How Marywil Came to Be. the Creation of Warsaw's Residential and Commercial Complex in the Light of the Correspondence Betwee
Jarosław Pietrzak HOW MARYWIL CAME TO BE. THE CREATION OF WARSAW’S RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL COMPLEX IN THE LIGHT OF THE CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN OTTON FRYDERYK FELKERSAMB AND MARIA KAZIMIERA SOBIESKA FROM 1694* Introduction The area of the Marywil complex, once located between today’s Józefa Piłsudskiego Square and Moliera Street, Wierzbowa Street, and Senatorska Street, currently houses the monumental edifice of Teatr Wielki and its adja- cent parking lot. The history of the complex combining residential and com- mercial functions has already been thoroughly studied and described in sec- ondary sources; it would seem that there is nothing to add or modify within this area of research1. * The text was written as part of the grant project NCN FUGA 4 (agreement UMO-2015/16/S/HS3/00095) entitled “Organisation and operation of the courts of Maria Kazimiera d’Arquien Sobieska in Poland, Italy, and France in the years 1658–1716”. 1 M.

Kochański and the Jesuits
ORGANON 14 LA SCIENCE BAROQUE ET WILANÓW Ludwik Grzebień (Poland) KOCHAŃSKI AND THE JESUITS Adam Kochański belongs to those Polish Jesuits about whom we do not have much information. The works he devoted himself to extend beyond the usual limits of the work undertaken by the Jesuits, they were not very striking, and did not afford the college chroniclers the material they required. Besides, frequent changes of his permanent place of residence did not promote his glorification in domestic annals. The few archival documents were destroyed or scattered as a result of the suppression of the Society of Jesus, wars and national cataclysms. None the less, it is possible today to trace fairly clearly the changes in his life, to present his works, acquaint oneself with his troubles and problems, and finally to become acquainted with his influence upon the environment in which he lived and worked1. Kochański was born on the 5th August, 16312 in Dobrzyń district (or in Dobrzyń itself). He completed his secondary education in the Jesuit College in Toruń where in the lower classes he took grammar, syntax, poetics and rhetoric3. The Jesuit College in Toruń was not especially remarkable at that time. But Copernican traditions were strong in Toruń and there was a well established Protestant School there during this period. On the 24th August, 1652 Kochański entered the noviciate of the Society of Jesus in Wilno4. Why was Wilno his choice? The Jesuits had two provinces at this time. The Polish one, to which Toruń belonged, and the Lithuanian with Wilno and Warsaw. The noviciates were only in Wilno and Cracow. -

Rozbieżności W Gronie Opozycji Przeciwko Rządom Króla Augusta II W Koronie W Okresie Dominacji Szwedzkiej W Latach 1704–1706
Echa Przeszłości XX/1, 2019 ISSN 1509–9873 DOI 10.31648/ep.4836 Rafał Kowalski Uniwersytet Warmińsko-Mazurski w Olsztynie Rozbieżności w gronie opozycji przeciwko rządom króla Augusta II w Koronie w okresie dominacji szwedzkiej w latach 1704–1706 Streszczenie: Niniejszy artykuł porusza kwestię rozbieżności, jakie wystąpiły wśród oponentów króla Augusta II Wettyna w Koronie w latach 1704–1706. Najazd szwedzki na Rzeczpospolitą w 1702 r. doprowadził do zaognienia napiętej sytuacji, jaka panowała pomiędzy poddanymi a próbującym umoc- nić swoje rządy Augustem II. Wywodząca się głównie z Wielkopolski opozycja zawiązała konfederację antykrólewską. W lutym 1704 r. konfederaci pod wpływem szwedzkich nacisków doprowadzili do de- tronizacji króla Augusta, a następnie do elekcji antykróla – wywodzącego się z kręgu opozycji wojewodę poznańskiego Stanisława Leszczyńskiego. Narzucony szlachcie przez szwedzkiego monarchę Karola XII król nie zyskał akceptacji wśród innych opozycjonistów. Szybko dały o sobie znać rozbieżności nie tylko celów politycznych liderów malkontenckich, ale także niezaspokojona ambicja i zazdrość z powodu wy- niesienia na tron osoby ze swojego kręgu społecznego, do tego pozbawionej autorytetu. Prymas Michał Radziejowski, jeden z głównych sprawców detronizacji króla Augusta, po elekcji Leszczyńskiego odsunął się od działalności politycznej. Podobnie postąpili inni przywódcy malkontenccy. Brutalność szwedzkich najeźdźców, a także nieudolność Leszczyńskiego nie uspokoiła sytuacji w Rzeczypospolitej. Większość szlachty pozostała wierna -

