of subjects ranging from the first books printed at the end of the 15th century in Central Europe (the first printing press in the region was established in 1473 in Cracow, Poland), through the contacts between Western, Central and Eastern Europe thriving in the 16th and 17th centuries, to the books about newly emergent sciences in the 18th century. Bringing in their various interests and perspectives, the contributors illuminate the vast chronological scope and undeniable variety of print culture in Early Modern Central Europe. Historically speaking, Central Europe has persistently been — and still is — lingering in a kind of cultural isolation from the West. There are different reasons for this “un-knowledge.” One of them is a language barrier, with the Central-Euro- pean languages (Polish, Czech, Romanian or Hungarian) largely unknown to Westerners. Also Central Europe’s rich cultural history, which saw its golden age in the Early Modern period, still remains, for the most part, a terra incognita in popular Western reception. That is why Central Europe should be, as Prof. Sieg- fried Huigen from the University of Wrocław had formulated it, “relocated” in the studies of the Early Modern period. “Relocating Central Europe in international humanities research by way of fo- cusing on international communication networks since Gutenberg” was the guid- ing objective Prof. Huigen phrased for international scholarly “meeting points” in Wrocław (Poland). He developed its essential premises, and within the framework he largely devised, an international seminar was held in the historical capital of Silesia in September, 2013. Why Wrocław? This Central-European city, known under so many names — Wratislavia (Latin), Vratislav (Czech) and Breslau (German), to name but a few — is barely recognisable in the West today. (One of the few notable excep- tions is Microcosm: Portrait of a Central European City, a comprehensive history AE_Early Modern_Ksiega.indb 7 2015-03-20 12:55:42 8 Stefan Kiedroń, Anna-Maria Rimm of Wrocław by Norman Davies and Roger Moorhouse.) But in the Early Modern period this city was a special place and played an important role in the Habsburg Empire. Crucially, it still proudly boasts an immense collection of books from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries housed in the Wrocław University Library. The wealth of old prints makes the city even more “print culture special”. But there is more. In the past, Silesia’s Wrocław had vibrant connections with Alsace’s Strasbourg and Brabant’s Antwerp. Furthermore, Silesia was at one point a part of the Crown of Saint Wenceslaus, alongside Bohemia, Moravia, Lusatia and, temporarily, also Upper Palatinate and parts of Brandenburg. The grid of con- nections among these regions stretched onto such Central-European countries as Austria and Hungary and, in fact, it spread out into Southern Europe (Italy and Spain), Western Europe (France and Holland) and Northern Europe (Sweden). The Wrocław book and print collections provide ample insights into how this net- work came into being and kept expanding. Clearly, Wrocław, lying more or less in the centre of Central Europe, is indeed the Meeting Place for print culture. Of course, when we address “Central Europe” as a phenomenon, it is import- ant to bear in mind that the neighbouring countries were by no means separated from it by some unbridgeable divide (as the maps of Central Europe, the Cu- sanus-map from the 16th century, Fig. 1, and the Schenck-map from the 18th cen- tury, Fig. 8, tell us). Their print cultures may have been at the periphery, but they were definitely there. And what sense does it make to speak of national borders in the context of intellectual goods, such as books? In the Early Modern period, the country borders were blurred and in constant flux. At the same time, the intel- lectual, Latin-reading, book-buying elite in each and every one of those countries was relatively small. This meant that international networks were expedient, if not outright necessary. Scandinavia, for instance, could not be called a part of Central Europe either in the Early Modern era or today. But the Swedish realm lay (and, of course, still does) just across the sea from Poland, and trade between the two countries flour- ished, with merchandise including books among many other commodities. It is difficult to speak about national book trades in Early Modern Europe; neverthe- less: their transcontinental connections are obvious. The “Print Culture Meeting in Wrocław” was organised by the Academia Euro- paea (London), the Academia Europaea Knowledge Hub Wrocław and the Faculty of Letters at the University of Wrocław. The Chairman was Prof. Stefan Kied- roń, and the Scientific and Organising Committee included Prof. Pieter Emmer (University of Leiden, Academia Europaea), Prof. Siegfried Huigen (University of Wrocław), Dr. Irena Barbara Kalla (University of Wrocław) and Dr. Aleksandra Nowak (Academia Europaea Knowledge Hub Wrocław). The project was generously funded by the Stiftelsen Riksbankens Jubileums- fond för humanistisk och samhällsvetenskaplig forskning (Bank of Sweden Tercen- tenary Foundation for Humanities and Social Sciences), a foundation set up in AE_Early Modern_Ksiega.indb 8 2015-03-20 12:55:42 Introduction 9 1968 to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the Sveriges Riksbank (the central bank of Sweden) founded in 1668, that is, in the Early Modern period. The “Print Culture in Wrocław” was an exciting and illuminating scholarly meeting, assembling many scholars from Belarus, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden and the USA. The keynote speakers were Prof. Andrzej Borowski (Head of the Department of Old Polish Liter- ature at the Faculty of Polish Studies, Jagiellonian University; Vice-president of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences), Prof. Gábor Gángó (Institute of International Studies and Political Science, Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Hungary schol- arly advisor in the Institute of Philosophy of the Research Centre in the Human- ities, Hungarian Academy of Sciences), Prof. Béla Mester (Institute of Philosophy of the Research Centre in the Humanities, Hungarian Academy of Sciences; Assistant Professor at the College of Nyiregyhaza), Prof. Jonathan Israel (Princeton Univer- sity, USA, an eminent specialist on the European Enlightenment), Dr. Anna-Maria

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.

  • 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.
