  • Polish Witnesses to the Faith Speak About of Mary
    ROCZNIKI TEOLOGICZNE Tom LXII, zeszyt 2 — 2015 KAZIMIERZ PEK MIC POLISH WITNESSES TO THE FAITH SPEAK ABOUT OF MARY POLISH WITNESSES TO THE FAITH SPEAK ABOUT OF MARY Abstract.Father P. Skarga and John Paul II no adopted the principle that every bio- graphy of a saint must mention his or her devotion to Mary. This “omission”of sorts was due to various reasons. Sometimes testimonies were missing, other times the biographers only wanted to highlight the central truthsof the Christian Mystery. They both spoke of Marian devotion in the contextof the whole of Christian witness, the whole Mystery of Christ. Their accounts indicate that the Polish saints discussed here represent many models of Marian devo- tion. Fr. Skarga and John Paul II pointed to various forms of Marian devotion of the Polish saints: from summoning of the Mother of the Lord to imitating her attitudes. In the light of these accounts, the hypothesis that there is one way in which the Polish saints lived their devotion to Mary is disproved. Key words: Piotr Skarga, Jan Paweł II, Polish mariology. To review the Polish cult of the Virgin Mary in a historical panorama seems to be a task of enormous size. What one can reasonably do then is to present a contribution to this extensive topic, limiting the discussion to a sin- gle source. One such special source are biographies of saints. To take a clear account of the time parameter, it is worth consulting two great promoters of testimonies of the saints and Marian devotion, Fr. Piotr Skarga (writings from the turn of the 16th/17th century) and John Paul II (communications from the last two decades of the twentieth century).

  • The Integrating and Disintegrating Role of Silesian Art Between 1526 and 1740
    Piotr Oszczanowski University of Wrocław The integrating and disintegrating role of Silesian art between 1526 and 1740 Abstract: The issue of Silesian art is a methodological matter, one which the scholars are studying for nearly a century. Results of research reinforce the belief that Silesian art – especially at the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th century, as well as in the Baroque – formed distinct qualities determining it’s unconventional worth, allowing it to be included with the artistic achievements of the continent. An attempt to answer which factors shaped the identity of the early modern Silesian art leads to two groups of factors, specifically cohesive and disruptive. Among the co- hesive factors are historical events, the Catholic-Lutheran conflict, which, in Silesia lasted all through the Early Modern Period. Also of importance was the tradition of the Middle Ages and the availability of materials used by local artists (e.g. glass, sandstone). Among these works of particular importance are the workshops creating for the Cistercian monasteries (in Lubiąż, Krzeszów, Henryków, and Trzebnica). This resulted in the creation of a distinct mystic trend. It was associated with the development of Silesian iconographical tradition, e.g. in the local por- trayal of saints and religious imagery. Among the factors disruptive to the artistic identity of Silesia is being a part of common artistic tradition (the western civilisation) and ideological (Christianity). This led to universal content of both lay and religious artworks. Silesia’s location at the hub of many transportation routes as well as on the border between two large states made it an area, which “absorbed” external influence.

  • The Cultural Identity of Medieval Silesia: the Case of Art and Architecture
    Romuald Kaczmarek University of Wrocław The cultural identity of medieval Silesia: the case of art and architecture Abstract: The cultural identity of architecture and visual arts of the Middle Ages in Silesia can be analyzed in the following frameworks: 1.) the distinct formal features of local artwork; 2.) the specific content expressed through it. Macro factors (the type of materials and their availability) are important in ar- chitecture, as are architectural patterns and styles. Of greatest frequency in this context are brick buildings, with sandstone used for details. In the 14th century distinct and formal patterns of style in architecture took shape (such as the basilica form of town churches), as was the case with detailed construction and aesthetic solutions applied in walls and vaults. Factors shaping the specificnature of Silesian art were the influence of dominant styles (initially from the Czech state, later southern Ger- many, including Nuremberg), political contexts (affiliation with the Bohemian Crown) and religious ones (mostly the selection and popularity of patron saints). Keywords: vaults, ducal tombstones, Piast dynasty, St Hedwig, St John the Baptist The subject of Silesia’s cultural identity in the Middle Ages, viewed from the nar- row perspective of architecture and fine arts, has not had much scholarly attention de- voted to it in recent decades, notwithstanding a few attempts to identify unique Silesian characteristics in certain groups of work or artistic genres. One obvious reason for this restraint may be

