Rydlówka 24, Kraków Introduction Between 1963 and 1970, as part of its series Elementa ad Fontiun Editiones, the Polish Historical Institute in Rome issued Documenta polonica ex Archivo Generali Hispaniae in Simancas, seven volumes of documents pertinent to the history of Poland edited by Rev. Walerian Meysztowicz.1 The collections in Simancas are not only important for understanding Polish-Spanish relations, but also very effectively illustrate Poland’s foreign policy in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the role the country played in the international arena. In this respect, the Spanish holdings are second only to the Vatican archives. In terms of the quality and quantity of information, not even the holdings of the Vienna archives illuminate Poland’s European politics on such a scale. Meysztowicz was well aware of this, opening his introduction (Introductio) to the first part of the publication with the sentence: “Res gestae Christianitatis sine Archivo Septimacensi cognosci vix possunt.”2 1 Elementa ad Fontium Editiones, vol.

VII. – 5 – At the outset we must stress a fact that cannot be emphasized enough: the most important collections of documents illustrating the ties between Poland and Spain through the end of the eighteenth century are found in Spanish archives. The disproportion between the amount and quality of the documents preserved in each country is astounding (the only exceptions are the documents pertinent to Dantyszek’s embassy and the Neapolitan sums from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries). This is not simply due to fundamental differences in the organization and functioning of the diplomatic service of both countries, but stems primarily from differences in their systems of government, administrative organization, and the level of development of their respective bureaucracies. In Polish sources information about political issues has to be scrupulously tracked down in large amounts of material pertaining to the Neapolitan sums and the resultant fragmented picture is made up of individual matters and topics that do not coalesce into a coherent whole. In the far more plentiful Spanish sources, on the other hand, broadly defined political issues decisively predominate and present bilateral relations much more fully, whilst at the same time situating them within a concrete European context. The unique make-up of the Spanish records pertinent to the role of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in Europe arises from the administrative system of the Spanish monarchy as well as the organization of and the principles governing the country’s diplomatic service. The minutes of the sessions of the Council of State (Consejo de Estado) have proven to be of vital importance in this respect. Current affairs were discussed and the direction for Spain’s foreign policy and methods for its implementation were set out during council meetings. The council analyzed diplomatic correspondence from its network of embassies throughout Europe (of particular importance for Poland were Vienna, Rome, Venice, and Paris) and the diplomatic activities of the viceroys and governors of countries ruled by Spain (especially – 6 – significant for Polish history is the correspondence of the governors of the Spanish Netherlands and the viceroys of Naples). Because Spain’s national interest and the monarchs’ reputations depended upon it, policy goals were set based upon this information. Polish issues appear in this very broad context as both direct and indirect relations (information relating to, Poland but not directly pertinent to Polish-Spanish relations). The publication of documents from the Archivo General in Simancas is fully justified and necessary to the research of both Polish and foreign historians. Materials pertaining to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth are found primarily in the Secretaría de Estado section, which contains documents relating to Council of State business and foreign policy. The entire section comprises 8,000 legajos (bundles of papers), divided into forty-nine series containing documents pertinent to specific countries or diplomatic missions.3 Polonica from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are found primarily in the series Negociación de Alemania which comprises 345 volumes and is an integral part of the records pertinent to Madrid’s relations with the Holy Roman Empire and other German states. This section also contains a separate series called Negociación de Polonia (legajos 6580–6597), but the documents all date to the eighteenth century.4 In seven volumes of the EFE, 3 See Angel de la Plaza Bores, Archivo General de Simancas. Guía de investigador, Madrid: 1992, pp. 108–122. 4 In EFE, vol. VIII, pp. 1–10, Walerian Meysztowicz briefly presented the contents of Negociación de Polonia (legajos 6580–6597). His treatment of the subject is somewhat broader than that found in the Catologo II. Secretaría de Estado. (Capitulaciones con la Casa de Austria y negociaciones de Alemania, Sajonia, Polonia, Prusia y Hamburgo 1493–1796, ed. by Julián de Paz, Madrid: 1942. The letters of the Count of Aranda, Spanish ambassador to Poland from 1760 to 1762 (Estado, legajo 6583) have been published in Colleción de Documentos Inéditos para la Historia de España, vol. CVIII, Madrid: 1893, pp. 327–509. The ambassador’s private letters found in AGS, Estado, libro 154, have been published in Cartas desde Varsovia. Correspondencia privada del Conde de Aranda con Ricardo Wall (1760–1762), ed. by C. Gonzáles Caizán, C. Taracha, and D. Téllez Alarcia, Lublin: 2005. – 7 – Meysztowicz published altogether 1,279 documents from Simancas, including 1,093 documents from the series Negociación de Alemania dating from 1515 through 1620 held in seventy-seven legajos (Estado, legajo 635–712). These materials were issued in six volumes VIII, XI, XII, XV, XVI, and XIX of the EFE. In volume XXI he published materials from the series Necgociación de Napoles, España y Norte and Patronato Real.

In the first place, we studied subsequent legajos of the Negociación de Alemania. Documents from Estado, legajos 635–712, dated from 1510 to 1620, from the set – 8 – of records called Correspondencia5 were published in the EFE. The documents published in the EFE were reviewed and compared against the contents of several legajos, leading us to conclude that Meysztowicz carefully compiled source documents not omitting any important records or even documents with only passing mentions of Poland. Here we should mention the Spanish historians and archivists who helped edit the publication issued by the Polish Historical Institute, especially the eminent historian Felipe Ruiz Martín, whose contribution Meysztowicz praised very highly,6 and archivist Adela González Vega.

