The Grand Duchy of Lithuania As a Successor of Rome in the Early
Open Political Science, 2018; 1: 170–181 Research Article Joanna Orzeł* From imagination to political reality? The Grand Duchy of Lithuania as a successor of Rome in the early modern historiography (15th–18th centuries)# https://doi.org/10.1515/openps-2018-0015 received December 17, 2018; accepted December 31, 2018. Abstract: At the beginning of the Renaissance Lithuanians understood that to join the civilization of Western Europe, it was necessary to have an appropriate (it means: very long) tradition. Like other countries, they had to create their own myth of origin. The most prestigious tradition was Greek-Roman antiquity, so the country’s origin story was invented, claiming its people descended directly from Rome. According to subsequent chronicles, the founder of the new state was Palemon (Publius Libon, initially Vilia). Using the theory of cultural memory of Jan and Aleida Assmann, the article presents how and why the Lithuanian myth of origin was transformed from 15th to the end of the 18th century. Particular attention was paid to the current needs of the state and the powerful noble families of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which also found their origins in the state myth. During the early modern period, the changes in the story were made (including the date of Palemon’s arrival in the Lithuanian lands). Nonetheless, the myth was not questioned for a long time. Even once it had already been established that it was no more than a fairy tale, the story was revived again, performing other functions in the 19th century. Keywords: cultural memory; foundation myth; mythical genealogy; Palemon; the Grand Duchy of Lithuania; Polish- Lithuanian historiography; Greco-Roman antiquity in early modern period. -

At the Foundations of Narbutt's Vision of Lithuania and the Relations
res historica 47, 2019 DOI: 10.17951/rh.2019.47.157-179 Paweł sierżęga (University of rzeszów) https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6774-4096 at the Foundations of Narbutt’s Vision of Lithuania and the relations Between Poland and Lithuania U podstaw Narbuttowskiej wizji Litwy i stosunków polsko-litewskich Abstract Teodor Narbutt’s works on the history of Lithuania provoked ambivalent evaluations. On one hand the importance of the subject he undertook was emphasised, on the other hand, the author was reproached for deficiencies in methodology, which disqualified him as a historian. His research grew on the basis of interest in Lithuanian culture, it led to the search for autonomous properties of the Lithuanian statehood, emphasising differences proving the separateness of Lithuania and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania within the fra- mework of the Kingdom of Poland. The theses stated within the work have not withstood the test of time, they did not meet the social expectations. They were quickly verified by the political events of the second half of the 19th century. Although Narbutt’s works were criticised, they influenced the shape of Lithuanian culture. Key words: Teodor Narbutt, history of historiography, 19th century In this article I focus on the analysis of Polish and Lithuanian relations as seen in the works of Teodor Narbutt. They are in line with the studies on historical thought in the historiographical trend1. T. Narbutt focused almost 1 M.H. Serejski, Przeszłość a teraźniejszość.

Sources of the National Museum of Lithuania
Nordisk Museologi 2001 • 1–2, s. 193–203 Sources of the 193 National Museum of Lithuania Zygintas Bucys ”Not all yet understand the true meaning of the Museum, thinking that it is something like Valhala, where morality and genius must be exalted. Not all yet understand that Archæology, trying to avoid empty inducements, today’s passions, is not obliged to flatter a nation’s pride. By collecting monuments of all that was alive and interesting in the past, history is given the right to evaluate, praise or condemn. In the faces of ancestors it is not looking for beauty, but likeness”.1 The first museum in Lithuania – the Vilnius Museum of Antiquities – was established almost a hundred and fifty years ago (1855) according to this statement of belief by of one of the most famous researchers of Lithuanian culture in mid-19th century, Adam Kirkor. Despite the difficult circumstances during the museum was named the National Museum occupation by Czarist Russia, the museum of Lithuania. was established as a national museum, and In 1855 when the Museum of Antiquities throughout its history it had to endure vari- was established the independent Lithuanian ous calamities: the removal of a major part of state was already only an episode from the its collections to Russia, the abolition of the past inscribed in the cultural memory.