Gendered Piety and Patronage in Late Medieval Bohemian Illuminated Codices Allison McCann, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2019 The manuscripts forming the core of this dissertation’s four case studies are some of the most artistically ambitious and theologically rich books to emerge from fourteenth-century Bohemia—and the European Middle Ages broadly—but they have not yet been considered together as an art historical phenomenon. Made at a moment when aristocratic women were playing a new role as divine matriarchs, these complicated and dynamic manuscripts open new avenues of inquiry into the intersection of later medieval gender and patronage. The pictorial programs of these manuscripts visualize the agency of their patrons, owners, and subjects in challenging and expansive ways and enrich our understanding of late medieval devotional practice and art production in the broadest terms.

  • Regional Identity in Silesia (Until 1526)
    Wojciech Mrozowicz University of Wrocław Regional identity in Silesia (until 1526) Abstract: During the search for factors constituting proof of the existence of a Silesian regional identity in the Late Middle Ages, the author analyzed the process of formation and functioning of common traditions. Among the contributing factors analyzed is the name Śląsk/Silesia and the process through which it entered the collective consciousness. The Piast dynasty was a significant element of this tradition, considering the attempts made at preserving their memory, primarily within historiographical works. Saint Hedwig of Silesia (d. 1243) was of particular significance to this dynasty; her cult changed from one dynastic in nature into regional, as she became the patron saint of Silesia. In Silesian tradition Piotr Włostowic (d. circa 1151) is another very important figure; his literary and historiographical prowess allowed him to rise to the status of regional hero. The local Church was also significant in the forging of regional identity. The author analyzed the actions it took for the purpose of preserving and strengthening knowledge about the Bishops of Wrocław, indicating such sources as the bishop catalogues which were widespread in Silesia. Much attention was paid to the regional discourse present within chronicles and other publications; in the Late Middle Ages these became the main platform for expression of regional issues. Analyzing the particulars of some events, the author indi- cated the tangled paths to the formation of a Silesian regional identity. This was primarily the result of the far-reaching ethnic changes taking place in Silesia at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries, along- side the influence of cultural traits imported from bordering regions.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See JOHN PAUL II Homily at Mass and Canonization of Blessed Kinga Wednesday, 16 June 1999, Stary Sacz 1. “Saints do not fade away. Saints draw life from other Saints and thirst for holiness”. Dear Brothers and Sisters! Almost thirty-three years ago I spoke these words at Stary Sacz, during the celebration of the Millennium. In doing so I made reference to a particular circumstance. Despite the inclement weather, the people of the territory of Sacz and the surrounding area had come to this city and that whole great assembly of the People of God, headed by the Cardinal Primate Stefan Wyszynski and the Bishop of Tarnów, Jerzy Ablewicz, prayed to God for the Canonization of Blessed Kinga. How then can I fail to repeat these words on the day when, by the decree of Divine Providence, it has been granted me to celebrate her Canonization, just as two years ago it was granted me to proclaim the sainthood of Queen Hedwig, the Lady of Wawel? Both came to us from Hungary, both entered into our history and have remained in the memory of the nation. Like Hedwig, Kinga has defied the inexorable law of time which erases everything. Centuries have passed, yet the splendour of her holiness has not only not faded, but it shines even more for successive generations. They have not forgotten this daughter of the King of Hungary, Princess of Malopolska (Little Poland), Foundress and Nun of the Convent of Sacz. And this day of her Canonization is a most magnificent proof of this.