The thesis explores the importance of these events for queens as both a personal and public experience, and questions the existence of distinctly Western and Eastern styles of queenship. A comparative study of ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ ceremony in the sixteenth century has never been attempted before and sixteenth- century Polish queens usually do not appear in any collective works about queenship, even those which claim to have a pan-European focus.

  • Impact of the Artificial Strait in the Vistula Spit on the Hydrodynamics
    water Article Impact of the Artificial Strait in the Vistula Spit on the Hydrodynamics of the Vistula Lagoon (Baltic Sea) Michał Szydłowski * , Tomasz Kolerski and Piotr Zima Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Gda´nskUniversity of Technology, Narutowicza 11/12, 80-233 Gda´nsk,Poland; [email protected] (T.K.); [email protected] (P.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-58-347-1809 Received: 25 March 2019; Accepted: 8 May 2019; Published: 10 May 2019 Abstract: In the Vistula Lagoon, storm surges are induced by variable sea levels in the Gulf of Gda´nsk and wind action. The rising of the water level in the southern part of the basin, exceeding 1.0 m above mean sea level, can be dangerous for the lowland area of Zuławy˙ Elbl ˛askie,causing the inundation of the polders adjacent to the lagoon. One of the potential possibilities to limit the flood risk is to decrease the water level in the lagoon during strong storm surges by opening an artificial canal to join the lagoon with the Gulf of Gda´nsk.The decision to build a new strait in the Vistula Spit was made in 2017. In order to analyze the impact of the artificial connection between the sea and the lagoon during periods of high water stages in the southern part the lagoon, mathematical modelling of the hydrodynamics of the Vistula Lagoon is required. This paper presents the shallow water equations (SWEs) model adapted to simulate storm surges driven by the wind and sea tides, and the numerical results obtained for the present (without the new strait) and future (with the new strait) configuration of the Vistula Lagoon.

GUSTAFSON has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts _______________________________________________ Dora Wilson Professor of Music _______________________________________________ Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GUSTAFSON, ADAM R., Ph.D., June 2011, Interdisciplinary Arts The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria Director of Dissertation: Dora Wilson Drawing from a number of artistic media, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary approach for understanding how artworks created under the patronage of Albrecht V were used to shape Catholic identity in Bavaria during the establishment of confessional boundaries in late sixteenth-century Europe. This study presents a methodological framework for understanding early modern patronage in which the arts are necessarily viewed as interconnected, and patronage is understood as a complex and often contradictory process that involved all elements of society. First, this study examines the legacy of arts patronage that Albrecht V inherited from his Wittelsbach predecessors and developed during his reign, from 1550-1579. Albrecht V‟s patronage is then divided into three areas: northern princely humanism, traditional religion and sociological propaganda.

  • Instrumentalists and Renaissance Culture, 1420–1600
    Instrumentalists and Renaissance Culture, 1420–1600 This innovative and multilayered study of the music and culture of Renaissance instrumentalists spans the early institutionalization of instrumental music from c.1420 to the rise of the basso continuo and newer roles for players around 1600. Employing a broad cultural narrative interwoven with detailed case studies, close readings of eighteen essential musical sources, and analysis of musical images, Victor Coelho and Keith Polk show that instrumental music formed a vital and dynamic element in the artistic landscape, from rote function to creative fantasy. Instrumentalists occupied a central role in courtly ceremonies and private social rituals during the Renaissance, as banquets, dances, processions, religious celebrations, and weddings all required their participation – regardless of social class. Instrumental genres were highly diverse artistic creations, from polyphonic repertories revealing knowledge of notated styles, to improvisation and flexible practices. Understanding the contributions of instrumentalists is essential for any accurate assessment of Renaissance culture. victor coelho is Professor of Music and Director of the Center for Early Music Studies at Boston University, a fellow of Villa I Tatti, the Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies in Florence, and a lutenist and guitarist. His books include Music and Science in the Age of Galileo, The Manuscript Sources of Seventeenth- Century Italian Lute Music, Performance on Lute, Guitar, and Vihuela, and The Cambridge Companion to the Guitar. In 2000 he received the Noah Greenberg Award given by the American Musicological Society for outstanding contributions to the performance of early music, resulting in a recording (with Alan Curtis) that won a Prelude Classical Award in 2004.

  • Ambassadors in Golden-Age Madrid the Court of Philip IV Through Foreign Eyes
    Ambassadors in Golden-Age Madrid The Court of Philip IV through Foreign Eyes edited by Jorge Fernández-Santos and José Luis Colomer prologue by John H. Elliott epilogue by Miguel-Ángel Ochoa Brun Nationalism and Transnationalism in the Court of Spain | 13 Prologue: Nationalism and Transnationalism in the Court of Spain John H. Elliott In the summer of 1963 Lord Hailsham, at that time the British Minister for Science, came back from Moscow, where he had been sent as the emissary of the Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, to take part in negotiations being conducted with the Russians for partial nuclear disarmament. He returned to London with presents for Macmillan from his opposite number, Nikita Kruschev, the Premier of the Soviet Union. These consisted of caviar, crab meat and wine. Macmillan reciprocated with a vase and some Stilton cheese.1 It was one further, and rather banal, episode in the long story of diplomatic gift-giving that is a central theme of this book. Madrid, the seat of the Spanish court since 1561, was a great, and perhaps the greatest, European centre for the exchange of diplomatic gifts during the later sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Effectively the capital of a world- wide monarchy, the Monarquía española, Madrid exercised a gravitational pull over the representatives of the other states of Europe, whether they were en- emies or rivals, allies or satellites of the Spanish crown. At least until the 1640s and 1650s, when Spain’s European hegemony ceased to be taken for granted, the Spanish Habsburg monarchs, Philip II, Philip III and Philip IV, enjoyed a commanding position on the international stage.