The Sobieski Family: history, culture and society. Insights between Rome, Warsaw and Europe. 17 October 2019, Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanów, Villa Intrata 1. Alessandro Boccolini (University of Tuscia) La Lega Santa del 1684 e l’ambasciata straordinaria di Angelo Morosini alla corte di Jan III Sobieski tratta dalle carte conservate presso l’Archivio di Stato di Venezia. In the aftermath of the liberation of Vienna, papal diplomacy was activated to extend the Polish- imperial league to the Serenissima Republic of Venice. Mons. Buonvisi, the ordinary nuncio in Vienna, was to coordinate diplomacy. Such a political effort would lead to the signing of the Holy League between the Empire, Poland and Venice. The contribution aims to retrace the complex phases leading to the signing of the league, with particular attention to the embassy of Warsaw, held by Angelo Morosini between May and June 1684, sent by the Republic of Venice to inform Jan III of the ratification of the treaty. This embassy is testified by a Report still unpublished and preserved in the State Archives of Venice which, in combination with the already investigated diary of Giacomo Cavanis, Morosini’s personal secretary, which give a perfect picture of those agitated phases of the struggle against the infidel Turk. 2.

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. -

The Annihilation of the Arian “Capital”
ODRODZENIE I REFORMACJA W POLSCE ■ SI 2017 ■ PL ISSN 0029-8514 Janusz Tazbir The Annihilation of the Arian “Capital” The history of the fall of Raków was the subject of a special short dis- sertation by Józef Stańko1 already 35 years ago. At present, however, that work is absolutely insufficient. On the one hand (as stressed in a review of Stańko’s dissertation2), the author did not make use of all the sources available to him and committed many oversights and inac- curacies;3 on the other, since the time the work was published, new, fairly important sources clarifying the circumstances connected with the Raków trial have been added. Since the trial brought about the annihi- lation of the main centre of the Polish Brethren in the first half of the seventeenth century, it seems necessary to re-discuss the 1638 events, so tragic for the Polish Arianism, on the basis of more extensive sources. Founded in 1569 by the Calvinist voivode of Podole, Jan Sienieński, Raków has twice played a leading role in the history of our Antitrini- tarianism. First, between 1569 and 1572, as a centre of supporters of social radicalism and then again, from the beginning of the seven- teenth century until 1638, as a seat of the academy and typography famous all over Europe and the place of many synods grouping the best Arian thinkers. It is not surprising, then, that the Raków cen- tre was a thorn in the flesh of the opponents of the Polish Breth- ren who referred to it in an anti-Arian pamphlet printed in the early seventeenth century as a 1 J. -
Anna Leyk, Listy Marii Kazimiery Sobieskiej Do Jadwigi Elżbiety
ABSTRACT: The article constitutes the first Polish edition of Listy selected letters of Maria Casimire Sobieska to her daughter-in-law Hedwig Elisabeth Amalia von Pfalz-Neuburg, which survived Marii K azimiery in the Sobieski Archive in Olawa and are currently held in the Sobieskiej do Jadwigi National Historical Archives of Belarus in Minsk (fond 695, op. 1, Elżbiety Amalii no. 261). The princess, wife to Prince James Sobieski, is almost Neuburskiej* invisible in Polish historiography; a fact which finds its reflection in the Polish-language source materials. The modest selection of letters published herein seeks to redress this fault, if most Letters inadequately. The selected letters – thirteen out of forty – cover the of Maria Casimire period of over twenty-five years, between the year 1691, in which Sobieska to Hedwig the prince and princess married, to the year 1715. The situation Elisabeth Amalia of the Sobieski family, both in the Commonwealth and abroad, changed diametrically over that time, as did the European political von Pfalz-Neuburg scene; traces of those changes are found in the letters. They also throw an interesting light on Maria Casimire’s relationship with her daughter-in-law, belying the theory about the queen’s dislike DOI: of the princess, or even hostility towards her, put forward by 10.36135/MPKJIII.01377329.2020.SWXXVII.pp.91–127 19th-century historians. They are also an interesting pendant to Maria Casimire’s letters to her eldest son written over the same Anna Leyk period of time; the first two volumes of those letters have been Warszawa published by the Museum of King John III’s Palace at Wilanów.