14 FROM ETHNOCENTRIC TO CIVIC HISTORY: CHANGES IN CONTEMPORARY LITHUANIAN HISTORICAL STUDIES DARIUS STALIŪNAS One could analyze the changes that have taken place in Lithuanian historical writing over the past fifteen years in various ways. There is an institutional aspect to this question, namely how the creation of new, or the transformation of existing institutions, has affected developments in writing history.1 Another aspect of the issue concerns methodology; changes in the range of topics covered by historians, or in other words, the filling in of so-called “blank spaces”; and the relationship between mass historical consciousness and historiography. It is not feasible to deal with all these issues in a single article. Here we wish to draw attention to a well-known phenomenon whereby changes in historical paradigms are connected with changes in collective identity, be it national2 or European identity.3 Here we will concentrate on how attitudes to the object of Lithuanian historical study and Lithuanicity have changed over the past fifteen years in Lithuanian historical writing. If we wish to understand recent changes we must of course begin with a short review of earlier Lithuanian historical studies. 1 In the case of Lithuania it would be interesting to look at the effect of a particular kind of decentralization: practically speaking fifteen years ago historical research was carried out only in Vilnius, but now we have strong academic centres in the universities of Kaunas and Klaipėda and work has begun in Šiauliai University. When looking at Holocaust studies we should investigate to what extent they have been influenced by Lithuania’s Presidential Commission for the Investigation of War Crimes of the Nazi and Soviet Occupations. -

PREFACE This book is the fruit of collaboration between several colleagues. In 2011 the historian Gediminas Lesmaitis made a sensational discovery in the Wawel Castle Section of the National Archive in Cracow, where he came across a Cyrillic manuscript copy of the Broad Redaction of the Lithuanian Chronicles.1 The present Author recognised the copy for what it was and brought it into scholarly circulation via an article containing an appendix with a few fragments of the text, which was published in the series Senoji Lietuvos literatūra in 2013.2 This article was received favourably by the inter- national scholarly community.3 We may also say that scholars now refer to the text by our term, ‘the Wawel Copy’. Here we publish an amended and extended version of the said article, which grew out of discussion with our colleagues Nadežda Morozova (Vil- nius) and Jan Jurkiewicz (Poznań), and further study of the manuscript and its archival location. Perhaps the most important revelation made here is a decade earlier dating of the copy, which is now thought to have appeared sometime in the 1560s–1570s. This volume also contains Dr Morozova’s commentary on the orthography of the Wawel Copy, which provides an opportunity to assess attempts by Polish and Belarusian philologists to re- construct ‘the original Cyrillic copy of the Bychowiec Chronicle’; we also review a publication of the Wawel Copy which appeared to our surprise in Białystok in 2016 from the pen of a young researcher from Minsk, Hanna 1 The former State Archive in Cracow (Archiwum Państwowe w Krakowie), now known as the National Archive in Cracow (Archiwum Narodowe w Krakowie). -
Cultural Aspects of the Mission of St. Bruno
Jûratë TRILUPAITIENË 469 SUMMARIES CULTURAL ASPECTS OF THE MISSION OF ST. BRUNO As the 1,000th anniversary of the mentioning of Lithuania nears, the interest of society and scientists for this special event has grown. More and more discussions are taking place as regards the state’s ancient his- tory and the first mention of the country on the political map of Old Europe. In researching particular aspects of cultural and spiritual life of the period, the inquisitive focus of scientists is directed at the Baltic tribes, their customs and traditions, belief system, language, material and spiritual culture, which take up a wide geographic area. Resear- chers have shown interest in aspects of St. Bruno von Qeurfurt’s mis- sion, because this missionary is linked with the first mention of the name Lithuania in written records in 1009 in the Quedlinburg Annals. The relevance of St. Bruno’s mission in the context of Lithuania’s cultural history extends beyond the borders of more problematic to- pics. One of those is the cultural meaning of St. Bruno’s mission, look- ing at it through the musical prism of liturgy. As a result this mission should be evaluated not only as a geographic and geopolitical prob- lem in Lithuanian history, but also a geocultural one. In Lithuanian historiography, cultural and confessional/artistic aspects of the mis- sion, linked to the dispersion of Christian art, have not been exam- ined. In this article, discussion will focus on when and in what forms the signs of Christian art could have reached Lithuania, looking at the activities of the first missions as a phenomenon of a spiritual and cul- tural life.
