  • Jesuit Education in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1565–1773)
    journal of jesuit studies 5 (2018) 441-455 brill.com/jjs Jesuit Education in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1565–1773) Jakub Niedźwiedź Jagiellonian University, Cracow [email protected] Abstract This article examines the impact of the Jesuit educational system on the culture of the multi-religious and multi-ethnic federation, through four problems. The first part of the paper presents the beginnings and development of the educational network and the Jesuit monopoly of education in the country. In the second part, it is shown how the Ratio studiorum was adapted to local conditions and how Latin culture was promoted in the Orthodox provinces of eastern Poland and Lithuania. One of the major consequences of these processes was the unification of a literary language and literature in Polish (Polish became the second language of Latinitas). The third part raises the question of the impact of rhetorical studies on political activity of the gen- try, through the formation of the citizen-orator ideal. The development of literature, theatre, music, and the sciences forms the subject of the fourth part, which also lists the main achievements of Jesuit scholars and alumni. In conclusion, some observa- tions are offered on the specific nature of Jesuit education in this part of Europe and its legacy after the dissolution of the Society of Jesus. Keywords Jesuits – Poland – Lithuania – early modern education – Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth – Jesuit colleges – Polish literature © niedźwiedź, 2018 | DOI:10.1163/22141332-00503006 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the prevailing cc-by-nc license at the time of publication.

  • The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth As a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity*
    Chapter 8 The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity* Satoshi Koyama Introduction The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) was one of the largest states in early modern Europe. In the second half of the sixteenth century, after the union of Lublin (1569), the Polish-Lithuanian state covered an area of 815,000 square kilometres. It attained its greatest extent (990,000 square kilometres) in the first half of the seventeenth century. On the European continent there were only two larger countries than Poland-Lithuania: the Grand Duchy of Moscow (c.5,400,000 square kilometres) and the European territories of the Ottoman Empire (840,000 square kilometres). Therefore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the largest country in Latin-Christian Europe in the early modern period (Wyczański 1973: 17–8). In this paper I discuss the internal diversity of the Commonwealth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and consider how such a huge territorial complex was politically organised and integrated. * This paper is a part of the results of the research which is grant-aided by the ‘Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research’ program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2005–2007. - 137 - SATOSHI KOYAMA 1. The Internal Diversity of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Poland-Lithuania before the union of Lublin was a typical example of a composite monarchy in early modern Europe. ‘Composite state’ is the term used by H. G. Koenigsberger, who argued that most states in early modern Europe had been ‘composite states, including more than one country under the sovereignty of one ruler’ (Koenigsberger, 1978: 202).

  • Marriage, Inheritance, and Family Discord: French Elite and the Transformation of the Polish Szlachta
    Blackburn: Marriage, Inheritance, and Family Discord 2 WORLD HISTORY REVIEW / Summer 2004 MARRIAGE, INHERITANCE, AND FAmily DISCORD: FRENCH ELITE AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE POLISH SZLACHTA by Christopher Blackburn [M. Damon to M. Wisdom] As to philosophy, you should know that our present age is one of enlightenment. Along with English frock coats, philosophy has come into vogue. In the boudoirs of the most fashionable ladies, right next to embroidery hoops and face powder you will find volumes of M. Rousseau, the philosophical works of Voltaire, and other writings of that sort. —Ignacy Krasicki (1776) Several important themes permeate Monsieur Damon’s instruc- tions to his aristocratic pupil. Most significant is not that Poland was a part of the general European Enlightenment, but that Polish enlight- ened thought resided primarily within “fashionable” elite circles and was ultimately based on the writings of the French philosophes. The wholesale acceptance of French culture brought a clear and conscious change to the szlachta’s traditionally Sarmatian character, while at the same time the szlachta family was unconsciously transformed by the more subtle Western notions of kinship and affective individual- ism, a process that culminated with the reign of the last enlightened despot—Napoleon Bonaparte.2 The mentalité of the Polish nobility was recast in the eighteenth century as its membership embraced selectively certain aspects of both the Enlightenment and ancien régime France. The piecemeal acceptance of these ideas by the traditionally Sarmatian nobility led to the evolution of an ideology resembling Enlightened Sarmatianism—one that embraced formal education, individualism, and Western appearance, which coexisted with agrarianism, anti-urbanism, and devotion to the Church.3 Once again the szlachta displayed its paradoxical nature by Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2003 1 World History Review, Vol.

POLAND’S CONTENTIOUS ELITES ENTER THE AGE OF REVOLUTION: ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHY SOCIAL MOVEMENT SCHOLARSHIP SHOULD BECOME EVEN BROADER1 Piotr Konieczny John Markoff Pre-print version (will be replaced by post-print two years after publication per journal embargo policies) ABSTRACT Scholars of social movements commonly call for the field to be broadened in various ways because movements are often intertwined with other forms of conflict and because the causes or consequences of movements may operate differently in different contexts.

Jahrhundert (Deutsches Historisches Institut Warschau. Quellen und Studien. Band 35). Wiesbaden: Harrasoowitz Verlag, 2018, 525 p. ISSN 0947-4226; ISBN 978-3-447-10956-7 Martin Faber’s monograph Sarmatismus: Die politische Ideologie des pol- nischen Adels im 16. Und 17. Jahrhundert (Sarmatism: The Political Ideology of the Polish Nobility in the 16th and 17th Centuries)1 is devoted to an analysis of the circumstances and development of the ideology behind the multifaceted phenomenon known as Sarmatism. Historiography associates Sarmatism with the Central East European region, distin- guishing primarily the nobility of the Kingdom of Poland, the culture it nurtured, the way of life, the world-view, the national consciousness and the ideology. A number of studies have been conducted in Polish historiography on this topic. That might be why the author raises the question in the preface of the book as to whether a researcher who is not a Pole takes a risk in choosing to analyse Sarmatism. He also notes that a trend has emerged whereby German historians are turning their attention to Poland’s history, and German-Polish relations are becoming the focus of the research. Another reaction, in his view, could arise if a foreigner dares to analyse a phenomenon that is traditionally considered to be specifically Polish, and grew into the Polish consciousness far back in history. On the other hand, Faber admits that he was surprised that the research project on the Sarmatism of the Polish nobility met with greater disapproval in Germany than in Poland.

  • In the Podolian Steppe
    chapter one IN THE PODOLIAN STEPPE The contents [of Mendel Lefin’s Der ershter khosed (The First Hasid)] are obvious from the title. It investigates the origins of Hasidism, which was rooted in the cities of Podolia from the very beginning. Who knows what we lack in losing this book? He undoubtedly informed us truthfully [about Hasidism] because he was its contemporary, both in time and place.1 Abraham Baer Gottlober (1885) The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth In 1569, in an act of state known as the Union of Lublin, the Kingdom of Poland and the Duchy of Lithuania came together to form the Polish-Lithu- anian Commonwealth. The new state was one of the largest in Continental Europe, stretching from the Dvina in the north to the Black Sea in the south and from beyond the Dniepr in the east to Silesia and West Prussia in the west. The two parts of the Commonwealth shared a common king, parlia- ment (Sejm), political structure, and foreign policy, but had distinct law codes, armies, and administrations. The Commonwealth’s republicanism was unique in Europe, but severely delimited by the social structure of the state, the majority of whose denizens were peasants. Known as the “Noble Repub- lic,” the Commonwealth boasted one of the largest noble classes in Europe. Free from taxation, with almost unrestrained power in the Polish Sejm to enact legislation and elect the king, the Polish szlachta (nobility) enjoyed a high level of political rights compared to their noble peers in the rest of Europe. The Polish nobility regarded itself as descendants of a race of “heroic Sarmatians” who had defeated Rome.

It argues that the szlachta’s and the gentry’s (the lesser nobility in Poland and England respectively) relations with their social superiors seem not to have undergone such significant changes since the late Middle Ages as has often been argued. The aristocracy were seen as the wealthier, more powerful and more respectable section of the wider class of gentlemen. They were expected to act as leaders of the gentry and the people in peace and at war, and to assist the monarch in running the country through participation in government and administration.
